It wont take you that long on a Sunday morning

oh come on, where's the commitment...

if you make it i'll buy your bacon butty....

oh and if you think that's a long drive, some of us are convening in the far reaches of belgium in june 2010...

Top speed of 40 remember Paul!

I'll try to make it, might just have to B&B it on me lonesome

Oh yeah I forgot you've only got a 16VT

I'll hold you to that! Of course your easy get out clause is to not admit to being proccy when I get there, I'll know no different!

Belgium is just a little out of my range me thinks, except by boat/plane

Nah, doesn't take long on a Sunday morning, nice easy run, eh, Steve? Just as long as you dont get lost 2 miles off the pub... :-)

put me down as a maybe paul, ill know for sure the end of november.

Will be the last one for me guys before i go away and me coop is locked down for 2 years. Would be great to meet all the people before i shoot off.

Nick

It'll be great to meet you as well Nick.

Hi Paul

Put me and Rob down for this one

Cheers Dave

For once I should have that weekend free so count me in please. No more travelling till February after next week. Will be nice to get my weekends back.

Might pop along,my coupes abit of a dog in comparison to your lot tho. Will see more near the time.

just spotted sam's coupe 9.10 into the video on the main page

Wouldn't worry about that tbh

You'll soon realise that they're not all perfect, including mine.

It's slightly annoying that people think their Coupe isn't good enough for meets/shows (Don't know if annoying is the right word? Disheartening maybe? )

A Coupe is a Coupe and if it starts and runs, then get yourself there

So chalk me down and I look forward to meeting the Midlands and Welsh coups. Any breakfast on offer there?

Yes mate a bacon or sausage sandwich.

So do we need to do anything in advance? ive had a look at the website and cant see anything! do we book in or anything or just rock up?

Nick

ok if my thermostat and ecu sensor sorted by then i will see you guys there.

The more the merrier, this looks like it could be a great meet. Hope the weather is on our side cause at the moment, it's guaranteed to be sh** everyday! We'll need to get some pictures of everyone with their car and do a little write up!

I for one, can't wait to see all these coops lined up....

We normally meet at the Bell inn just up the road about 8.30 then drive in convoy so that way we can all park together.

righto

hey watch it mckenna, cheeky tw@

Paul I'll be there but will probably meet straight at Cosford as I have the family in tow.......The Kids love the Museum!
Proper family motor them Coupes

No problem mate see you there.

Hi Paul

Could you bring along some copies of the Club Calender from the shop to flog please?

Nice picture on back cover of summer meet at Cosford featuring a stunning yellow car and a very nice one in a sad blueish shade.

Dave

Hi Dave,

Sorry mate I haven't got any Calenders to sell, you'll have too order through Peter.

Paul

Put me down, in a BMW 750i, I'll tag on with you guys if that's OK.

Will be good to see you Matt

Can i tag along with you guys in my tipo my coupe off the road at the mo

Can't see it being a problem gassy

Cool I haven't sat in a tipo since I sold mine 6 years ago. Great cars

I'm no longer a maybe, despite my exceptionally busy XBox playing schedule, I'll be there.

Please await further post regarding some pathetic answer as to why I can no longer attend

Holy Pancakes! I should have been at the pub 50 minutes ago! Damn forum

I'll see you at the Bell at 8.30 :-)

Anybody have any links to The Bell Inn?
A google search provides about 9 billion results in the area.

Add my name to the list!

While your doing that Paul add plus 1 to me. Wife coming

Blimey this looks like it'll be a good turnout considering its December Hope the weathers dry!

If its the one we met at last time then it's on the A41 just north of M54 J3, cant miss it.

Small chance i may be able to come, will confirm closer to time

would be good to see you there matt

Hmm my carbon foot print for getting there will be 36.78kg, 1hr and 30mins from my house. Looks like it will be a very early start :-(

That's nowt stevo, I'm coming 3hours 15mins! Which means a rediculously early start

Fair one! Hope it is dry. anyone got a postcode for the bell?

I asked earlier and got given directions, following said directions get's me TF11 8PS on google maps.

Geographical coordinates to the centre of the car park ( ) 52.670199, -2.309409 (copy and paste into google maps)

That's about the weight of bacon I plan to consume. Not sure how that affects my carbon footprint but suspect it will impact on global warming!

These are always great meets, nice cars on display

Better not take mine then if there are nice cars on display. Mine needs some serious botox to get the dents and creases out of it. You should receive money for parking in carparks to cover the damage caused by parking in them. :-(

You'll be fine these are old cars so are bound to have there problems.

Can't be worse than mine!

May have reversed into a lampost at the weekend and taken a chunk of paint off the back

Not to self - De-mist, then move!

Guys not been to this one B4 - how long does it go on for?
Just askin' as my lad has early footie training so might be there at Breakfast time?

Had a dent man take out the worst of my dents today :-) so coupe will now be looking half straight. Wish I had it done sooner.

What did that set you back Steve and what is the finish like?

Well the finish on the ones he has tackled was spot on, I am really impressed as I thought my door needed to be painted. It was 50 pounds per panel plus vat. Had the major dents in both doors done for 115 all in.

Was hoping to have the car back in time, but it would appear that my turbo has self imploded so i'm going to have to pull out, sorry

Sorry to hear that Matt

Sorry to hear that Matt.

As long as u turn up thats all that matters glad to hear you get your dents sorted

Dammit, a great turn out and for one of the first times ever I can't make it.

Baaaaalllllssssssssssss

Unfortunately, I'm out too as I have no Coupe at the moment, unless you all want me to put you to shame and style it up in John's Ka! Yeah, thought so, I couldn't do it to you all... :-) Shame cos it looks to be one of the best turn-outs in a while, will miss the convoy down from the Bell.

Should be a good bit different when it comes back though.

I'm gonna pencil me in for this.
Bell at Tong for 08.45.

A bit hypocritical of me to say this as i dont always turn up at meets but i really hope everyone/most turn up for this as theyre good events

Well I'll be there with the missus and the video camera to record the day's events. I'll get ahead and record the convoy driving into Cosford, upload to YouTube in the evening with the other stuff recorded during the day .... well, I'm gone completely anal about my coupe, may as well go the full hog

Signing out - Patch, FCCUK videographer/archivist

no [censored] sherlock

be good to see you tommy me ole son...

Well I'm struggling with man flu, I've split up with my girlfriend, I've had a really bad week at work and it going to be cold.


But I'll still be there.

Sorry to hear that matey, hope the meet will cheer u up a bit. It'll be good to see ya proccy, just dont go hypnotising me to drive fast, it A...i...n...t gonna... ha..p....p...e...n..

oh and patch is your coop steel grey 20v turbo like the display pic because icon is porto blue lover

Can some one wash my car for me and change the rocker cover please? its too cold outside

Cheers

Sorry to hear that spate of bad luck Paul!
We'll all do our best to cheer ya up!




A Promise from everyone please - No p. taking out of Porto whilst Paul's about on Sunday

Oh!

What, all 45 seconds of it?

Hey, I like it, especially the first ever one.

Hope you can make it Adam.

Just great! - After cleaning the engine bay, bonnet release lever in footwell decided to go all floppy on me. No lifting the bonnet for me tomorrow! Hope there is someone going who knows how to fix this - fingers crossed ah!

I've looked at the how to, still can't open the bugger

someone will have a huge screwdriver and/or a big hammer patch - fear not....

You are the man Proccy

oh no no no no no - they're far too technical for me...

Looks like a dry and sunny one tomorrow, cold though.

Hey Paul, something is missing from here...

http://www.midlandsbreakfastclub.co.uk/page7.htm

I'll have to have a word tomorrow.

I'm leaving home in 6 hours to get up to the meet and will bring some 2010 calendars, so bring your money!

looking forward to seeing you there pete, ill be having one of them lovely calendars

Best get off to sleep! its a bit of a drive for you

See you all soon.

I'm hoping I feel a bit better in the morning I might wash my car then.

They are indeed lovely fantastic quality and some amazing pictures, nice to see forum members cars making an appearance too! any coop fanatic needs one of these!

tommy, there...tomorrow...we will see (only pulling your leg chap)

this looks like a good one, gutted I have to work ! enjoy & I look forward to the photays ....

Great to meet-up with you all, sorry that I couldn't hang around for too long.

Some photos here:

http://s803.photobucket.com/albums/yy311/tony_f_photos/Cosford/

Great people, great cars, great venue, great weather; altogether a very enjoyable sunday morning out.
Cheers all.

Great meet as normal, great turn out

Im trying to get some photos uploaded but to say photobucket is playing up would be a understatement!

enjoyed that folks, thanks very much. always nice to meet coupe lovers old and new, and a decent turn-out for a pretty cold december morning.

some are not so anal/mad/vain as to get up and clean their cars at 5am in heavy frost though - you know who you are!!

Some more will follow when photobucket decides to work

good pics sam!

Another good one on my doorstep, plenty of regulars and some new people too

Just got back in, thanks to all for a good meet and fantastic to meet you all, cheers for organising it! Gem and I had a great day.

Nick

seriously nice car there bez, love the wheels

Hi Mr PorkyPaul
Thanks for organising another great event
dave

Great turn out was great to meet a lot of new faces. Thanks to everyone that came.

What a great morning, we really enjoyed meeting you all. Spa should be even better

Here is the video footage I took of the event - 10 minutes or so long though and I needed to cut it as it was larger.

Everyone's car was video'd at some point

Cheers guy's, great bunch of chaps - looking forward to the next one

> CLICK HERE <

great vid patch, great to meet you as well, nice to put a face to the name!

Great video. sorry i missed it but was too hung over from xmas party on saturday.

Great to meet everyone and have a look around the museum. Really enjoyed the trip out.
Just need a better internet connection now to watch the video.

Got back about 3 hours ago, sat down and went to sleep.

A really good meet and great to meet friends, both old and new.

Thanks for organising it Paul.

Just glad you enjoyed it Pete after coming all that way.

yeah great to see you pete, brilliant effort for an old bloke....

(kidding)

Sorry I couldn't make it people, had family visiting and couldn't really escape since they'd travelled 100 miles to see me.

Was nice to see everyone and meet some new people

Great turn out

Excellent photos by all and Patch for the video, although didn't even see him filming

Looks like a good turn out on a cold morning, also a good vid from patch. Did the subaru back fire wake you up mate

Lol, think it woke everyone up

Well that and a Mitsubishi firing shots as well

I almost pooped me pants on that first back fire - see me back track lol. The heat from the flames was something else too...

I wonder if my coop could do that?

Oh, Theresa, if you ever think about getting a job with less hours and more free weekends in the Midlands, give me a shout, I'll see what I can find for you

And I thought it was the airforce playing silly buggers with guns.

gutted i missed this,ended up changing a thermostat on a bmw..
patch you set out early!Sun was just rising!Good pics and vid guys

Cheers Patch, although I don't fancy working in the Midlands

I'm in North Wales and don't fancy commuting an hour or more for work I'm afraid. Takes me some effort to travel 5 miles that I do now

Cheers for a great meet guys,

Nice to put names to faces and meet you all.
Had a great time looking round the museum whilst Paul stood there ribbing my poor clapped out coop (like you can talk paul - looks like someone spilled a gay bar all over yours )
Mind you, not as bad as Robs pervblinds!

Cheers again folks,
well worth the 3 hour drive down there, and the FIVE hour drive back due to M60 closed down to a single lane

Guys and Paul - apologies once again as I could not make it unfortunately - It was way into the afternoon before my eldest had finished his footie and piano lesson......I will be there one day by hook or crook!

Some pics good pics http://www.midlandsbreakfastclub.co.uk/page5.htm

what a brilliant photo
