I was coming home from Nottingham on the A60 last night, about 6.15pm, saw a car coming the opposite way, turning right towards Plumtree. Thought "those lights look nice, wonder what car they're attached to" then realised it was a coop as I drove past (it was getting dark so didn't see it properly until I was driving past)

Think it was sprint blue and had a honeycombe grill but I didn't catch the reg. So anybody on here head towards Plumtree off the A60 last night? I was in a red T reg

Another one for me! This was on Ashby Road, Loughborough, just going past the Uni

I'd just driven past a nice Ferrari F360 then spotted a Moon Grey X reg Coop coming the opposite way to me. Gave the driver a nod (I was in my red T reg).

Never seen a Moon Grey in the "flesh". Looked gorgeous

That's 4 I've seen in Loughborough, not including mine

Re: East Midlands - 15/03/2006 03:54

ANOTHER one in Loughborough! I pulled up the lights on Ashby Road at 8.15pm and you were opposite me. You were in a Portofino blue (or at least that's what colour it looked under the stree lights) in the left lane, I was in a red T reg in the right lane. Didn't even notice you until the lights changed (I was driving into town for a blind date so I was nervous and not my usual self, checking out other cars etc!). You went left onto epinal way, I went right.

Don't know if it was a Turbo or N/A but it was a private plate starting BZR or BRZ

I think Loughborough people must have seen me driving in my coop and thought "I want one of those", such is the popularity of them round town at the moment!

Re: East Midlands - 24/03/2006 16:28

Driving back from Melton Mowbray to Loughborough sort of direction, saw the dark red N/A I mentioned above. It was going very fast so I though it was a turbo at first. I dropped down to 3rd, booted it and pulled along side. I then notice a lorry coming towards me in the opposite direction (this was a single carriage road) and realise I need to pull in front of the other coop. I gesticulate wildly and beep at the other driver to let me in the gap. She does. We all live. At the end of the road where it goes right towards nottingham on the A60 I indicate to go left towards coates mill. The other driver is going right and pulls next to me, winds her window down and shouts something at me

Funny thing is, this was all a dream. A very scary, vivid and probably very sad dream!

Loughborough's towns folk have obviously got more class than I'd previously given them credit for what with the numbers rising daily it seems

I'll keep an eye out for you!

My dad used to run the car place opposite Loughborough Hospital (I take it you don't mean the old one in town but the one off Epinal Way) and I was down there quite a lot. Obviously somebody saw my car parked up on the forcourt and copied me

Oh, I just noticed what site you run as well, Dan. I was on there earlier trying to find stuff to get a contact service 8310 working! Did you used to go on the BST forum for mobile phone trade? You may have seen me on there if you did (my user name is robert_glyn_lee and my site is www.formymobile.co.uk).

Looks like Loughborough's mobile phone entrepreneurs have good taste in cars!

My coop was parked nearby but you might have seen me as you left (I was standing on the side of the road in blue shorts and football top looking very hot & knackered! It was worth it though. My team won 9-5, I scored a hat trick from defence and got man of the match too)

How embarrassing. Hope you didn't notice my lovely unpainted passenger side sill? Painted the driver's side one black about 6 weeks ago but still haven't got round to the other side yet!

And my wheels! The car wasn't that dirty but I clean the alloys once in a blue moon so they're always covered in brake dust

Oh the shame!

I live on Abberton Way (just round the corner) and saw it when my mate picked me up. Wanted to go back and have a look but when we got back we saw you heading towards the M1. Think you had aftermarket alloys but couldn't tell what as the car was moving but looked like the ones on the car in this thread: http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/showflat.php?...=true#Post38971

If it was something like that then I would love to know where you got them from

And if you live locally (never seen the car parked there before so I presume you were visiting somebody), I would love to have a look at a Plus in the flesh!

I've finally spotted a forumer! I saw your car in my periphery vision and, like always with the coupe, though "that looks a nice shape, wonder what it is" before realising, usually too late, that it's a Coupe. Luckily I already had my arm dangling out the window so a wave was made easy.

Gave my car the full meguiars treatment last weekend so, for once, I'm not ashamed of how it was looking!

Passed a Portofino Blue parked in a layby going West on the A14 this morning at about 9.30. Reg S688 ___.

Driver was on the phone, and I was in my brothers MGF because my Portofino blue is in the hospital for sick coops so didn't bother waving

Hope you hadn't broken down !

Yep. That picture looks like the one !

Unfortunately, seeing yours has just made me more distressed that mine's still out of action. It's been in the garage for 5 days now and no sign of recovery. I guess I'm lucky I've got myself a topless model to play with whilst it's being fixed, but I'd still rather have it back!

Hope yours doesn't boil water as fast as mine does !

Oh - What I'd give just to have broken aircon

It's been 7 Days off the road now. I'm hoping that a new radiator bottle filler cap and cooling fan motor might save me, but beginning to lose hope

If I ever get my Fiat Kettle back, I'll stop next time and assist with any necessary spider removals

Our Moon Grey Plus was in the Fosse Park/Meridian area Monday morning and yesterday .. I guess no-one saw it?

Some lucky early evening drivers got to see two of what I still think are the best looking cars around, go past them in formation. Having said that, after eight years of ownership, I have been thinking of getting an Alfa GT or 147 GTA (don't tell anyone on here). ;\)

Then on the Wellingborough road pulled up alongside.

Looks nice from what I saw, anyone want to own up?

20 VT Plus? today, early pm driving between Long Eaton and Toton. Followed this beauty for about 2 miles in my metallic red W reg. 20VT Plus. The car in question was in silver and must have been one of the last as it was on a Y plate. Would like to know what wheels were fitted as they shimmered in the sunlight as the car turned left towards Toton. Apart from this one I recall only ever seeing another Plus locally and that one was in metallic blue, electric I think.

engine wise pretty good thanks, still very rapid and gives loads of enjoyment. alarm has bust so will get that done, and some cabbage drove into my drivers door and wing and of course left no note.... \:mad\:

so i have that repair to look forward to, then need to think about belts, wishbones and some sundry items..

hope to see you at a meet this summer, i'm going to have plenty of time... \:D

Re: East Midlands - 24/03/2008 18:09

Well hopefully Ill make it to a few more meets this year - what with buying the house last year most of the last 9 months or so has involved working on the place \:o

Not good about the wing and door though - why people cant be polite enough to leave details is beyond me, although those with no insurance really p*ss me off (bad experience with my previous car and an uninsured cretin!) \:mad\:

Nevertheless, assuming the weather keeps up Ill be at Stanford Hall this year, and any meets that occur. Plus i need to get the Coupe Rolling Roaded again after my service, to check if all the effort has finally sorted out the running lean issue...

Picking up my Thundercrawl Granada in Thetford last Sunday I was surprised to see two coupes on the same street.
Portofino blue and a dark metallic blue (don't know the colour name) on aftermarket alloys with a for sale sign in the window.
Both on St. Martin's Way.

Was that you about six cars in front of me on thursday morning about 8.15am going past mc donalds in shelthorp? I couldnt catch up due to the traffic! it looked like you it was black with le kit & im sure they were azev's. You need to look in your mirrors more as ive had 2 weeks of trouble free motoring in the coupster so it could let me down at any time now (lol)

This is not a recent one.

Before I was even looking for a Coupe I always used to take a detour down Wintersdale Road in Leicester (just off A47 - Uppingham road side) because there used to be a house with two Coupes (one was a sprint). Haven't seen them for about a year now. Anyone from Leicester know who it is?

My girlfriend used to annoyed with me slowing down to a crawl to have a gaup \:\)

Nice to share the A38 with you Proccy!

Caught you flashing in my rear view mirror, nice acknowledgement as you went up the sliproad too.

You were attempting to make even better time but getting held up? wink

I do that journey every day around that time-ish, haven't seen a Coupe for ages.

Love the Coupe community spirit! Nice shades too cool

Two spotted on my way back from Skegness (not sure that counts as East Midlands but according to the Met Office Website, its is (Mods feel free to move this if I'm utterly wrong...! rolleyes )).

Yellow one in Boston, gave me a wave but due to fatigue and getting jovial earache from the missus about waving i only managed a nod... irked

Then a black one about half an hour later, no idea where (knackered by this point, would have been about 7pm though). No nod flash or wave from this one though... frown

For the record though; take the right route back from Skegness and theres some marvellous driving roads on the way home (A17 i think) driving

Silver 20v on Kingsway roundabout Derby (by the Kings Highway pub) yesterday lunchtime.

Didnt flash as was going right at a busy roundabout...likely to get someone pull out on me (and to be honest, they dont need much promtping to do it there..!)

Rosso or Speed Red, heading north on the A1 late last night (11pm ish) in the Notts / South Yorks area. Sorry this is a bit vague but I was on auto-pilot in my rep mobile and had been driving for most of the day so may have even been hallucinating zzz. Must say your speed was impressive in the dodgy conditions snowman.

Knew I'd seen it somewhere, this was the ad for it...the Scotts Green one I saw on Saturday night.

1997 Scotts Green 20VT on 69k miles (mine since 2007)
- serviced by Paul at Motormech
- resprayed at Euroeast Paintshop 2008 (£1800)
- cambelt/belts/filters/plugs etc replaced August 2008
- 6 point paddle clutch £552
- drilled/grooved discs & new pads £370
- rear LEDs £300
- greddy EBC £200
- Walbro fuel pump £75
- GTiR Turbo £624
- HID main & dipped £200
- Zender kit £312
- Bilstein/Eibachs £490
- Blueflame exhaust with sports cat £560
- Pro-Alloy FMIC £487
- Porsche cup alloys with 245 rear, 225 front £1750
- Pioneer reference hi-fi £2500

Bad bits: needs MOT which I'll sort as wont be an issue & the turbo is starting to smoke. Thats it though.
Euroeast in Burntwood, near Lichfield. The firm has been running for 25 years this year, so he's obviously doing something right.
John did my car after another bodyshop completely screwed a respray. I've also had two of my previous cars and two of the wife's cars worked on there.
he's done another half a dozen Coupes since mine - one of which won its class at the Auto Italia concours last year
Mine will be going back this year to have the arches sorted (its done 50,000 miles since the respray and the road salt has taken its toll)

It was me in the White coupe! Reg N30ASE....(pics recently in styling pics only)
Wow that was fun but boy did I not expect to read that on here!
Chris how come you had the mclaren? and how come if its yours why are you on fccuk?
What a beauty in black. It looked so menacing coming off the sliproad onto the m1!
I had been to the mclaren garage in london earlier aswell, so big coincidence! even my mrs was interested.
I thought as it was so dark without the lighting on that section of the m1 it was a gallardo briefly then I thought no aston ( fancied chances ) but then when I saw the car nearer I was like 'nooo way MCLAREN'. Wow
Nice to here someone in a car like that still appreciate a lowly coupe top notch.

Hi Troy,

I wish it WAS mine ... I'm afraid I'm just a lowly Coupe owner too ! It was my friends McLaren - he was taking me out for a blast. What an amazing car - such a great noise and SO quick !

Loved your Coupe - we saw it up ahead and I said to my mate "it'll do my street cred no end of good if you blast past him at high revs" ! Glad it was appreciated !!

A. If it really was mine (short sighted, so can't be sure....!)
B. How i could get it back one day. If only....

I've seen you all of once since i sold it, however working in Derby means I'm not in Burton so much. And i drive a dull Ford Focus now, so theres no chance you would recognise me..! However, if you a bloke in a green MG Midget tearing round Burton - that's probably me..... laugh

Well according to Wikipedia some of Silverstone is in the East Midlands. A bit of cheek as I spotted myself, but still thought someone might be interested that after getting more involved in the engine rebuild 'Plank' is back on track with sensible oil pressure. I found the following picture:

Great to see these superb cars awakening from their winter slumber.
