Ha! I passed him again today in town and now its on Irish Plates. I think that makes it 5 or possibly 6 coupes in in my part of the Country.

Now this is a record!!!

Up until last week I had only ever passed 1 other coupe on the road in about 4 years. I live in an area where coupes are a rare as hen's teeth.

Last night on my way into town I passed a red coupe (think it was the one I passed last week too- see above post)and a minute later a Sprint Blue Coupe (might have been CollieD's coupe). Then I turned off the road to get to a local shop and I passed a parked up Silver 20VT and within a couple of hundred yards I passed a house with a Metallic red 20VT parked in the driveway (think that one belongs to gwoods).

So that's 4 coupes spotted in a 3-4 minute interval!!

Nice

Daithi,

yes that was me and I saw you coming too. Seen the pictures of your coupe at the Norin Iron meet. Yours looked well.

Who do you use for major services etc as I seriously need brakes looked at as ABS etc not working. Was thinking about the fiat garages in Drogheda. Ever used them?

We have to meet up soon.

CollieD

CollieD,

Only been to Drogheda to order parts. I use Damien Moran Motors on Hill Street in Dundalk for servicing. The guy is very genuine. He used to service my 16v n/a. He just did my turbo replacement. He likes my Coupe. He doesn't mince his words re: cars he doesn't like but I trust him 100%.

I need to go to him on Monday as all the coolant just pissed out of my engine this evening and I'm beached on my driveway!!!

Fiesta 1.25 for me on Monday me thinks!

Once coolant problem is fixed, def wanna meet up for a nosey of your Sprinty!!

Shame bout the coolant lad, hope it's fixed soon. Did you not only fit a new rad recently??

Quite the Spotting done there too...
4 coupes in as many minutes!! Gota be a record!!!

Yup the whole engine was fitted in April along with a pro-alloy rad. May it's just a hose that has come loose. I need to check it out.

BTW I still haven't fitted the shims!

Hi Daithi,

I used Damian before on my punto sporting. Maybe I will give him a shout.

I will be on holidays for a while now but when i get back will give you a shout.

Regards

Hope it's something minor in as far as it can ever be minor with a coupe...

Keep me posted.
G'luck.

Enjoy the holidays CollieD

Def give me a shout when you get back.

Thanks

Checked for coolant leaks. Didn't find one. But I've come across an oil leak at the back of the rocker cover area whilst checking pipes. Yippee, something else to fix

Garage can't fit me til Wed/Thursday so I'm back in the sisters old fiesta

Red Coupe yesterday evening heading to Dublin on the new bit of the M6 from Athlone.
I was heading to Athlone in my green van and flashed the lights

Yellow coupe,seen it in arond Greenogue industrial estate a few times and in Rathcoole,prob sameone

Red Coupe thurseday last,just outside Abbeyliex heading to Portlaoise on the N8. looked a minter
I was heading to South in my Combo van, flashed the lights.


I only ever meet a coupe when in the van......

I know what you mean !!
Yesterday while on the road bike on a club spin, I met that '97 Wine Coupe, I seen before, at the entrance of the new roundabout beside Orammore on the N18.

Luckily it was my turn up on the front, and I gave the owner a wave and she waved back
A friend of mine in the group spotted her too, and he knows her through his sister, so I'm going to get him to pass a fccuk card with the forum details to her.

I still didn't see if it was a V or VT

Ink Black 97 Kildare Reg this evening near the turn off for Adamstown.

I waved but you missed me!

A black LE on Polish plates in Galway city today, driving by the Cathedral.
Looked great too

that was me!! seen the van lights flash and spent the next few mins looking for Guards with a speed gun! LOL

Met Red (burgundy) 20VT possibly a plus in Drogheda, Co. Louth on Friday last 16th. Think it had Dub plates. Unfortunately I was in a Passat and not my LE so you sailed right by.

Seen a Scots Green '97, heading towards Carlow on the N80 yesterday. I waved at the driver, but I was in my green Pug van

Woo Hoo that was me.. lol. on my way to be wexford... Finally i have been spotted.. i vaugley remember someone waving to me.. So wave back! lol.. am from just outside carlow town.. ( laois side) .. still waiting to see one on the road.. the one person i did know who had one has sold it and bought an alfa gt.. mmmmmm but obviously not as nice as the coupe ahem ahem lol

Hi,

Yellow Coupe spotted coming out of Monaghan headin Castleblayney direction last week. (Thursday or Friday)

Anyone on here, give a flash of lights etc did not catch model etc.

CollieD

i saw 2 coupes parked off the naas rd near newlands,a sprint blue and a yellow one ,parked boot to boot so i guess the one household owns them .anyone from here ?

A '00 G reg, Electric Blue on the N17 heading into Tuam while I was going to Galway last Saturday.
I think it was the 20V I've seen around Tuam before, but this was the first time I've met it in my Coop.

Keep an eye out for my Mum up and down the roads of Sligo, Mayo, etc over the next couple of weeks
She's been there a week already.

In a Fiat Ducato motorhome, with British plates.

Give her a wave

It'll probably take her about 10 minutes to suddenly think ' I'm sure that's like Theresa's car', but give her a wave anyway

LOL my local patch, I'll keep an eye out !

Speaking of which my Mum was in London last week, she seen a green Coupe

Hi,

Just spotted a new coupe about. 00 LH electric blue in the town today. Keepin her nice and flat round a roundabout. Ha Ha.

Anyone on here. Looking forward to the meet this sunday. Hope you all can make it.

CollieD

Hi Colin,

The Leccy Blue (if it's the one with the PIU front bumper) belongs to a guy in Dromiskin (he also has a silver 20v turbo on a 98 D Reg which he doesn't appear to drive anymore).

He's not the forum afaik and he's never waved back to me on the road either. I was once parked right beside him in town, me in my old Blitz Blue 16v and he was sitting in his silver 20vt and he looked right through me!

Shame

Hi Daithi,

I remember the guy in his silver 20vt and it not about any more. The front bumber on this looked like a zender but it could of been a pui.

You headin sunday. Getting lowering springs in tomorrow and then ABS sorted friday I hope.

Regards

CollieD
