Lovely place Cheddars is, my brother has some pics he will post,

I had s lift home with DLT, Thanks a million!

That is the most aggressive car I have ever been in! Torque steering in 3rd in the hot is unthinkable, the way that makes progress feels like you imagine a Turbo Gallardo to feel like,

The bridge tolls, the tunnel sound check.... Epic

Thanks all, and sorry Dave, I meant round the roundabout, oops.

Glorious sunny day, tasty roast dinner, and a great drive through picturesque Cheddar Gorge, and some nice chilled "zider" drinking in the sun.

Thanks to Jon for organising the pub.

Thanks to Dave for the blast in that piece of Portofino savagery. Glad my back held out shocked

Nice to see some familiar faces, and some new ones!

A very enjoyable day today. Good to meet some new people and catch up with familiar faces.

Thanks to John for organising the meet, to Leighton for managing not to be sick in the passenger seat, and for the comments above about my coup.

@ Chrissy, I hope the tunnel vid came out ok laugh

Hey guys, I got some good shots, in particular, I jumped on DLTs coop rather quick, Dave, if you'd like the full res images let me know, and I'll give you my email address!

You can see the photos on my Flickr here;

Here's one of my random "hanging the phone out of the car" shots that actually came out ok.

Think this shows Truffle, followed by Robfow and then DC20VT...

Thoroughly enjoyable day out. It was good to see so many coupes together, though I've a fair bit to do to bring mine up to scratch!

Also a big thank you to everyone for making a newbie feel very welcome, you all seem like a great bunch.

Was definitely a great day out - sun came out eventually (though not where we were parked) and a couple of 'spirited' drives!

Good to meet up with people.

A few photos can be found here - Coupe Meeting reflecting the day out

Horsing around's a serious business.

Absolutely fab day out.Not had that much fun for ages and a great bunch of people too. Excellent location. Not been there for years and forgot how stunning it was.

The coups did sound superb through the gorge. We hope to mod the exhaust on our soon so we'll be able to make as much noise as DC!!!!!!

Special thanks from me, Andrew and Alex to DC for taking us for that rocket powered blast. I think that Lambo had a shock Dave. Ha.

Sorry we weren't there to say cheerio at the end but lets meet up again soon smile

I've taken some video which Alex has downloaded onto his laptop so we'll download the best bits very soon.

Has anyone had any thoughts on coming to Tredegar House on September 15?

Love to see a few FCs on show there!

Most welcome Jon and cheers for the comment. It was good fun! Nice to see you guys there in your own Coupe and I spent my lunch hour looking at Focus RSs - I was quite taken with it last time but now I've been in one well... the handling is fantastic.

Should be able to attend that show weather and holiday permitting. smile

Cheddar gorge looks like a great location for a meet. Is this a regular occurence?

Hi Luke

I'd very much like to get copies of your Cheddar Gorge meet pics, particularly as quite a few are of my tail end! laugh

If you guys PM me direct with your email, I'll get your photos across, sadly, I will only be offering small res pictures on Dave's Coupe, to stop people printing my stuff! Had trouble with people stealing images before!

Alas, here is Dave's coop on my other camera through the tunnel, only short guys.

U can try your hardest to act like your used to being a passenger in such a quick car... But in the end, camera or not the reaction is the same! F in E'll!!

Sad that the poor footage is no representation of how fast that car is,

P.s, all driven barefooted!

Quality DLT..
