Weekly Sheffield/Rotherham Meet

Hi All,

Met up with Tom (fiatcoupemad) earlier to try and get a free pizza and too late. Again.

Anyway, we had a chat about trying to sort a weekly get together in the Sheff/Roth area. Doesn't have to be any particular day, just a pub or eatery to have some snap and a few Cokes or whatever.

Seemed a good idea, especially as the weather is gradually getting better and the nights longer.

Anyone in the area fancy this?

yea im for this where would the venue be?

theres a gravel car park in penistone and pubs n chippys near

Excellent! I suppose the venue will be decided when we see how many want to attend. Maybe somewhere in the countryside would be a pleasant setting, especially on a summer evening. Bit like like a soppy novel... Seriously, open to suggestions, if any attendees want to suggest a spot. Or we could move around each week, all good to me.

Tom, Martin, Bosco? Any ideas?

Yeah. i'm in for that.
Probably good to do fortnightly??
Fox House?
Millstone nr Hathersage?
Old Post Office up near Barnsley?

Thats a few for starters!!

im up for this!! if car last that long

fox house is a goog one!!
that pub near lady bower cant think of the name at the mo!!

there a car park opposite i think

I could be persuaded maybe . . . .

Looking good. Where's the good weather gone?

Lol... August

Assuming I'm not at work (4 on 4 off) I could turn up, if its sunny and warm I'll not be in the coupe though.

Owt sorted yet? Be nice to meet some local coopsters for a chat, and there is some great roads up on Dales

Would love to come just a tad far for us Leeds Lads.
Perhaps a Meet somewhere in the middle?

Old Post Office?? Nr Barnsley??

Not sure of it. got a Post code?

i want o reserect this with a venue and not the old post office as they charge for use what about penistone nice pub leading to a nice big car park

my local venue and there are no chavs here either

be nice to meet my local crew and posibly some people who arnt so local

end of the month if anyone wants to come we can set a day for this

and did i mention there is a nice chippy

Sounds good. I don't tend to be on here very often at the mo, but I'll try to keep an eye on this and make an appearance.

Give us a postcode, i will see the distance
If theres gonna be a few good few i might attend.

my post code s36 6ap

I may be able to pop along on a school night.

Dead turbo mate. dont suppose you can help fit my new one in the next week or so.
Im weighing up my options at mo.

we all need to come up with a date and a place becuase this could be a good little meet
thanks tom

at the end of the month im having a BBQ and there is a pub 200 yards from my house aswel

sounds good but the coupe has gone but i have an alfa 166 so its thats still alright?
thanks
tom

still a fiat at heart and it still breaks down your welcome to come

all italian fiat owned car companys can come

anyone turns up in a lancia delta integrale you may find me and your keys missing

There is a small get together at my place for a BBQ next sat weather permiting

Its a Ausy theme bring your meat and slap it on BBQ, Safe parking just up the road from me in a carpark or if there is room behind my house which is private parking and both parking spots are ok for lowered coupes from personal testing

im up for this mate

1. sam

there are more coupes in this region now will be nice top have a meet.

Hi Steve, As always, put me down for this one...but only if you make me Sunday dinner after!

Guys, it looks like having started this thread, I've missed the updates. Working overtime from home today but I'll keep a better eye on this and attend next time.

I think a mid month meet is called for and i may make bacon sarnys as sam can vouch im a damn good cook lol.

all we need is a venue and i still pick my town penistone perfect car park out of the way and a pub lunch or fish n chips.

Sounds good count me in! Keeping a regular check on this thread now

end of the month maybe be nice to meet people before the AGM

count me in! im up for this

im thinking the last sunday of this month ill get a post code up

s36 6ar

Last Sunday of this month is bank holiday weekend - so perhaps not such a good choice? For example, I'm going to the Oulton Gold Cup that day...

hmmmm ill try to get a good date to suit all

any ideas welcome what about this sunday

working all weekend 9-5 but hoping to keep this one alive. Should be a bit more proud of mine soon, but sounds like all of a sudden I have another dodgy tensioner somewhere this morning... :-( Still looking forward to seeing some of the other locals.

Are there any meets still taking place around Sheffield? I wouldn't mind meeting up with some local, like minded people. Probably quiz you about a few niggles on the car too!

im interested in this too, im only in cheterfield so not far to come

my girlfriend lives in chezzie so i'd probably be interested in something near there

Would be intrested in a meet round here but no one seems to be able to agree on a time or place.

I'll keep checking you never know.

Apologies guys, having started this thread, it should be me I guess. Bust next Saturday and hopefully shall be down to Joe's possibly the following weekend, maybe, perhaps. It's a time of year when everyone's busy, would we be in agreement to get something organised for early in the New Year?

Sunday at Donnington seemd like real success having got to the pub, if anyone can make (fresh) suggestions as to a good venue in the general area, with a large car park and some good food for those who fancy it, it would be most welcome.

Sundays are a bit of a stumbling block for me Im afraid as I work 10 while 4. I would definately go out of my way for an evening or Saturday meet though, even if its just a pub meet after work on a week day, would be good to compare notes.

Plenty of pubs not far from me just on the outskirts of the Peak District with good sized car parks which might be suitable if its just for a couple of hours?

Its a shame that the car museum at Batley(?) has closed as that might have been a good venue.

I shall of course be at Le Mans next year if any of you guys are going?

I'll keep my eyes on this now... Need to come to summat soon!!
Put faces to names etc.

im really up for this so if you fancy it there is a pub about a mile away from the bypass that leads from chesterfield to sheffield. the pub is at the chesterfield end its called the trading post and the car park is massive, so is the pub. if your interested leave a post and we can sort it out.

see? i just love the regional uses of language. 10 while 4 of course meaning 10 until 4....

being a brummie i'm allowed to comment on this, as we speak the purest form of the language.....

sats or sundays, for me, are ok if its a weekend i dont have my kids....nice one hamish!!

I'd be up for that niff. Any ideas suggestions for a time or date?

Proccy, I think its down the bypass and then take your first "roight"!

Anything near the bypass is fine with me, it's only a blat away. I'm round a mate's for the boxing on Saturday night, bird's working Saturday 'while' 5, but she won't be fussed, Sunday as far as I know is good.

Does the Trading Post do food or at least snack-based products? And lights in the car-park should we agree on an evening?

OK, let's see how we are then, stick a name below where is best for yourselves (this is for this coming weekend, 12th and 13th of Dec) and we'll see where end up :

Saturday

Feeblebob (day or evening)

Sunday

Feeblebob (day or evening)

you're learning x19, you'll be alroight bab

@feeblebob - i thought you were coming to cosford this sunday?

FYI, Saturday looks OK in Ches-vegas, cloudy but sunny bits, coldish but very light wind, so sounds OK.

'The weekend looks like staying dry, and bright or sunny but cold'. Big jackets out then.

John Kettley signing off....

Ah, knew there was something... Heads all over the place at the moment. OK, rethink. Definitely not wanting to step on porkypauls toes here, so scrap this Sunday, register interest for this Saturday or next weekend (and then wait for me to realise I've something on then, too...)

This Saturday

Feeblebob (day/eve)

Next Saturday

Feeblebob (day/eve)

Next Sunday

Feeblebob (day/eve)

If there is any interest in this, I'll start a new thread with the more appropriate title 'Christmas/New Year South Yorkshire Meet', as I've tried to above and failed... :-)

Should make it more recogonisable.

unfortunately i cant make any of those hamish - i'm at the mighty blues saturday, cosford sunday and then my kids all next weekend.....sorry

No bother, chap, the impending sound of tumbleweed means it looks like early in the New Year might be better anyway...

Xmas isn't the nest time I guess, not for last minutish plans.

I can make Saturday evening or Sunday evening this weekend but in fairness it will probably be better all round to organise something in early January after everyone has got Xmas out of the way? Hopefully make for better attendence too.

Yeah, that's the plan, watch this space... :-)

any day is ok with me and the car park for the trading post is well lit and they serve food all day till late.

Can make any Sunday and some Saturdays in the New Year at the Trading Post.

Just needed to get Christmas out the way!

we will have to sort something out for new year then, any ideas of dates?

Any day when its a damn sight warmer than today is fine by me

If its a Sunday I should be able to make it to Chesterfield/most places in the area by 4pm if anyone is still lingering about!

any folk still interested in this once the snow F#*KS OFF. trading post chesterfield location

yes lol, under exactly those conditions!!

you'll have to gimme the address/post code for it

i can make 23rd/24th jan, or fortnightly afterwards

any dates are fine by me, just have to see what other people think so everyone feel free to leave suggestions.....

Im still up for this, any dates fine by me except Sundays unless after 4pm as previously stated.

Might be a while until the snow eases though!

i want a meet up my way im upp for a sheff/roth meet if it actually goes ahead this time i have a perfect venue where i live but im happy to travel

well i dont mind traveling so where is this venue GT_SEBO.

sounds ok to me, i don't mind where really although i understand penistone is near reservoirs and a viaduct....

the trading post at chezzie then, wasn't that called something else before? do you have it's addy please?

it was called the old house i think, this is the address

Olde House Trading Post
Loundsley Green Road , Newbold, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, United Kingdom, S40 4RN

cheers niff

I'm good for most weekends, 23rd OK but out in the evening so will need to be late morning/lunch, 24th at Mallory Park (thought you were nipping down there too, Steve...), apart from that, not got a lot on. Chesterfield no probs, but don't know the area. I'm sure someone at work will know it though.

I will be up for a meet! The pub in chesvegas is only 5 mins from my house nice!

yeah i expect to, weather permitting....

Ok, how would everyone be for Saturday 23rd lunchtime/early afternoon? We can agree a location nearer the time but looking to put a date forward. Hopefully the snow will have effed off by then...

Seems sensible to arrange for lunchtimeish anyway at this time of year, with the cold dark nights etc.

I'm good for anywhere round Rotherham/Sheffield/Chesterfield area, and I haven't lived down here for all that long so I'm happy to be guided as to a good venue.

As ana side, I'm good for pretty much any weekend after the weekend of the 23rd/24th, but let's see if we can get a date nailed on.

the 23rd is fine by me, the location at the trading post/ olde house is a good location, big car park, 2 mile off the dronfield bypass and a good pub too. if we meet there for this one maybe we could arrange a different location for future meets if people want.

sounds good to me too

Sounds like a goer then, guys. Sign up, sign up!

Like Niff says, can do this venue this time and another the next etc. This means I'm going to have to come down the Dronfield by-pass this time, oh no... ;-)

Looking at the 23rd lunchtime-ish. No other purpose to the meet than a get together, chat and some snap.

Attendees :

1) Feeblebob
2) Niff
3) Proccy

Not the Dronfield by-pass? Come on guys!!!

Just a heads up though, watch out for the BIB on the road from Gleadless to Norton and in particular when going just past the old Moathouse hotel (Park Hotel??) between Norton and Dronfield.

1) Feeblebob
2) Niff
3) Proccy
4) X19 Pilot

Any suggestions for a time?

Cheers pilot, nice one. Any more takers? I'm guessing the others will check in over the next week. Looking forward to it!

is proccy still doing this one, i herd that his coop had shredded another belt on him.

1) Feeblebob
2) Niff
3) Proccy
4) X19 Pilot
5) Bert1ne

this is true i'm afraid, so if the meet is anytime soon you'll have to count me out i'm sorry

Sorry to hear that proccy, hope you get her fixed for the next one.

Have you had it looked at yet? Hope its not done too much damage.

ill see if the mrs lets me attend only 30 miles away

Gives you chance to warm the car up properly!

Have we got a time yet guys? I'll propose midday to kick thing off???

am i the youngest coupester there

Don't worry, I'll buy you a shandy if you cant get served!

lol @ GT, don't worry chap, I don't think anyone on the whole forum feels over 21!

Midday sounds good with me, everyone attending OK with 12.00?

IF i can get the kids up and IF my battery starts the car i MIGHT be there......

damn she's driving well...

12 sounds good to me.

Anyone got an alarm clock and some jump leads for proccy?

Just to reiterate.... remember the on the stretch from Gleadless to Bowshaw guys!

Just found it on Google Maps even for me, that's easy to find, will be setting off about 11am I reckon, see you there, guys.

Proccy, get that car over, we want to see it run again!

well it seems im coming so ill be ther about 12ish

Got my dates wrong... Thought 23rd was tomorrow!!!! Ggggrrrrrrr.

No problem, Bertine, see you at the next one

Good little meet that guys, enjoyed it, more new faces, and Gassy's 20vt Tipo was something else, great job mate.

Good to see proccys beauty back on the road too

it was a very good meet proper enjoyed it.

i thought i would mention proccy i got a strong smell of oil and petrol and blue smoke from your exhaust when following you.

We have to do this again soon i may have a venue at my local pub the rose and crown

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&hs=jmh&resnum=0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=rose+%26+crown+penistone&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=rose+%26+crown&hnear=penistone&cid=4776017376277822402

Burning a bit of old oil off from the head rebuild? Goes without saying, fingers well and truly crossed

We'll definitely have to do it again, maybe some of the other locals will be able to make it too

And bert1ne can get his dates right, hee, hee

Nice to meet you guys, enjoyed it.

+1 for the Tipo too, great job.

See you at another one too soon, at least I know where Im going now!

Come away with a few ideas too...

hope so - really hope so. i noticed some blue smoke for a couple of miles but was ok at mega speeds on a38, checked oil when i got back and wasn't too bad.

now where's that piece of wood?


good meet boys and, as Hamish says, that tipo of gassy's was excellent. small meet but perfectly formed..

Missed it !!!

A combination of not checking the thread, working, running the daughter to ballet rehersals has meant I missed out on what would have been my very first coupe meet.

Still, I'll do my level best to get to the next one!

Thankyou for the comments on the tipo first time ive been to a meet anywhere and look forward to more in the future was nice to meet you all will bring my coupe when tipo is out of tax

oh no

this is my first time venturing into this part of the forum and theres a meet literally on my door step!

now the coupe is fixed i can actually go places in her

Those who missed it, we'll see you next time

Seems a lot of the locals missed this one, keep an eye peeled for the next one, I reckon a bit of a pub lunch will be in order. I'll make a note sometime of everyone who's posted on this thread at one time or another and PM when we get the next one arranged, I must admit I tend to miss meets on here, or tend not to look very closely and find they were just down the road etc.

Have to say it sounded good when everyone fired them up to go, all that rumbling idle

Will look at putting up a date for sometime next month, watch this space...

Proccy, I'll give you an adjusted time so that you can turn up last

in which case, count me in!!

i was rather hoping we'd have a beer yesterday (or coke) as it was freezing on that car park for 2 hours

Lunch and a sounds good.

A warmer day too if someone can sort that out?

BTW proccy the exhaust and the turbo spool noise were just pure ecstacy loverly tone

cheers matey, nice to know some of the money wasn't wasted

Yeah, we should have nipped in for a 'waaaarm'. My feet didn't warm up for hours afterwards. We'll seek warmer surroundings next time

my local pub is just the trick

sorry i missed this 1 not been on the forum in a few week as i went away, gutted to miss it

It was on your doorstep too mate, now your gonna have to o up the Dronny bypass to Rotherham for the next one.... Shame!

Any thoughts on the next one guys?

i dont mind goin up the dronny bypass because i get to have some fun coming back down it the coop should handle a bit batter too now as today i have changed the wishbones, droplinks and track rod ends, what a difference it has made.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&hs=jmh&resnum=0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=rose+%26+crown+penistone&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=rose+%26+crown&hnear=penistone&cid=4776017376277822402

has a nice car park and serve food

Thats twice in a row... as soon as a meeting is mentioned, it starts snowing!

Sebo, I hope you are going to sort some nice weather out at the pub!

dont move it. olde house is right by me lol

i can't seem to get that link to work....when are we considering this meet? and why don't some of you get yer asses to cosford this sunday for 9am, it's a good midlands meet with bacon butties, coffee the lot - and patch is bringing his recorder for a growl-off.....

this is better and is just off the m1 http://www.tobycarvery.co.uk/find-a-toby/Thedodworthvalley.html good food and cheap ale

and im working this saturday

yeah well cosford's sunday

I'm in sheff this weekend... Anything happening??

I could run to a meet on Saturday for an hour or two around lunchtime is there we can organise it at short notice?

I'm game!! Will be around Crookes area,and the snake pass is around the corner ;-)

Might be able to make Saturday too, but no promises...

Not a good weather forecast IIRC for Saturday, sleet in S60.

i can make sunday i think

i should be able to make this as long as the coop does not fall to bits on me again.

Just a few hundred yards from me then! Any good at changing the coolant?

Cant make Sunday, sorry.

I can manage this weekend.

I don't see any reason why I can't make this weekend either, apart from being seriously brassed off about not getting my overtime paid this month. Grrrr. But anyway, not an issue.

The bird's off as well actually, I could bring her along so if anyone needs any washing or ironing doing....

I'm quite happy with the same place as last time FWIW, nice place, big car park, and as Proccy hinted, I'm sure it's lovely inside...could do without the wedding cr@p though .

Anybody else fancy the Olde House, or whatever it's called, Sat or Sun?

i can do this sat or sun at the old house, the coop has been at jonnybravo's having some work done so she wont fall to bits for this one driving like a dream once again!

i cant do this weekend cos im fitting the new suspension and its a huge job for a girl!

i think i'll end up breaking something too =/

and those nails are expensive, ooooooooooooo

Kaylorz are you the one i keep seeing knocking around chesterfield and bolsover in your yellow coop, does it have black alloys?

Yes thats me!

i live in Bolsover. are you the silver one i see all the time? lol

yeah, you will mostly see me in my silver 20v na, i have a silver turbo aswel but its stuck in the garage at the mo as it needs some TLC lol. Theres never money to keep them both running sweet lol.

so people any news about a meet this sunday???

i just might be available for this

any more takers??

won't be available now, as the car is on yet another AA trailer on the way back to it's spiritual and general home, motormech....

failed fuel pump....

unlucky mate sorry to hear that.

cheers niff - as someone once said, if it wasn't for bad luck i'd have none at all...

nobody really seems that bothered about havin a meet tomorrow so i think ill get up early and go for a steady blast in the dales , saying that ill end up waking up about dinner time, having breakfast then end up asleep again

well ive just woke up to find about a foot of snow So thats the blast in the dales out the window Back to bed i think.

Sorry I've not posted on here guys, not been a good time recently (Coops OK, though). Sunday would've been out anyway with weather and Saturday I had something put on me, shall continue to keep a check on here though.

yeah i must say snow did spoil my plans.... Lol

so guys and gals, any ideas of a date for another meet, snow has gone and hopefully is not going to come back!

Im in the process of sorting a new clutch out, so I won't be making a meet until its sorted, but I will be up for a Saturday or weekday evening meet (when clocks go froward) sometime in April?

Well im ok for then too... Obviously mothers day nest sunday.. so forced outing there
Then following sunday im at the fast show at santa pod.
And following saturday im playing air soft combat all day.. lol

Coupe is at the doctors for an unspecified period of time due to epic MOT failure!

as for april, the last weekend of april im at pod for big bang i think. and the saturday after that... well its may for a start but its brooklands

I'm just plain fed up at the moment, scratched my front OS corner last weekend and miffed about that, as well as other stuff outside of 'Coupe World', so I'll check here in a month or so to see if anyone's up for owt. No promises though Seems like the South Yorkshire contingent are either busy or immobile at the moment.

i would to put my woe's up both front wheel bearings are fubar and jelly would do a better job and both rear swing arm bushes are also shot so braking and cornering is a job for a stunt man

kaylorz i guess thats where i spotted your coop outside the petrol station an garage in bolsover, hope she gets sorted

I'm still around.
Coupe still in the land of the living!!

so are we goin to sort somethin for some time soon then ???

Just dropped mine off for new belts and clutch so I should be back in play after the weekend!

this might be good for everyone

http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138017

looks good SEBO only problem is ill be in my 20v na and not the turbo, she wont be back on the road till around may.

No meets for me for a while untill i get my new engine fitted, the coop is killing my funds at the min lol.

Whens the next meet peeps the sun is here

im up and running again now, are none of you coming to the chatsworth rally meet next weekend, should be a good one

i was going come up niff, but have my kids that weekend and i doubt they'd appreciate standing round watching me drink and talking to folks about coops all day.....shame though

i'll come to the chezvegas ones after Spa, can't really afford it until then

look forward to seeing your coop proccy, she looks stunning from the pic.

cheers mate - you'll never see better on the back of an AA low-loader

ha ha

Think ill have to drag myself to one of these as im not that far away.

Whens the next one?

Anyone still interested?

i'll be interested in a meet if anyone's still up for it

Bump!



She's a fine looking beast! The Coops not bad either!

Im off radar for a few more weeks yet but I will be up for a meet in.... Spring!?!

I'm definitely up for a local meet as I never seem to have the time to travel to ones further away.

Be good to see a few of the locals!

if it falls on a weekend i don't have the kids i'll come up too, if that's ok? be a nice drive from burton on trent
