Sorry I havent bought a coupe. I am 99% certain its going to be a V6 GTV.
I hope you dont all mind if I stick around on here as I am positive I will have a Plus in the future To match the GTV.
Thanks chaps.
Russ.


Yep, no worries Russ, look forward to meeting you there - mind and come and look us out, they stuck us on the side of the field last time!

I’m not planning to go along. If I do it’ll just be for a couple of hours and I’ll park with the public. (Got a lot on that weekend!)

Simon, I'll definitely be along on the day and having decided I'm allergic to walking, will swallow my pride and park up with the other coupes in attendance. wink
Looking forward to seeing the Bumble Bee again, it's been a few years since I first (and last) saw her at Hopetoun.
Hope we get a dry day for it.

Iain.

Hopefully be able to make it, not sure if I'll get the coop back on the road by then, but will try. Just needs a few bits n bobs done. I've done the clutch and timing belt, engine runs up nice, but she's not moved for well over a year.

Only a week to go!

D.G. and myself will probably convoy from south Edinburgh and meet up with anyone else around 0900 on Sunday at South Queenferry MacDonald's for off at 0915.

Otherwise see you there even if we are outnumbered smile

The organisers want all Italian Cars to be there by !0.00 so we'll aim to leave South Queensferry at 0905 driving

I was intending to tag along with you guys if you didn't mind not in a Fiat Coupe though but a car that shares the same engine as the first coupe. Unfortunately I'm not going to get the clutch slave cylinder replaced in time frown
I'll still be heading over though in something not very Italian so will hopefully see all the Italian exotica and maybe meet some of you there.

Good effort Rich smile

It may be too early for you to join the "convoy" as we'll be leaving South Queensferry about 5 past nine, otherwise we'll see you at the event smile

Looking forwards to see you all, and as always a catch up Simon thumb

coops currently out of both tax and test unfortunately, so i'll be coming up in the punto, unsure if I'll make the convoy, so don't wait. But see you all there either way.

Tomorrow then! smile

Good man Ang!

Just heard there's a BBQ and snacks for outside as well as a full offering in the farm shop from 10-5 - not as good as MezzaLuna but hey one gets peckish after driving

Good to see you again Simon and nice to meet you Derek and Ang. Was a shame there wasn't more coops there. Definitely becoming a rarity now.
Hope you all had a good day.
Russ.

Thanks Russ, sorry I didn't seem to get a chance for a natter with all the vocals that were going on laugh
Yes 3 coops was pretty meagre but the whole event on the bright side was much more organised this year with some stalls and play areas for kids. Best thing about it for me was catching up with familiar faces even if now coop-less, Steamer, Angelo, Baz 4205, Duffy, Rita and Jimmy (who bought Duffy's resto coop and now passed it on), not to mention diehards Dante Giacosa and MADCooP who's at last got his running after 2 years!

A few pics to follow ...

It's true yes, but it was a better event than last year I think, despite the small showing on our front
And the best bit? Once I'd put the 20v (VIS to you guys) back in the garage and had a look at it later- the ABS light had gone off! 😛

How 'asap' do you think that was? Had it been there a while?

Well we didn't see it on the way up, so I guess not!

Funny thing was MADCooP and I were just discussing that coupe and I think he knows the present owner. Sparkyman did a lot of great work on it and the thought of it biting the dust was not a good one!
