Hi all, I'll be there but not sure which car in. I may have a new one one by then.
Raised the rear entrance on the Alfa Forum and got a reply that the exotics only got in the good way because of ground clearance and not because of favouritism! Replied with a sarcastic comment stating hope no one has lowering sports springs then. Hey presto, no reply.
That entrance round the back is a good idea but the track/road needs work.
I think I'm getting grumpier as I get older.
Is anyone going to Tartan Tarmac at Eurocentral on the mate from 9.30am on 29th March?

I hope so, I've been a few times and not had a whiff of Sassenachism against me. (Yet)
Mind you, the turnout is dependent on the weather and I'll be in my Alfa Gt. If its no good its only a couple of miles up the road from Livi.
Reason I ask if anyone is going is I want another look around a good coupe as had one in the past and looking for a new toy, which will probably be a V6 GTV, but the Coupe does still turn my head.
Be nice to meet other Italian metal fans too before catching up in May at Carnie.
Have a good evening all.

Will advise when I get a reply.

Apologies for confusing two events. Promise, my last post here for the TT meet. If it's dry Sunday morning then I'll be there - the fat guy struggling to get out of a blue VX220. laugh Any hint of rain will result in a no-show.

Hi all, it was raining so didnt see you, but spoke to Alfa guys and they are asking same questions re entrance to Carnie in May. Lets see what happens as they were not too happy if having to go via the dirty lane again.

Now spoken to the organiser who is just back from holiday, and who has this same question from many others to put to Cairnie's at a meeting in the near future.

The outcome of the meeting between the owner of Cairnie's and members of clubs including SAROC regarding the entry resulted in the following, which those present found satisfactory:-

The owner promised to rectify all the points which were shown to him
The entrance and grassed area at the Café is once again being used by the Ferrari and Maserati and any seriously low cars, and is for their display All other cars will use the other entrance.

He has also agreed to level out all the road and entrances and put down hard core on the track.

Have we any more takers for this?

Having just put my car back on the road after a long spell SORN, it was always my intention to attend this meet.
I have been looking forward to being amongst fellow enthusiasts again, seeing old faces and new whist perhaps laying a few of my coupe paranoia issues aside at the same time.
I will be a definate show with my two boys and possibly another two (mmm 5 people/4 seats crazy ) but am undecided as to whether my car shall be left in the car park or not.
Having just about convinced myself my not so clean car was in fact not that bad (she's 18yrs after all) I put her in the garage to avoid damaging her whilst I moved some slabs round my drive.
You can imagine my shock when I pulled her back out to find 2 large fench post offcuts and a trolley wheel had come crashing down from the heavens, scratching the roof, door glass and rear quarter not to mention the three dents on the door skin, the worst of which being right on the angle at the top of the panel. An impossible repair unfortunately! shocked
I can always paint and fit a new door, but that won't happen before SICD, so am really not sure what to do. I suppose my pride is probably more dented than the door. rolleyes
Either way I am looking forward to a good day out!
And some clean cars..lol

Haha, leathers still gorgeous Ronnie, mostly due to the fact it's still out the car ...lol. Much easier to keep clean in the back bedroom!
Another job on the to-do list. If I'm honest, I believe I would rather be putting them in another (somewhat cleaner) coupe. Though mechanically, the one I have has always been good to me!
Was pretty mad realising that it had been 5 years since my last mot shocked

Hope your car is still going well and looking every part as good as it always did. Would be good to grab a catch up and a pie at one of these meets sometime. wink

Ok can we firm up for this please so I can give them an idea of the numbers?

1. Edinburgh
2. Dante Giocosa
3. ?Barney?
4. 20vtwhistle
5. ?poprock?
6. ?MADCoop?

We're asked to be there by 10.00 and it takes c.55 mins to get there from MacDonald's this side of the Forth Road Bridge where we meet before convoying to the event.

I reckon we leave there at 0915 and arrive 1010 smile

Route - I'm thinking A92, A91 to Cupar then head north to the Farm. Think it's shorter than the one we took last year.

Hi Simon,
I will be there but its going to be in the Alfa. I think some of that mob may meet up at Krispy Kreme at Hermiston Gait, I will drop a note on here nearer the day in anyone wants to tag along.
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.

Ok can we firm up for this please so I can give them an idea of the numbers?


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!
