My parents own an Italian restaurant in Bedford, now ive spoken to my old man about putting a coupe night on for the forum members, the max amount of people the downstairs can take is 50 people.

Now, if people want I can arrange a small set menu with a discount of course (Bob, answered your question already)

Now the menu will be starter, main and dessert and coffee Italian style!
Or
Just order off the normal menu!

We also cater for Celica’s.

So who would want to come down for a meet and great and some nice food! All are welcome!
Then after I was thinking of moving down to the Bedford River for a good photo opp…

So after a bit of interest I will look to plan a date for this!

Any questions please ask!

Che Idea!!!
Io Vengo!

Nice one Marco - any details as to location?

also Sedicivalvole, i have a 2nd resturant in northampton, its next to the multi plex (where the gala casion is) its the pizza place called Sorrentino's!
my uncle runs that one!

not sorting dates out till later so every one can relax, we will need a poll any way!

Oh really excellent, i'll pop past and name drop

A poll is a must for these things

lol i could imagine that...hi there,,i know Marco from the fiat coupe forum lol

i would expect a blank expression on his face lol

lol its amazing how many people go to my dads garage from here. . .

they start the conversation with

"Hi im a REALLY good friend of mario from the fiat coupe forum. . . "

lol 9/10 ive never spoken to them haha fishing for a discount i think....

oh Mario... you have PM!

Is your food better than Rio Bello? Four?

For my sins I have to stay in Bedford quite regularly so if it coincides I could come along, probably not with the Coupe though.

Well Cappo, if you want give me a call and let me know if you want to come down one night, i will make my self available to welcome you at the restaurant!

we are more of the old Italian style!

Could not comment about 4 and Rio Bello as ive never been there....

I was just pulling your leg Marco. My lot at work tend to use those two above because they're close to the office and to the hotels. Maybe I'll bring them to yours some time!

ok lol
please do bring them down Cappo!
shall i put you down for the night?

any more takers??

. . . ho fame!!!

Yeah, but *when*? I'm getting hungry.

Marco . . . . im also getting hungry

right guys, looks like not a lot of people are looking to come so im happy with what wever date you guys are cool with!!

so who can do what date?

After the fifteenth, pretty much any week night. I'm old and married, so have no social life.

Yes me to I am erm .... okay so not married but the rest fits

As a rule pref Tuesday/Friday but I am flexible!

ok so shall we set a date in stone then??
23/06/2009

every one ok with this??

Sounds good to me.

just waiting on the others.....

How we doin', folks?

And while we're at it, what time?

23rd works for me!

So are we on for tomorrow or it being moved back a little?

Confirmation would be nice!

sorry guys!

got to move the date due to my own issue's!what dates in July can we do?

I'm still pretty open.

Get well soon.

Same here. Lead and I shall complain, then follow.

right guys, any day this month is good for me!

(except monday the 6th!!)

so what day do we want to meet?

Okay then...

I am pretty busy this and the following two weekends.. However any Tuesday is a runner for me generally or a Friday...

Name one of them and I am good.

Have they finished with those road works yet Marco they must be causing a right scene outside.

which road works?? are you talking about amptill road leading to the A421?

If so then hell yer, there a right pain the the rectom!

Been past a few times, well go past 4 times a week twice either way on two days. Last few times had workmen out digging around just a few metres from the restaurant.

Will see on Thursday if they are about or not.

They do roadwork's so much better in Bedford than Northants!

Pick a day. Weekdays are fine, weekends more problematical.

ok so shall we go for.....a thursday again??

arr what the hell Thursday the 23rd yer??

It's as good a day as any!

Sorry to through the proverbial spanner in the works but Thursdays are no good for me always busy

Wednesday the 22nd?

I refer m'learned colleague to my previous reply.

so i will take that as a yes from Mr and Mrs Barnacle!

Good for us

Grr you guys are going to hate me

So I can do Tuesdays or Fridays

And no I am not deliberately being obstructive

right lol

Sedicialvole, you pick a day, i will make it work at the resturant!

Any Tuesday or Friday is good with me

On that basis (Tuesday & Friday) we could only do the 24th, although I suspect Fridays would be one of their busy nights.

Bob

i can arrange a friday night!

its not a problem guys!

give the other customers some thing to look at!!

Sounds like a good idea. I could be up for this, details dependant.

I can do pretty much any day for the next few weeks, it'll just determine whether it's just me or me with the missus.

so, Friday the 24th of July 09...

is that good with every one?

Actually guys I hate to say it but I can't make that Friday





Nah I am joking yes 24th works for me!

Yah.

guys.... im sorry....

24th is my mates b-day....cant make it!!

how about the monday 20th???

My word, and I thought the *brasilians* were bad at timing!

Fine by me... Mrs Barmybob would prefer the 22nd, I think.

I refer my friends to the above

LMAO,in fact Sedicivalvole, im leaving this to you, you pick a date please!

just not the 24th lol

i can sort any night out!!!

I see

Well then this is the deal for me.

Any Tuesday or Friday so I suggest Tuesday's are the best.

Is the 28th okay for everyone?

Nick

It's getting further and further away!

But I can do that one.

YES lol
the 28th is all good for me!

Okay then three so far... Bob?

Tuesday 28th looks fine for me and Mrs BB

28th is BOOKED!!!

is Mario coming?

Blow Mario - is *Marco* coming? He's the one that blew us out the last couple of times...

<grin, duck, run...>

haha Sadly i will be attending lol

28th! one week away!

May possibly be there if I get the car back in time to reassemble after its repaint.

thats cool,

i will do a count the day before and confirm people!

Come on people lets make sure we have a good turn out!

Bouncy bouncy!

Oh no thanks not after that extra Lemon Tarte and Ice Cream..

Can't we just hug?

wow, only 24 hours away!

any more takers??

How many have we got so far?

6 so far!!

(it was a quick count!)

I'm still doubtful: I don't get the car back until tonight/ tomorrow morning, and I will have several hours assembly to do.

Could you post an address and post code please for those of us who don't know where you are?

Come on Pete! I was looking forward to seeing you again

MK401QS

What time is the meet?

Shall we say ......7?

A shade later, perhaps? 7 for half past?

Sorry, I will not be able to make it. I simply will not have time to put it all together.

well 7.30 onwards, people can turn up at any time! we can look to sit down to eat at around 8.30 9ish if you want!

hope you can make it Pete!

I will be able to get to Bedford for 8.

Sorry best I can do to get back from London to Northampton then to Bedford

thats cool see you then!

bump , slam and a tickle!

any one else??

god i need to go home and clean my car!!!

I would've liked to come tonight. But I've been away on holiday for a couple of weeks and am now really snowed under with work/study so will have to give this a miss I'm afraid

Have fun everyone

no worries, if tonight is a sucess then there will be other meets at the resturant!

see you all tonight!

Don't clean your car Marco I haven't got time to do mine!

Ah might have to miss out. the Missus ate by mistake, so difficult to justify driving to bedford in the Mr2 to sit and watch other people eat.

We'll be leaving soon

See you there

Bob

We're coming but only on three wheels... grrr...

im leaving to go now, need to get a few things!

See you all there!

safe driving people!!!

I am heading out the door now!

Ho hum, who moved the road to the M1? Must have missed it, so we got to see the night life of Luton instead on the way past. Not that it slowed us down much, being as we only had three wheels... The A6 is nice and peaceful at night!

Hope every one is home safe and sound!! Hope every one had a good night!
Thanks again fir coming!

I thought that was a very good night certainly and enjoyable one.

Thank you Marco for playing host, you did a wonderful job.

Shame some people couldn't make it, but very good to see a few of you again.

for those who didnt make it, there will be another night coming soon...

this time only one date will be used and fingerscrossed one attempt of setting it up!!! lol

That is me cooked then

'twas a great night, can't wait for the next one

Bob

oh feel free to leave a review on the web site!!

wink wink nudge nudge!!!

Website down

grrr, leave it to me i shall fix it!
