Would bring my Orange 20v along if it wasnt 120 miles away, its in fairly good condition

So here's the list so far:

Pondman - Vinci Grey LE 20vt
MrT - Electric Blue Plus 20vt
Samsite999 - Yellow 20vt with LE kit + gloss black roof (Custom)
Petep - Yellow 16VT (Custom)
duncan78 - Moon Grey Plus 20vt (awaiting consent )
jonjefferyes - Blitz Blue 16v

Thanks for all considerations of coming I realise this is a long way for some people and I do appriciate that some already offering to participate will be traveling a fair distance to this meet, we hope that the weather will do us all a favour
It seems to me though that the Coupe is thinner on the ground down in this area than most all the more reason to show people what they're missing Thanks for all thoughts so far, Ross.

Apart from the distance, I've slightly knobbled the front corner of mine, and although not earth-shatteringly bad, it needs doing before I could call it it show-worthy

Is this all we can muster out of the whole southern sector

Come on Guys! Lets see some more people represent the club!

Ooh, I'm down the bank holiday weekend, my folks live in Worthing so a short jaunt up. Drivers side door has a light scratch on it right now, unlikely to be fixed before then, but other than that she's in good shape. Do you want us?




I'll bring the wax down wth me if you can live with the scratch, which may come out a bit after a good wax anyway. Let me know

Dan, 20vt Portofino Blue

My Parents live in Worthing too, fancy joining up for a little convoy (of 2 ) ?

Yeah, why not! Will sort out details nearer the time, not sure if my other half will be with me that weekend, if she is, I'll probably be staying in a hotel But can meet somewhere on the coast and convoy up to Horsham.

So here's the list so far:

Pondman - Vinci Grey LE 20vt
MrT - Electric Blue Plus 20vt
Samsite999 - Yellow 20vt (Custom)
Petep - Yellow 16VT (Custom)
jonjefferyes - Blitz Blue 16v
Hovedan - Potofino 20vt (custom)
duncan78 - Moon Grey Plus 20vt (awaiting consent )

Duncan does this mean "the lady from Hampshire, she say, yes" ?
Dan, glad to have you onboard. A bit of G3 would have most of that scratch away. Do you want me to bring some?
Sam, are you still coming even though you didn't get your reserve on Ebay?
Thanks for all commited so far, but we still need MORE!

Yes please! count me in as a definite!

yep, i'm definetly in Approval from the wife has been granted

so, do we all arrive and park altogether? .. what's the plan?!

Will be in touch with the mini convoy plans!

Love the plate Dan, I think by the time we'll be at the event I will have my 'C20VTP' plate on

What's the relevance of the 'C' from the 'H'?!

Excellent
I'm in the throws of finalising the pre convoy parking/location, it's looking like:

Horsham Italian Event Meeting Point

Hop Oast Park & Ride
Worthing Road
Southwater
Horsham
RH13 0AR

Nice and easy to get to and find
Oh and for those in need there's V Power garage just next door

H just happened to be the cheapest 20VTP plate available so I bought it, unfortunately most people thought I worked for Southern Water and kept asking me why I have H20 on my car.

I just got pissed off with all the water questions

I liked:
C20VTP, Coupe 20VTP
F20VTP, Fiat 20VTP

in the end, I liked C20VTP the best.


What's the HT at the end of your plate?

Thought it must be Coupe, but laughing at all the H2O questions!

Mine, A20 VHT, is 'A 20 valve hybrid turbo'. Ostentatious I know!

Should still be up for this, I been a grumpy sod of late and should get out and about and enjoying it all again

Get out the nest Sam, it will do you good.

Go on Sam, you've paid all those £'s for a lovley Coupe, Go out and enjoy it

Come on Sam..I'd love to see your car

Jon

Ouch ...

I had a bad premonition today about taking the car over to Southampton city centre. parked it on the top of multi-storey where no one was around. Felt happy all day

car was perfectly safe, came back and started to reverse it out, there was a pole behind which I was careful of and then didn't see a very low bit of jutting out concrete at the front of the car as I edged forward..

hence, shattered the right hand side front lip



it's going to the bodyshop on Monday morning and also to have a small faint scratch repaired on the rear (not in my ownership).

£200 to repair and respray the front lip. 2-3 days repair time but it will take 4 days given the bank holiday week. The bodyshop was recommended to me and the guy said it will look perfect, apparently it had been damaged before as there was bodyfiller in there and wasn't a good repair (I had no idea!)

so if the car is not sorted by Thursday then unfortunately I will have to miss this event

Duncan Ohh no!, is this cause you wont have the car back or because a you think a damaged front lip is too much to bear? I'm sure you could say it happened on the way over . We'll all understand. It's just sod's law.....
I hope it does get sorted in time, it would be a shame to miss out, if you don't manage to get it rectofied, I recon you could still get away with it, one of mine has a split in it due to preious damage, not under my ownership though. See how it goes and keep in touch.
Everyone else still OK?

So here's the list:

Pondman - Vinci Grey LE 20vt
MrT - Electric Blue Plus 20vt
Samsite999 - Yellow 20vt (Custom)
Petep - Yellow 16VT (Custom)
jonjefferyes - Blitz Blue 16v
Hovedan - Potofino 20vt (custom)
duncan78 - Moon Grey Plus 20vt (awaiting repair )

Just to put everyones minds at rest, my car has got little (and some not so little) dinks all over it, so it's by no means a "show car" that doesn't mean I can't show it off, at the end of the day it's not a mollycoddled piece of conspicuous consumption, it's used and fairly often abused and thoroughly enjoyed. So stop worrying that your cars aren't pristine and come along and enjoy the day!!! I'll get off my soap box now

I'll second that...mine's a working car - 5000 miles last month -- so carries it's scars with pride! It's still a coupe and that makes it worthwhile showing

Jon

Yep, still heading down to Sussex for the bank holiday weekend. My war wound to fix up on the day if you bring the G3 along! Obviously driving down from Bristol so will try and give her a wash before I arrive, but mine gets a fair share of track use but cosmetically scratch apart is in fine fettle!

Duncan, if you're going dent or no dent, where shall we meet to convoy up? I'll be +1 that weekend so probably staying sunday night in a hotel in Brighton, so can meet anywhere along the A27/foot of A23 perhaps, the garage by the roundabout?

I think, all of the cars being put forward to be shown are daily or at least regular drives. So don't get too hung up on wear and tear, it just shows we still love driving them and can, on a day to day basis. Were also keen to show the rest of the general pubic what they're missing out on Hope everyones got their polishing clothes at the ready?
Just to let you know that there is a car wash (don't crusify me ) or a tap at the Shell station next door to the meeting point if you need a wash and brush up prior to the rendezvous.

Just noticed we've got a mention in the local rag, so we'd better turn up
