SE meet...polling interest

Anyone up for a Sunday SE meet? Maybe 18th February or 4th March?

I'm up for it, the 18th February might be difficult for me but 4th March will be fine.

btw, Where are all the smilies hiding?

Pete

Either for me, assuming I am here, apparantly Bezzer is coming down for it too, he just doesn't know yet :p

Vics, I will have a think for a suitable location, but if anyone else can think of one then shout out

If i'm not working, i'd be up for this.

Dave

If its Gatwick bleedin' Airport you can count me out

Can't do the 18th. I'll be at Butlins

New Job???

I'm at Rog's for new brakes on the 3rd, so might be up for a run out on the 4th, bed them in a bit...

If i can afford to put petrol into the car i'll be there.

You better have some petrol in there, I will be looking for some right foot action of my own



Is it me or does that sound slightly kinky

ooh JimO - i love it when you put your foot down.

I shall be up for this too!

I'd like to, but will still be loving it up from Valentine's day

I'd be a dead man if I popped along

4th March would be better for me

Shall we say 4th March? Jim - did you come up with a venue yet?

Okay for me - usual Sunday caveat, though

4th March fine for me too.

Pete

So 4th March

Vickster
JimO
Emjay
PeteP
Vanquish - maybe, work dependant
Bozzer - he knows he wants to
Kenno - if he can raise some petrol pennies
Elder81
Bockers - he hasn't answered yet
Jackofspeed

so 7 definites.

Anymore coming.

Beggers, suba, crazycoop, mrc - where are you

Anyone got any great ideas for a venue, Vics can't make her mind up

Woman's prerogative to be indecisive, remember that

So long as i aint away with work (crossed fingers) ill be there

Put me down as a maybe at the moment . Any ideas roughly where it might be?

Phil

We haven't been to the Flight Tavern by Gatwick for a while...other option is Epsom Downs, unless anyone has better suggestions

Put me down as a maybe dependant on location...

:-)

The Weybridge meet with a cruise to that pub in Clandon/East Horsley worked well.

Which one was that, was that the one you wired up my boost gauge in the car park?

Yes, think you went straight to the Pub.

Thats right, I came straight from work IIRC, that was ok there. Shall we say there again? What was it called though

http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=21387&page=5&fpart=5

The previous post discussing it, it looks like it was the rose and crown or something

Duke of Wellington, East Horsley. The barman called the coupe a Hairdressers car Maybe he saw Emjays Murple

Looking at the pub guide it has new owners now and has gone downhill

I'll let JimO take the barman out for a short blast in my coupe and lets see if he still calls it a hairdressers car.

Damn I missed it, as we will be driving tho, I will settle with just a little spin in the car and a coke

Possibility here, might be able to get down and see what you lot are up to, if Carl finishes the TLC in time

Neil

Bockers - are there any other pubs in that neck of the woods? Which Seb Coe may also frequent (it was that one, wasn't it?)

Yep it was Seb Coe who was in the same pub last time.

Anyone fancy wiring up mine so the back light works if i come along pretty please

4th March, count me in

Which car should I bring

Bring the LE, lets have a look at her

Only if it's a dry day

Yes, I'm one of those

Anybody fancy fitting an ac compressor to mine for free beer and lunch? (Ignore if it's a really really complicated job )

so where is this then ??? anyone got a postcode.

Count me in, would be nice to see some other coops and put some faces to names, although i warn you mines not pretty.

karl.

what's not pretty? You or the Coupe?

I might be able to make this too. Please put me down as a definitly may be

Yep i'm up for this, thanks JimO! Mr C

I could well be up for this depending on where it is.

So 4th March

Vics, we really need a venue, I never got out at the weekend, so I draw a blank there, anyone, any ideas

Rubbing House, Epsom Downs at 12 noon Do you want to see if Joe the dentman wants to come...anyone need de-denting?

If anyone wants him I walk round the corner and ask him. So post here any dents need doing? We will need at least 6 people I would say

Agreed or it's not worth his while

De-dent guy would be great if we can get the numbers up, as I missed out on him last time .

Sorry to be a pain, but to save me trawling back through this rather long thread, can someone please summarise where, when, and who .

Phil

Rubbing House

Sunday 4th March - meet at midday

Sunday 4th March at the Rubbing House pub on Epsom Downs from 12 noon...recommend all get there for that sort of time as it does get very busy and the car-park isn't huge... If the dentman does come, it may be worth starting a bit earlier

Yep got some need doing again, got some bad ones on my new bonnet, not to sure if he can do them? One or two on the drivers side back panel, and a funny one on the roof! Mr C

Possibles for dentman ...

Me (just need to check for dents) yup, but punto rather than coop

Thanks JimO & Vickster . I'll put the date on the calendar now .

Phil

I'll be there 1'ish.

Sounds good! Can I come? I'd love to see the dentman! er, that doesn't sound right...my car has lots of dents to fix!

Sorry, I'm being an idiot. There's no way I can be there. I am already double-booked. Looks like I'm going to be in Plymouth that weekend (obligation) and, just in case I can get out of that, I will be in Lincolnshire (pleasure).

Have a good one!

So you can't make it Emjay? And after we arranged for it to be far enough from your house to give the murple one a good run out

I might bring the DB9

I'm up for this - not seen the thread before. Assuming I can get a new water hose by then etc.

Pleeeeese bring the DB9! They sound nice....obviously I'll have to back off so you can come past and I can hear it!

Bring a tenner with you

Will do mate! - Got the little thing working now, switch was broken.

Switch was broken?? Was it, it worked ok for my car anyway, bring it with you would you, I may want to test my car, you know just for research

yep - the internal bit had snapped off. All fixed now though - fiddly little job. Drop me a PM near the meet and remind me to put it in the glovebox just in case.

Anyone coming got a code reader? Could do with seeing if everything is ok? Cheers, Mr C

I'd be happy to bring mine along mrc . Not sure that I want to spend all meet checking everyones cars, but if people need to check something out, then I'm happy to oblige.

Phil

I'll have to wrestle my 3-year old son for it... out of his toy box

Thanks Highwayman! Just need to check injector light as I’ve done the thermostat, temp sensor and lamda sensor! Mr C

OK put me down for this please!

And my car needs dentman like no other coupe has ever needed him.

Dentman ...

JamesH

Vics are you gonna contact him and see if he will turn up for this or shall I?

Go for it as he's only around the corner from you

looks good, i might be able to make this

more the merrier

You can put me down for the dent chappy as well - if he can get lots of those little dents out of the door skins...

I hope to be there, but will need a lift. I have been inundated with offers so thank you to all. My current dilema is:-

1. a ride in the JimObile red leather fetish mobile
2. PeteP in the 16v Turbo Terrific (AKA The Varoom Roadster).
3. Suba in his and Scottie monster

Hope you like the gratutious use of the list Jim

Decisions decisions...

Where's your motor Mr Bockers? Mr C

He has just realised it is green and is now too embarassed to go out in it. I have been trying to tell him this for ages, but he would never listen

He has also broken his hand so can't drive

Oooooooooh, oooooooouch! Say no more!

I think Mr. JimO needs a duffing. I'll have to do it as Bockers has only got the one arm.

Obviously yours is a nice green though Si

obviously - but someone's still going to have to give you a duffing for being rude about Bockers's nice Green coop.....he's the only one that can let you off....

Well obviously he will let me off, I have secrets about him, that I may let out in, say, April, but I may not Only Bockers can choose

Is this not a thread about a meet?

Nope










Well yeah maybe, sorry miss

The dentman is on holiday that weekend, so will not be able to attend So if anyone else wants to organise someone else go ahead .

The dentman said he would be interested in any future meets

Booo! I really need to see the dentman

Me too! Is there a substitute dentman available? Or if not has anyone got contact details? The coop's gonna just be one big dent before long!

The only thing I would say is not to use the guy we had at bluewater

James, if yours is that bad, I am sure Joe (the dentman who can't make it) would come round to yours. He only lives in Epsom, so not far from you. I can give you his mobile number. This goes for anyone really, he is really good and said he will visit people

Jim, YHPM!

I still can't come, but have invited a couple of owners in the area who seem quite keen. They work at a local garage. Keep an eye out

Just found this thread.
Would like to meet up with some of you guys but cant make this date. If there is a future date in North Kent or SE London (Bluewater for example) count me in.
Wouldn't mind seeing the Dentman as well!!

Dentman not coming as he's on holiday...I can PM his details if necessary

We tend to have a Bluewater meet in November...however, feel free to arrange one at a time convenient to you and others if you wish

I'm out dudes, sorry.

Sorry about your car , you can always come in something else, JimO does.

Pete

Sorry Guys - Booked a snowboarding trip this weekend as it's the only time a bunch of mates could go.

Ah you big girl

Have a good one Ken - did not know you boarded!

Sorry JimO. I was looking forward to hearing that V6 as well.

Suba - well i attempt to board.

Anytime mate

Still 4th March?

Nothing changed?

Hope not, im busy getting Red Thunder all shiny for it

Rog has my coop and hopefully it will be ready by the weekend, if not I'm going to have to bail out I'm afraid

The LE is now SORN, so that's a no no.

Yep, still Sunday...12 noon at the Rubbing House on Epsom Downs

Over to you Rog.

so it's rog's fault if you dont make this meet jayzee

who's still going then?

Everyone who hasn't backed out yet I guess

Is anyone going to be driving down the M3 to get there and if they are mind if i tag along? convoy style

I'm still in unless my car isn't ready on time

no news on your coop yet jayzee?

Nothin'

if anyone can rog can

I'll be passing your way mate . Could perhaps hook up at Fleet Services if you like.

Phil

Yep sounds good, ill give you a PM about it later.

Looks like I'm out, car not ready

gutted mate

Thought you have a few cars

The other one is SORN

No point arriving in another car as this is a coupé meet

Happens all the time to be honest...we have as many ex owners as owners turning up

Yeah, but you don't want my ugly mug letting the side down

Up to you

Hey everyone, im new to this! Made the b/f buy a coup, got it on thursday, loads wrong with it, ooops! But love it still!

Well up for a meet, i live in London. Where is everyone meeting and what time?

Amy

Details again for newcomers to the thread

Thanks, hope to see you down there, dont know anyone so i will try and look out for you if thats ok?

Amy

I'll be in the car park standing near a not too subtle yellow coupe

Hey matrix, I'm going down from london! Where are you based? We could meet up before if you want! Mr C

I live in kentish town, that would be good.

Amy

I'm in willesden green, where do you wanna meet? It takes about 1.5 hours including traffic, so we'll need to meet 10.30 or 11ish! Let me know, Mr C

Hope you all had a nice time, sorry I couldn't be there...again

Hey Jayzee, the meet is tomorrow!

Doh

What made me think it was today?

If it's tomorrow I may be able to make it, but I have to take and collect my son from a party.

I may not be able to make this now as I'm in Oxford all day today and have got a fair bit of stuff to get through tomorrow.

Jim - I can send you the tenner I owe you if this is the case mate.

sorry mrc gonna have to give it a miss but definately next time

I'll be there, courtesy of PeteP

Don't worry Si if you don't get there, I am sure we'll catch up sooner or later

Weather's looking a bit damp . Oh well, just leaving, so see you there around noon !

Phil

The kids party is going to clash

See you all next time?

Sorry guys, i aint gonna be able to make this one. Had to take my mate into hopsital, rubbish!
Have a great time without me

Nice to finally put a face to a few names . Thanks for sorting it JimO & Vickster, it was a nice pub with great food, just a shame about the weather .

Not the best drive back either, as the M25 was stuffed and I had to brave the waterlogged A roads across to Guildford and then the Hogs Back .

I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for the next SE event, which will hopefully give us a better chance to have a proper look at the cars without getting soaked .

Phil

I lasted all of 1 minute before they threw me and my family out
No kids allowed sadly, so we left. Oh well.

Ah, so it was you...we did spot you, but none of us reacted fast enough

We moved into the restaurant which was kid friendly (petep turned up soon after with his grandson)...why didn't the miserable sods tell you that

We were wondering whose the red one was.

It was only in the bar that was no children ,the restaurant was fine, just had to stay there with my 6 year old grandson.

The notice on the door wasn't very clear or friendly though.

Pete

Lol, they said "table for 5?"

I said, "no I'm going over there with the coupe people"

They said "I'm sorry we don't have a license for kids in the bar"

I said "Oh, ok that sorts that then"

It wouldn't have mattered normally, we'd just have hung around in the car park and stolen some wheels but with the weather that wasn't really on either.

No matter, there'll be another time

We'll go to McDonalds next time

We did

Sorry for not coming guys and girls had to work
