Anonymous Unregistered A	Here we go . Im really sorry but Sats don't suit me as I work Sats and have a random week day of as well as Sundays. So Sundays suit me best. However if Sats suit most people then I'll just take it as a days holidays . I'd drive as far as Dublin. If more people come from one particular area we could help accomodate them, so say I get a load rounded up from up north we could lean towards a more northerly location . As for what to do I'd suggest maybe a RR meet, which I suppose would lean towards a Saturday, doh! Or meet up for a chat at a nice scenic location for a mini photoshoot then of to a restaraunt for a meal, or a game of bowling or something. Dont know if any of you guys let the other half on this forum, but are they included?

There is a great RR in Waterford City and I can arrange accommodation in Tramore. Did this a few years ago with a crowd of guys from the Irish Ford RS club. We had a mini impromptu car show on the prom when we lined up all the cars and popped the hoods ! Brian

Anonymous Unregistered A	I only hope this dicussion doesn't turn into the Alfa one as did anything ever happen with it? Anyway I can only hope we get anything like the attendance at the NIIMC meet with over 12 Coupes in attandance at various points during the day . Brings me nicely onto another subject. The NIIMC or Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club of which me BigIan and others on here are members. Its a club that I'm sure is too far away for most of you southern guys to travel to but just wanted to mention it. Get over to NIIMC.net and read up on all the club events which we have attended. Very worth while to click on the "Panda to America" section to see all the pics from Jim taking Club Mascot Silvia a £100 Fiat Panda on a Coast to Coast trip across America. He did Africa last year but thats another story . Also post on the forum that I sent you, Stuart the club secetary is giving me a hard time for being involved in organising something outside of NIIMC . Anyway back to matters in hand. If we agree on the date then location next. I'm asking around at the minute, but think somewhere fairly central would be fairest to everyone.

Anonymous Unregistered A	.OK the date is agreed (I hope ). All we need now is a location and something to do. You guys down south would know better of somewhere suitable than me. The place that was mentioned before for the Alfa meet sounded central, Athlone was it? Is there anywhere else that has a good road network to it? We would need somewhere in the town to meet if anyone knows it? A nice sceneic spot for some pics and maybe somewhere for a bite to eat? Questions all needing answered soon

Ahh, I hadn't realised it was a bank holiday Owners on a weekend away, lots of traffic on the roads. I know I suggested it, but perhaps not a great proposal after all?

Anonymous Unregistered A	Forget about the traffic David. A bank holiday weekend is good. Absolutely no excuse for people not going as they are of work on the Monday ! Always think of the positives . That Hotel looks really good. Nice and scenic really good for a mini photoshoot. Looks like they do good food as well. How about 29th Oct for the date Hudson bay Hotel for the location and about 1pm for the time. I could see most people traveling there in the most 2-3hours, not too bad. Not to early to get up but have breakfast. Leave about 9.30 - 10am. Drive down. Meet up have our photoshoot and a chat/ get to know you session at 1pm. In for something to eat about 2pm. Finish meal at 3.30ish. Then out for a run to another location 4 to 4.30ish(Remembering to keep speeds and overtaking manouvers to a minimum ) and more photos/say farewell session 5-6ish. leave for home 7ish. Any other suggestions for what to do on the day? Like Hannibal from the A-Team used to say "I love it when a plan comes together" .

I also enquired about getting a biggish space reserved in their car park, but I couldn't talk to an appropriate person, so I sent an email to one of their generic addresses - I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm going to be fairly busy (and in a different time zone) for the next few weeks, could someone else chase the hotel/numbers and keep this thing going?

Ally I still have those pace notes I wrote up on the back of my map book from Edgeworthstown to Athlone. Do you still want them? I think I'll be the only Coupé on the Rosscommon road going to the meet! Hard luck on the seats CollieD Last edited by darmtb; 18/10/2006 19:21. "Mighty MO"

Might make it there in something else to say hello.

Everyone needs to make a decision now on whether or not we go ahead, and how many people will be there? I would say a cut of point of Friday so that if we're not going ahead then at least everyone can plan something else for the weekend.

Place your origin and your destination and it will give you the best route and the overall route time and also the list of all the roads. Very handy indeed. CollieD

Im not 100% sure i can go yet, trying to sort out some stuff for work but hopefully I will be there. What time and where about are you thinking of meeting Ally ? I would suggest at the side of the road near the Armagh Demesne (just up from the cop station) ? Maybe you already have somewhere in mind though ? Cheers Ian

I planned the Route on the AA site from Armagh to Athlone and it says 1hr 44mins, So I'd say 2hrs . If we're planning to be in Athlone for 1pm the we'd need to leave Armagh at 11am. I'd like to aim for 10.45am again to give us some breathing space . Thats me leaving home about 10am in Magherafelt. So James do you want to meet in Armagh? I've printed of the route and got a great map with route marked on it, I should have a co pilot with me as well to read the map. Ian hope you get your work sorted. Gives a good day tomorrow so we have the makings of a great day . Looking forward to meeting everyone. Ian and James I sent you guys my mob no over PM. Put it in your phones and ring me in the morning. Much easier to meet up then.

Passers by got their pics taken in front of allystews car, i told them that mine had a 3" downpipe and it was really my coop that they wanted a pic of, but they didn't seem convinced All in all, it was great to meet everyone, but we didn't really get a chance to rip up the roads in athlone ... maybe next time

Westward might be a bit further away for me but do they not do Unichips? I know they mightn't have much experience with the Coupe but if we did get a RR day then it would give them a really good base to work from. They could see how the car works with the different setups that each of us have. Even for the standard guys its just as good for you guys to check everything is working as it should .
