How do leckypete. Currently living in Harrogate. I'm working till 12 on the Sunday so I was thinking of heading down when I'm done. A mini hoon from around here to Brighouse may be a laugh!

Hi Big Pete,
Want to meet up then?
Not 100% on exact location of Brighouse (far from you?)
If not will see you there, anyone else planning on going from N/East?

Peter.

pete,theres a link to the address further up the thread. its just off m62 jt52 i think.

Why the late meet time? Half the day has passed!!

Andy.

How about the A629 up to Skipton, then onto the B6265 on over the Dales to Swinithwaite. A684, then A6108 down to Ripon.
Or turn left at Swinithwaite and come back via Kirkby Lonsdale.?

Andy.

Ye gods - that's a bit of a route! How's about something a bit more local. Along to J22 - down to Delph - along saddleworth - Holmfirth - then back up to Brighouse. Nice scenery and good roads.

A route needs sorting as this is almost upon us!! Is there a pub along the route?

Andy.

pm's sent kids,phil we changing the date on this?

g-man route seems good, hope to see you all there!

Feel free to suggest/arrange alternatives.

I do think that once you start changing dates for people, you will always be changing the date.
If yuo get what i mean.

no, i thought time was being changed to 12 noon only?

Andy.

Think its a bit late to be changing anything.

Prob working until 11am so 2pm fine, if are meeting at 12 then hang on at venue until after 2 (Bigpete said he was working until 12)

Can I have confirmation on time.

I will be there for this, its only round the corner from me. what time is it though 2pm????

Nope, 12 noon as agreed a few days ago. 2 pm is far too late. does not give us a chance to do anything

Andy.

the change of date was a typo by me, sorry bout this.

reguarding times, i know what sumplug means by the day being spent, but we originally arranged for a meet with (bonnets up) not planning a route, this is a bonus and for the people who have already sorted out the 2pm meet time i feel it would be unfair to change this, so its best if we keep it at the 2pm time for those having work etc!

Ok - fine by me 2pm it is. Perhaps sometime in the summer we can organise a meet plus drive.

we could still go for the route you suggested g-man

Is anyone going to the meet selling their Turbo? Plus if I could get there, would I be an outcast in a non-coupe, lol. Which would be more embarrassing, a Focus TDCI (It does have a Turbo?!?) or a Rover 25 GTI?

why not just come along and have a look at the cars and say hi

Will try, be good to look over a few good ones, give me some extra clues on what to look for.

Need to make sure the little one is with Mum, are you stil meeting at The Old Corn Mill in Brighouse at 2PM this Sunday.

I'll be there for 2ish, and to be honest not fancying a drive, but see how it goes on the day.

however if a few that turn up want to go for a spin, no ones going to stop them!
Same with the time to meet, if some want to meet at 12 they can, maybe go for a spin and come back for 2 to meet the rest of us.
Id say here's just the place to sort who is turning up at 12, and who's tunrning up at 2.

Looking forward to meeting a few more owners!

I thought the best part of the big coupe meet was the driving in convoy. Park and polish with bonnets up is a bit boring.

Andy.

I think the idea of those who wish to have a drive meet at 12pm then get back to the rest at 2pm is a good compromise.

If I can get to the meet on Sunday, is any one willing to give me a guided tour of a coupe (mainly the engine). Really need to see and hear a standard one so I get more of an idea what I am looking for. Seen three now, although engines appeared strong, one had a faint tapping sound, another ticking sound and the last one seem OK but the fan was on far too much for my liking.

If you don't get lucky this weekend and have any more questions, ping me a PM. Next time you're over my way I'm more than happy to show you round mine and take you for a blast...

Cheers,

although was literally blasted around by the psycho driver owner today, thrashed the pants of the little coupe, not even warmed up, worn tyres, was looking for an air bag on the passenger side during the little trip, loony, not buying that one, lol.

tomato, ill be there and you'll find plenty of helpful folk to give advice and guidence, where bouts you based?

I am on top of the Pennines, near Halifax Golf course

i work in wakefield, live nr doncaster, the meet should be close for you then, hope to see you sunday

About 10-15 mins away from me if that, 8 mins in a coupe :-)

Do we have a rough idea how many are turning out at 1200hrs for a drive?
