I'm at work Bramham Park on Sunday till 12pm so only about half and hour away. Not sure how quick a getaway I'll be able to make. I reckon I'll pitch up between 1 and 2pm and just see who's knocking about. I'm sure I can kill some time in the pub till the majority either return from the earlier mini jaunt or the 2pm people turn up.

Might not make this either °\( The coop has just had a total coolant loss this afternoon - dripping underneath. Unless I can get it fixed tomorrow I'll be a no show. \:\(

Any luck with the fix G Man?
Sounds like a coolant hose has come off, i think some are a nightmare to access!
If i were you i'd buy yourself a lottery ticket, you have that much bad luck with the coupe, your bound to have some good luck elsewhere!!

If it is indeed a hose, hopefully it can be sorted and still make tomorrow....

Unlucky! Could have been worse though.
If you want a lift you know where i am, although the other half is coming so it may be your first back seat ride in a coop if you do come!

Sorry guys - not going to be there today. \:\(

Work issue from last night that's ongoing today. Hope it's still a good turnout - weather here looks

If it was an earlier time then would probably be OK.

Totally gutted. °\(

Enjoyed the day, good to meet another group of coupe enthusiasts, thanks to BMX for the discs (hope to get rid of the slight judder due to my set being a bit warped due to Front flexi's) Hope you get yor car sorted & the turbo isnt kaput.

Nice to talk to the guy with the porto 20v (sorry cant remember name hope you do make it to Lakes meet part 2 (if it happens, sure it will)

Big Pete sorry but cant part with the car even for yours \:D
Hope to meet up again.

Apart from junction 29 being closed so had to divert on way home had a good day, dont think can transfer sons pictures off his phone & forgot to use camera (again
With car not being finished probably reason didnt think of it, but looking at the pics taken by you guy's I should have taken a few.

Tomato, hope you got some usefull info regarding your 20vt coupe quest, good luck finding one \:\)


Peter.

right, after a great time with the coop owners and a big thanks to mick/colin who turned up after leaving a fccuk calling card on his windscren,
i got the car home and stripped it down to route out the problem i realised id turned up the boost instead of down, luckly i drove home off boost so all as well once turned down and ive fitted the fmic to find that there isnt oil in the i/c and no play in the turbo! (thank god) but the rocker gasket is gone but its a good excuss to paint it once off!
thanks for all the support guys, hope to see you all soon!

Sorry I didn't make the meet, just having my car serviced and MOT'd which has taken the garage longer than I expected.
Looks like I missed a good meet!!!

3 Scott Green Coupes indeed, I've only ever seen one other and three end up in a car park. For a first time to a meet, I had a laugh and even my lass wasn't too fussed about being dragged along (I think the dinner at the pub I bought afterwards helped!).

Good day for it and great to put faces to the names and see more than one coupe. Some good pictures on the forum as well. Gonna have to get along to a big event now (even my lass was saying I should go). Great meeting people looking forward to another meet. I think next time I'll make sure I'm the last to leave so I don't get pained looks from people while my manifold heats up and seals itself!

Sorry I didn't make it to this, Birthday party hangover was just way too bad \:D
Poor powers of recovery must be one of the side effects of hitting the big Four Oh \:o
Hopefully I'll get to the next one.
