Mmmm.... I passed a Red P Reg Coupe just outside my house this morning in Castlebellingham, Co. Louth. I flashed my lights and he flashed back. Ah... what a nice feeling.
It's the 1st time I've ever passed by another Coop on the road. I wonder is it another soon to be re-registered Coupe from the UK or just some guy on holidays?
Ha! I passed him again today in town and now its on Irish Plates. I think that makes it 5 or possibly 6 coupes in in my part of the Country.

Now this is a record!!! Up until last week I had only ever passed 1 other coupe on the road in about 4 years. I live in an area where coupes are a rare as hen's teeth. Last night on my way into town I passed a red coupe (think it was the one I passed last week too- see above post)and a minute later a Sprint Blue Coupe (might have been CollieD's coupe). Then I turned off the road to get to a local shop and I passed a parked up Silver 20VT and within a couple of hundred yards I passed a house with a Metallic red 20VT parked in the driveway (think that one belongs to gwoods). So that's 4 coupes spotted in a 3-4 minute interval!! Nice

CollieD, Only been to Drogheda to order parts. I use Damien Moran Motors on Hill Street in Dundalk for servicing. The guy is very genuine. He used to service my 16v n/a. He just did my turbo replacement. He likes my Coupe. He doesn't mince his words re: cars he doesn't like but I trust him 100%. I need to go to him on Monday as all the coolant just pissed out of my engine this evening and I'm beached on my driveway!!! Fiesta 1.25 for me on Monday me thinks!

I know what you mean !! Yesterday while on the road bike on a club spin, I met that '97 Wine Coupe, I seen before, at the entrance of the new roundabout beside Orammore on the N18. Luckily it was my turn up on the front, and I gave the owner a wave and she waved back A friend of mine in the group spotted her too, and he knows her through his sister, so I'm going to get him to pass a fccuk card with the forum details to her. I still didn't see if it was a V or VT

Keep an eye out for my Mum up and down the roads of Sligo, Mayo, etc over the next couple of weeks She's been there a week already. In a Fiat Ducato motorhome, with British plates. Give her a wave It'll probably take her about 10 minutes to suddenly think ' I'm sure that's like Theresa's car', but give her a wave anyway
