Hiya, we had some big meets here last year and it would be great to get another one going - I have cajoled 2 friends in the local press to cover the meet in the local papers again... The route might be Kenilworth to Stratford Upon Avon - down the Fosse :D...Beautiful scenery - lovely driving roads and some cracking historical sights for pics... Some dates might be...8/9th 15/16th Last meet before Crimbo - and possibly the best excuse to let "Them" trot along shopping... What are your thoughts? And whos up for it? PS: Some pics from last years (Courtesy of MCMike) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v237/muttit/Warwickshire/

Can I tag along with my quiet blend into the background STI. Always nice to have a run out and say hello to people again, and just to keep the Coupe link I will transfer the air freshner over.

Great lads...looking good so far... We may start off at Kenilworth Castle for piccys... But 6 and counting is great... (Not counting the Jap import... .. seriously though - Crash's wagon sounds soooooooo sweet and meaty - and the spoiler is so subtle.. ) James - what colour - i hope its Red...

Could well be up for this, the Kenilworth meets are always great and it'd be good to meet up with the usual suspects again . Coupe in for service and MOT on 7th so it should be running nicely for this- will confirm nearer the time. Paul

Hi All, I will suggest the following Meeting - Sunday 9th December 11:30 am / 12 noon at Kenilworth Castle Running through to 3/4 O'clock ish - Unless you have a Jap import, in which case you can leave at any point you wish - As Crash is coming along in his mobile ironing board (Mitsi Evo 4 ii think ) he has advised that the going rate is £5 for a bag of shirts... Let me know if your all cool with that... I will contact the local Newspaper and see if we can get some more press coverage/Professional Piccys !!

If I park in amongst the Coupes, I dont think the camera man would even notice I was in the shot. I will tag along behind but dont go to fast round the twisties as I have handling issues.
