Yep!

he he he, i bloody well hope not, especially if im having food in the pub at the time, ha ha ha Anytime after would be great. So at the moment im still hoping to see all your lovely looking coupes at the meet. My camera will be full with pics

If I get my car sorted and I can definitely come can you plug it in to mine please Barnacle?

All welcome, that's why I'm bringing it.

I might bring a microwidget, too, and show off the star trek software too. For coupes, star trek only does 16v and 16vt, but I'm currently expanding it and it can talk to punto/siecento/cinquecento/lancia Y with single point injection, now, too... also (untested) probably multi-point injection FIRE engines, too, but the error reporting will likely be wrong.

Based on that, I'm working on the MK5 widget which will be able to cover a *huge* range of fiats. It's a complete rewrite of the interface code, much more modular, though it doesn't have the pretty picture at start-up any longer but the target list is:
IAW16F - SPI FIRE engines
P8PQP - twin cam two litre, NA and turbo
M2.10.4 - coupe 20v, some Alfa
IAW18F - MPI FIRE engines, alfa boxer, palio
MA1.7.3 - Tipo, Y11 12v engines
M1.7 - Alfa 155, 164
M2.7 - Punto GT, turbo, thema TC, kappa TC
plus anything else I can think of, program space and enthusiasm permitting...

And that work will probably find its way back into the start trek software, so it cross-fertilises both ways.

Sounds bloody good Barnacle!

Can I get a postcode for the pub, so I know where to come. Didn't realise it was this weekend, but should be there! Would appreciate a crack with the portable widget, haven't really had my car chaecked over properly yet, so would appreciate it and happy to donate of course.

Oh God, I am going to have to wash it now....

The first post in this thread gives all the details.

Anyone else from Essex want to meet up at the Thurrock Services at around 10.30 for a convoy there?

WOAH BIG SIG lol!

Interesting... If Barnacle brings a laptop, I could always bring down a certain portable 250GB HDD with about 2GB of data on it... Needs an external power socket though!

I would bring my laptop but the battery is now useless for any more than 20 mins use and the unactivated version of XP has expired.

Sorry yes, missed that, apologies.

400 mile round trip, eeek! I'll see how it goes.

Sorted

For info - Barnacle is currently planning on being in a convoy of one going anticlock around the M25 from the A41 interchange around half ten on Sunday...

Will your widget plug into my Ducati 748 which I'll pop down in?

I have an idea the ECU is used on at least one Duc, but I really don't know... which ecu is yours? And does it have the same three-pin connection?

Just reposting something JimO said in another SE meet thread.

Thanks Ken, I missed that

All please read my note above.

"The 748 uses a Magneti Marelli 1.6M ECU, which has a 3 pin diagnostic socket on the loom next to it, just like quite a few older Fiats"

Awesome...

I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out of this, my girlfriend has arranged a surprise weekend away for my birthday which was earlier this week.

I'm kind of suspicious about the timing. she has not yet come to understand the coop.....

Surprise weekend. Yeah right. Sneakily planning your whole life to her preferences more like. This is just the start...

Speaking of who wears the trousers, I told my missus we should be able to attend. Any other women going or is she going to be sat in the corner by herself?

I think my missus will be coming too so at least there'll be two of them sitting in the corner lol

welformed,

my mrs is going mate. she's just up for the carvery. and no she's not a big porker!

Anita will be coming along to make sure I don't accidently give any widgets away

My wife will also be there - I'm picking her up from Gatwick before coming to the meet, so I'll be turning up about 1 or so. She's on her way back from a yoga holiday in Tuscany, so standing in a car park full of Coupes will be sure to maintain her chi.

Would a 155Q4 be welcome if I park in the corner, dont want to spoil the photo line ups...

Oh I wont have money to munch/drink I'll sheerly be going for the Coupes, the members, the banter, the advice and the repairs to my car lol!

I can't make this one now, cars in the body shop getting fixed...have a good time and I hope the weather behaves.

Jack155 - of course. I'm trying to remember if I ever flogged you a widget but either way I want to know if one works.

Don't want to jinx the weather but it's looking good!
