so....

my car is in with the wheel specialists today being refurbed - just got a call to say they've snapped 2 bolts off, still stuck in the hub. they're not prepared to try anything else, and want me to collect my car....

i'm ringing paul at motormech soon to see if i can get in tomorrow to sort the wheels out, so i at least have the requisite number of wheel bolts per wheel. if he cant do it i wont be coming...

keep yourself on standby phil, you might be going in my place yet...

i have 8 spare bolts, i could bring you some with me tomorrow if you want

cheers dave, and thanks for the offer - you have a pm...

you have one back, hope i can help out mate!!

right, i'm in at motormech this afternoon and hopefully will get this resolved - if so i'll be there with unrefurbished, rather scabby wheels for which i apologise now...

my thanks to coupedave for his kind offer of bolts, free, to help with my situation - top bloke, and reinforces my faith in the coupé community...

hey mate happy to have helped if I could!!

It could be 20a I know it's one of them lol. You can always follow me up Steve if you want?

if i make it....wheelbolt snapping issue paul, off to motormech this afternoon - pm me your mobile matey and i'll ring if i need to follow you

Bloody hell Steve your not having much luck at the moment are you fella.

You have a pm.

ok well motormech worked their magic and i'll be there

sorry trev


yes paul it could have gone better but i'm getting her there now. shame my wheels wont be any good but that's life, i daren't pull out of another event Theresa has organised or she'll think it's personal..

im looking forward to a day of wax on...wax off with the car tomorrow...god im sad but ill have nothing better to do!

gutted i cant make this guys, hope the weather is good and you get lots of pics

Ok T thanks and i think im still gona come spend the day there, SO ANY ONE IF SOME RANDOM GUY COMES TALKING TO YOU ITS JUST ME LOL try and get a feel for the guys on here and see all the sexy coupes,

Glad to see that you're still going to make it Steve and can't believe some of the bad luck you've had.

Maybe we're not destined to meet

It doesn't matter how tatty your wheels are or how you get to Tatton, you'd better get there, even if I have to come and get you myself

Fanastic day again, thanks Theresa for organising this. Nice to meet some new faces as well as the usual crew.

I'll post some pics up later.

J20 it is Steve do you and Sam want to meet up in the morning?

Sandbach sevices between J16 and J17 of the M6 between 7.20-7.30 if that's ok with you?

Sounds good mate, give me a idea where you want to meet up

like a post code

Fine weather again, nice to see everyone again, hope it holds out tomorrow for you all.

Gareth

Here you go Sam CW5 4UJ

I just finished cleaning the car..but its dark...so I suspect I have missed some bits

Nothing new there then

good to see everyone today even if I did make a bit of an entrance and fashionably late too!!! ninja smoke screens have nothing on me!!!
thanks for all the help sorting the coupe out to get me home everyone, especially taffy again!!!
got home fine and it's even blowing hot air out the heaters now too!!!

A few pics from today

And I thought it's coupes that are unreliable?


Good turn out


Old school porker


Old school and new


Cossy


How clean


The best coupe at show


The winner


It looks clean was it worth getting up at 5.30 though to clean it?

of course it was.

Are you sure that post code its right mate?

Thanks, nice to see you too

Thanks to all those that turned up, was a good day.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be the same

Thats what is says on the website but just taken a look and no it isn't right but I'm sure even you can find the M6

north side, or south (or as you look at it on a map, left or right)
