All Ireland Coupe Meet -Sunday March 6th 2011

Hi Guys,

I hope winter has been good to you all and your cars have stayed in one piece since we last chatted.

I think its time for a spring meet to welcome in the better sunnier days. (we hope).

I have an extra reason for proposing sunday 6th March (Venue to be agreed) as my insurance is up on the 8th March and I wont be renewing this year due to financial constraints. Namely the F**kin state the country is in.

I am just going to do an odd trackday hopefully and see about renewal terms for the summer etc.

Well back to the point. Who is up for it?

All newcomers welcome and the usual suspects- you know who you are-

Regards

CollieD

Will see how many is interested and then we can decide.

CollieD

Hi CollieD

I dont think i will be up for this one as i didnt intend on putting the coupe back on the road until April. Will keep an eye on this though if my situation changes

Eoghan

Well Guys,

I take it that there is not much interest in this one.

I will pm a few incase they are not on the forum at the moment.

CollieD

try octane, a few there own coupes.

There are also other people on this forum who do not mention they are irish.

Just logged on here for the 1st time in a few days.

I'd be on for a meet on Sunday 6th. The car is in a bit of a state at the moment, since I rolled it into a wall! Still, dents and scratches aside, at least it's running.

Anybody have any ideas for where to meet. I'm up in Co.Down just outside Newcastle so it'll be a bit of a spin to get to say athlone etc, but I'd run down to somewhere closer alright. You still around Dundalk CollieD?

CollieD, you have PM

How's about Carlingford again? Nice roads, nice village, good carvery!!!

Daithi,

Have replied to your pm.

I am easy on the location. Any excuse to drive.

Interest levels seem low at moment.

Lads dont stray to the german side or even worse the banzai's.

CollieD

I've PM'd Maastif, Albertone, darmtb and gobby. No replies as yet.

Come on guys, wakey wakey!!!!

i'd love to but out of work at the moment and am skint

Sorry to hear that dec1.

I hope a job comes your way soon.

Daithí

Hi Dec,

sorry to hear that too. Hope something comes up for you soon.

CollieD

I've PM'd a few people and apart from dec1 who replied but can't make it, I've had no responses!!

Well, I'm going for a spin in my Coupé to Carlingford that weekend anyways, even if I'm on my own!

Well Daithi,

I will be there definitely. Will make sure I get her washed and scrubbed up for that.

Darmtb contacted me and he has other committments that weekend.

Fingers crossed a few more might drop in but we will make most of it. It has been quite a while.

CollieD

Oh never saw the post, was up West in Mayo, and looking at an X1/9 on the Saturday on Saturday, but didn't go for it.
Perhaps an event later in the year during sunny times.

Yup it was a nice nice day out for a spirited drive across the mountains.

The coupé behave well and enjoyed a good stretch of the legs after doing only 100 or so miles in the last 5 months.

We need to get a good following for the next meet though

Daithí

Was looking at this, looks like a good day out get and only in Mullingar. Might see does the Missus fancy a spin

Jaysus, I have to make this, I only live a few miles from Mullingar, I have to get the new engine into my coupe!

Well i wont be attending anyway apparently its my girlfriends 30th birthday that weekend (oops)

Hmmm might be a nice one seeing as I missed the Lancia club meet in cork last month :-(

I scraped my beautiful paintwork on the hedge pulling into the driveway of my new house the other day. BULLING!! hopefully can polish it out.

Hi Ronan,

sorry to hear that. I hope yout took it out on the hedge!!

Are you headin up Saturday to the Italian Car day in Lisburn.

Myself, Daithi are going so far and Alfex is a possibility.

CollieD

Cyril and myself went to the Island Centre to check everything out this morning and I have to say I'm very impressed with the place. The location beside the canal is lovely and I think will suit the gathering perfectly.. The centre itself has all the facilities including a restaraunt and the chef says he will endevour to have Italian dishes on the menu on Saturday.
Lisburn centre is about a 10 minute walk but you needn't worry as the weather is going to be great.

Entrance to the Island is from Queens road.

From the M1 follow the saintfield road into Lisburn to the roundabout (Sloan St A3 indicated) and right round onto the A1 Queens road. As you approach the first set of lights (just past Holybrook sports car sales) keep right and then turn right into the Island centre. the just follow the road round and please go to were you are directed.

Go to Google maps and type in Island Arts Centre, The Island, Lisburn and you will see were to enter. You will only be able to in via Queens road.

Hi Stuart,

that sounds great. Will hope to see you tommorrw and have a quick chat as I am an avid follower of Marenello House.
