St Albans evening meet Wed 11th April

Time for another Hemel/Hertford Red Lion meet!

This time with a difference!! ,...its not going to be at the Red Lion.

Harvester St.Albans

So who's up for this, usual time 730, usual suspects,..usual Coupes, some shinier than others, others more bling than others!

Neil and I thought the service at the Red Lion has been off a bit lately so time for a change.

So if you fancy coming along just reply here, and we'll see you that evening for usual Coupe gossip and slander!

Joe

Well, that's two of us then...

Neil

God, yeah, I'm coming. Just to see another Coop shall be worth it.

tut, it would be miles away when I've got a 50bhp, 954cc miserable hunk o junk wouldn't it?

Count me in

Count me in as long I can get away from work on time! Probebly get there around 8pm! C u soon, Mr C

Well I'm in. Must see the new Barnacle machine

If the week changes I will be, but that is right in the middle of my bike week

ahh that's seven of us!! then!

Joe

I am quite tempted to come along for a look at the paintjob.

Well I trust you won't have the same problems with the constabulary as Stan and his charabanc did

Neil

I will try to come along but not sure if I'll have the coup

I'll give you a lift, if you can handle the speed

Sounds good or else I might turn up in my Sharan! Also Doc why always on a Wednesday? I always have to cut short for footie training

Sorry Kevin, just picked out of thin air,.. would everyone prefer Tues/Thurs?

Joe

Wednesdays have always been traditional... something about 'winding up Kevin' IIRC

Either of your suggestions is fine by me.

Neil

Sorry Guys - hadn't seen this thread.
I'll see you there.

Sounds good to me,not too far from Chelmsford. Hopefully have my bonnet sorted by then too

Cool, excellent welcome

Looks like its going to stay on wednesday Kevin then

So we've got

doctorfrag
Barnacle
Hedge
whatmoretyres
mrc
bockers
jimo
sugarbear
Kenno
Kevin
Tabs

Joe

Its a no from me Doc, I have my bike test on the Thursday and will be needing an early quiet night in. I will come to one meet one day though

Any of you guys fancy some Gliptone?

I recently bought 5 litres of the stuff and it's slowly dawned on me that that may be just a tad excessive. Der.

I paid 75 quid for 5 litres. I don't really need more than 1 litre myself, for the time being. I'd prefer to offload it "locally", as it were, to save the aggro of posting it/ collecting money etc.

So, if you fancy it - 250ml/ 500ml/ 1 litre - let me know. If there's zero takers I'll shift it via the Group Buy section.

Cheers

I'll have a litre

Cool. What I'll do is just bring it with, along with a few plastic bottles of varying sizes. Tabs, you've bagged the first litre though.

Just to re-iterate, I'm not looking to make any dough out of this, just re-coup what I've shelled out. So, 1 litre shall be £15 etc etc...

I'll have a litre too please

Luvvly jubbly, thanks Hedge

Ok, 3 litres gone now. One left. See you all next week. Cheers.

Good news and bad news.
Bad news is I can't make the meet
Good news is the reason I can't make it is my coop will be in the body shop (at last!) getting a new(ish) bonnet fitted! No more will I feature on coop spotting threads as the portofino with the caved in front!

Hedge - As I won't be there feel free to sell my litre of glipto to anyone else who may want it. Guess I'll have to buy mine through the usual channels.

No probs, there's no rush.

I wanted a litre too

Kevin, you can have a litre, no worries...

Kevin, am I picking you up on weds?

Cool, looking forward to Wednesday night :), I'll see if Andy fancies coming along as well

Joe

Damn that means I'd better wash the car tonight, got it all dusty over the weekend

Neil

I think I'm going to give this a miss, I don't think I can stand going in the shed

Got the coupe back this weekend, so no need Neil. Thanks very much for the offer though

What time are we meeting? I have to go to W Garden City - Gosling sports centre for footie, how far is that Joesph?

Another map: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&...077871,0.160675

I'll be coming down Harpenden Road because Batchwood seems to be jammed at the lights there every time I go that way.

Kevin, I'm assuming 19:30 as usual. You're halfway to WGC if you start at St Albans rather than Hemel.

Alex, since Kevin has spurned my attentions, I can pick you up if you want?

Neil

yep, 730pm, only 10 mins drive from gosling stadium Kevin

Joe

Just heard back from 20vtAndy, he's coming along

Joe

Are we eating at this place?

I do hope so

Yes is the answer, but as a Coupe owner you may bring your own pack lunch if your maintenance budget is killing you

I wish. Maintance so far has consisted of 1 pair of wipers @ £1 and 1 x 4 wheel trims @ £9.99!

Lol wheel trims!

Nice one re Andy was about to give him a call.

Neil/anyone else from St Albans city centre where do I go? Towards Sainsburys or towards the station?

I'm still coming but i'll be coming in around 8.30/9pm! See you all there, Mr C

family crisis means that I wont be attending

sorry to hear that, hope it works out!

Right, I'm leaving work soon, going back to get changed then on my way, will be leaving stevenage around 7, so shoudl be there by 730

see everyone there!

Joe

Good meet and good turn out last night,..thanks to everyone that came!!

I think Ken forgot there was a meet last night!

nice head unit Kevin

Funny we spent so much time talking about all the repairs and money we are spending on the cars..lol

joe

Joe etc

Good to meet you all and to see some Coops at last.

Was a bit of an eye-opener for me. Felt so out of my depth re all the technical stuff you were talking about. All I ever tend to do to mine at the weekend is clean it, less re-build it, like it sounds more-or-less others do!

Still, gotta start somewhere. Must resist to mod, must resist.....

Hedge

Good meet thanks for organising Joe - Just try to avoid Wednesdays next time and I'll stay longer.

Hedge thanks for the gliptone will try and use some this wknd.

Ahh cr@p. Sorry Joe, completely forgot.

I'll definitely be there next time. I want to try that paddle clutch of yours.

Hi,

Shame I missed this. I'm too busy at work these days to check the forum, let me know next time you have a meeting.

Squid, we've got a meeting last week!

Neil

Can't believe i missed another local meet.

Did anyone get any photos of the Coupes all together?

Sorry Joe I could not make it

The car was sold and I am still looking for a cheap run about

I have got to get my house sorted and then on the market which means another car by the time its sold
