They usually live, as you might expect, on the B pillar, but one must have got disturbed by a flailing mitt and hasn't found it's way back home yet frown A temporary home was in the cool of the air vent.....

Your suggestion of injecting life into them sounds quite Shelley-esque shocked

I just showed my daughter that, and she asked if they were real and then said-

'Weird...'

You don't have to be!

Any sign of repair work on the horizon..?


No real signs of it yet Jim and new job starts tomorrow so may take my mind off it for a day perhaps.

Of the 'mate'! Ha! That happens to other people as well as me!

I was wondering who the mate might be,

But now, I understand it's our mutual 'four-laned friend'....

Hey Guys!

Hope everyone well. Have been reading up on your North tour and wish I was able to attend but unfortunately I have to work.

This is a wee shout out if any of you fancy another trip "doon the watter" with your Coupes.

A friend of Cowal Vintage Transport Club saw all of us last year and was pretty impressed with the sight of six Coupes going through the town.

Every year on the last weekend in August Dunoon hosts

Cowal Highland Gathering

and the car club turns out with loads of vintage cars, tractors etc. on the Friday (25th August this year) and they park up at various points around the town for folk to have a wee gander.

Classic Car Display

Our Coupes have been cordially invited to come along as modern day classics and take up a spot on the day.

If anyone fancies it let me know. It's generally a great weekend of entertainment Friday to Sunday. Would love to see some of you over.

Cheers!

Another trip this way very tempting, however the Classic Car Display I see is on a Friday which is likely to prevent my attendance - and possibly others..... frown

However a Saturday/Sunday meet has a good chance smile

Yes...the Friday not ideal for those that still have to work. It actually used to be the Thursday back in the day due to the number of pipe bands that were involved. The event has scaled down quite a bit since the Grade 1 pipers stopped coming.

It's a great event though but unfortunately I'll not get to enjoy it too much as I'm working Saturday from 4pm and Sunday from 2pm.

Plenty of time to get that toil built up and in for the Friday!!!

Hiya!

Just a wee reminder that this event is coming up at the end of August.

Let me know if anyone fancies coming down and I'll make sure they save us a wee spot.
