Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
August 27th is my birthday.
Gaydon is a bit far from here. Although I appreciate the ex-pats are coming back to England for this meet, I don't think I could manage to drive that far from here, certainly not in one sitting You're talking a 9 hour drive, assuming the roads are congestion-free.
My trip to York last year was more than enough driving for one day.

Why not? (I'll be needing a haircut by then).plod wrote:Gaydon is favourite with the coupe club for meets
I guess if we could get enough cars, they "might" make an area available to us
Either that or ask if the coupe boys are holding one around that time, and we muck in with them ?

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
Do we need to factor in a nearby hotel that charges by the hour?
Did I say that out loud?

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
In the boot of my Coupe I currently have four 15" alloys and a stainless steel exhaust backbox off my old car, and I still have room for my laptop bag, the stuff I need for installing network gear in warehouse/workshop environments (size 12 steel toe-capped safety boots, hi-viz vest, hard hat, etc), screwdriver set, some CDs, and even several bags of shopping.steve_earwig wrote:It's so they can get more than one corpse in the back at a time
And that doesn't include the stuff I can load on to the back seats, too!
Who says you need a wardrobe-on-wheels in order to have a roomy and practical car
<ducks to avoid the next volley of sharp/heavy objects thrown by hearse drivers>
OK I'll stop now

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
Washing machine? That's what home delivery is for
As for a complete interior - funny you should say that, there was a thread on the Coupe Club forums where someone had done exactly that - and had room for some other bits and pieces too. On my way to look for it...

Re: Right you 'orrible lot!
Only just saw that as Google Maps wouldn't show when I use the Pay & Go dongle, but will now I'm home for the weekend. Reckon we should try to keep that saved so that we can get a proper member map going. Doggy's only a 30min drive from where I'm training at the mo! Not too many people in the South though. Seems to be a large cluster of 406 owners in the Midlands.steve_earwig wrote:Does this work? http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en& ... 817383&z=6
