I ran it through Google's translator, it spent 10 minutes trying to detect the language but failed, I note that the OP comes from Yorkshire so I asked my mate Kev from Hull to translate it for me, he had to get some help from his nephew but between them they finally cracked the code.

They think that the OP is asking - if anyone is going to the FCS Trax show (or similar events), he would like to meet up with them.

This thread seems to have drifted into some foreign language

Went last year. Drunken farmers ahoy.
Got the leftovers of the burger vans as we were there as it finished.
Hard to read writing was an attempt at communication.

FWIW, fcs = French Car Show, which I happen to know is on the 1st w/e of the 6th month in this year of grace, 2011 at venue about 1/2 mile from yours truly.

Indeed, any of my fellow townsfolk, who are not taking the sensible precaution of sleeping late on this fateful morn are likey to be subjected to a 406 coupe procession, (since they have taken to forming up outside the local Argos clearance warehouse, for some reason).

Anyone know the collective noun for several coupes?

A few suggestions:
A convoy of coupes
A colony of coupes
A culture of coupes
A clash of coupes
A clowder of coupes
A clutter of coupes
A (replacement) clutch of coupes
A chattering (tappets?) of coupes
A cast of coupes
A charm of coupes
A catch of coupes

I would translate it as:

"Good day to you fine ladies and gentlemen. Are any of you fine fellows appearing at a selection of the plethora of travelling curiosity bazaars of autonomously propelled horseless carraiges such as the FCS Trax wonder exposition? If this scenario rings true, we should rendez-vous and arrange a strategy."

I think you missed off a crash of coupés

There's also a cloud but I guess that would be diesels

Oooh look, there's a whole list of them on Wiki

How about "a knob of Escorts"?

A Cloud of "tuned" DTurbo 306s

The easiest thing to do at this point would be a BMW/Audi quip.
