I'm looking at McDonalds Monkspath B90 4EL about 8, coffee, with a view to getting moving by half past.


M42 - M6 - A14 and so on looks a bit dull so I've come up with this:

Could do a twiddly bit to start but should one or two of you care to join me I thought keep it easy so still M42 as far as A45

Onto A45, past Coventry then left onto A4071 just before M45

through Rugby and out on the A426, cross M6 and towards M1 junction 20

Pick up A4304 to Market Harborough

then it's the A427 to Corby

final leg, A43 to Stamford

Nothing "set in stone"...... if you like the idea of a mini convoy but know some better roads shout up!


This is not just for S's, all and any TVRs welcome (but stay at the back) biggrin

Depends on how much time you've got Mike... From Harboro:
Direct 48 mins https://goo.gl/maps/djqWu
Good 52 mins https://goo.gl/maps/Yp21J
Best 55 mins https://goo.gl/maps/tpr5k

For the sake of an extra 7 mins I know which route I'd take driving

I'm 15-20 mins away from MD Shirley but am meeting 12 others at 9am CV2 2SR and then a route planned from there taking the less straight forward way driving

I'm Sure you would be more than welcomed to join our convoy but you would be the only "S" if that bothers you.

If your interested I will pass on more details... Regards Jas

Hi, guess you could be passing via Kettering at about the time the Northants TVRCC lot are planning to leave from the Trading post (www.tradingpostpub.co.uk‎):

and then we could take the 55 min route up the 6003 etc (scenic route) as per longers :

Would be nice to arrive in a larger convoy ...? If it works , see you at the trading post in Kettering about 10 ish ...don't know the turn out yet for Northants ...but it's normally healthy ...and I'll be there !smile

I would join you all, but it looks like the slave cylinder has gone for the third time in a 1,000 miles, so the car is stuck at home and no Burghley for me.
I'm getting royally annoyed with this car now frown

Advice taken, thanks Ian.

Appreciate the offer Jas, no problem mixing it with other TVRs but keeping a dozen or so cars together will be fun enough, as long as I get a couple of "takers" we'll do our own little thing thanks.

That's a bu**er, hope you find out what's going on before you get through too many more!

Ok Mike,

Have a good run and enjoy the day,looks like you have some company now.

But if all fails it's that post code I posted "ToysRus" car park thumbup

Would of been nice to have an S in the group to brake the theme up a bit as we have a big majority of 10 Chims rolleyes
