Sign in here if you fancy arriving in convoy. I have a plan to pick up those heading south on the A19 and those heading south along the A1. If you're interested please say so here and I'll e-mail you your pickup points.

I'm up for it, I'm asking everyone including my supervisors for the day off (probably the last one I can successfully take like this). I'll sort it though!

A mate Dave is defintely coming along this time. When you talk about "convoy" are you suggesting breaking motorway limits by significant amounts?

No! Convoys are really not like that. The only time there's a problem is when junctions etc. split us up. Then those at the back start to have trouble getting back in line. The trick is to be near the front.

thats ok then - I'm terrified of getting (potentially more now ) points on my licence you see... always try to keep to speed limits (fecking hard at 70 since 3k5rpm is the oh-so-sweet spot in the engine).

I'll be heading down the A19, but if the majority are heading down the A1 (meeting at Safeways on Team Valley etc) then I can change plans.

Fine in principle, alas I'm never anywhere on time, so don't count on it
Down to Ripon, bypass Harrogate? Or did you fancy taking in a cruise past HHC?

Cool pic Bob. Will look forward to seeing it. Pity I won't be around. The Tiv's still off the road.

P.s Do you want a Banner/Title for your site? I'd be more than happy to know one up for you.

Front page is somewhat similar to yours. When I was putting it together I kept returning to this theme. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
