I think the original thread re the 30th will cause too much chaos for arranging a meeting place en route for owners travelling from the South East and those who need to get a lift etc. So could anyone travelling from down this way, who might be planning to go via the M11 & A14, put their propositions forward to where we could meet to form our convoy. Also those who will be, or likely to be Nobless on the 30th, could make arrangements here too.
I think Stansted had been suggested, which is fine by me. But a bit more detail as to exactly where in Stansted if we want to get this plan in the bag, as I don't know it!
Also, a few weeks back when the thread started, Steve (2.5bluenob) thought he might not have his car back from Jetstream in time. My offer for a lift is still open, but confirmation is needed asap. If Steve is now sorted, I have a passenger seat for someone else if needed. I'm in Sevenoaks, 10 minutes from the station and the M25.

I will be coming up from Farnborough, Hampshire and currently have an empty passenger seat if any one needs a lift.

I will be in the Carbon fetish machine, along with my wife so no spare room I am afraid.

For the Stanstead meeting there is a starbucks / Mcdonalds in the services for the M11/A120 (stanstead turnoff)... lets meet there as there is plenty of parking?

Its 1.5hrs drive to jetstream from Stanstead so we need to plan to leave accordingly to arrive when it starts to get the best biscuits smile

Sounds good to me Andy. So meet around 8:15/30am to arrive just after 10:00am?

Maybe thread title should change a bit as people from the south of south east I suspect would go M3 past silverstone to M1?

Possible start a different thread got that?

I'll be going from just east of Basingstoke but up A34 to M40, anyone else going that way?

Martin, I suggest you start a thread for those who will potentially travel via M3/M1, as this thread states M11/A14. Then there could be another for M40 people. It will probably keep it a bit tidier. What do you think?

I will be starting at the bottom of the A21 so could meet you near Sevenoaks?

That would work for me. The A21 runs between Weald village where I live & Sevenoaks. You & I could arrange a time to leave here if you like.

Myself, Jed and Ian are possibly meeting near Jun 11 M25 as they are Woking way and I'm Reigate.

However it sounds like you guys are running around the M25 the other way. Perhaps we will pass enroute. Although doubtful I'll ever catch up to Andy ;-)

Do you want to give Jetstream a call to find out the likelihood? Or even if it will be, as the day is approaching fast, you could still jump a lift to save the expense in going to get it.

And I'd meet the two of you in the lay by just past Morleys Roundabout (Sevenoaks turn off).

I know where that is. What sort of time?
