Hi,

Is anyone meeting in Southampton on Sunday morning and driving up to Silverstone?

Would be good to drive up in a group.

Strife: I was planning on making my way up after work on Sunday Morning after calling in at Blackbush Market for a bacon buttie or two. Could meet up with you somewhere along the A34 if you like. I assume that's the way you're going.

yorkkie: No tickets as yet. I'm sure Stu will have them to us before the end of the week.

Anyone know what time the event starts on Sunday?

Yup, definitely keen on that.

Will be coming from Portsmouth. Need to build a list of pickup places along the way, along with phone numbers. Don't mind putting that together, if people want to send me the details to jason aaaattt flightpoint.com

Ah yeah, forgot to mention, got my tickets today via registered mail. Thanks Stu, the tickets look very swanky..

Cheers
Jace

Hi Jace,

I suggest for Southampton's pick up point, The Mayflower Park at Town Quay on the Water Front.

Don't know what time is best, just know it's early :-)

drop me an email and I will reply with contact details, email is: david_p_marshall_AT_yahoo.co.uk

Cheers
David

Plan B which I hope does not eventuate.. anyone from south with two spare seats if my tyres aren't done by Fri night? (I can't go up there with my yellow bicycle wheel on!)

HSVGTSCoupe, I can meet you in Abingdon if you like and join the convoy there. If she's not ready, and god I hope she is, I can pick you up from your flat. If she is ready I can meet you at either McDonnalds, Tesco, B&Q, or Homebase carparks. Email me off line to discuss further.

Change of plan at my end, ukhsv is very kindly collecting us, so I will look forward to seeing you all there.

You are wondering what about the car, well I hope to collect it Saturday, maybe have it delivered to Silverstone.

Southampton Airport is easier for me and if no one else is meeting in Mayfair Park it will be easier for us all.

I will meet you at the Airport.
EH*ROB can you give me directions?

Cheers

I'm in Essex (Nr the M11/Stansted airport) but I might come down to Southampton tonight to join the cruise up to Silverstone on Saturday morning - I hardly ever see any Monaro's on the road - yet alone hsv's! - so it'd be nice to join in.

Do we have any Monaro/HSV owners in Essex?

Whereabouts at the airport? I can be there tomorrow for 6am. Paul. Any chance of a mini-meet tonight in the area? Paul UKHSV, island boy?
