M6 CONVOY

[planetdave]

There has got to be some good old northern types coming down this way.
I am suggesting (yes you sir and you madam) that we form up at Knutsford or Sandbach services. Anyone got a preference or time frame in mind?

[wavey]

There will be plenty from t northwest area , Its early days yet.

M6 Convoy ??? normally known as tailbacks arent they

[richard sails]

Lets just blast through each service station car park (without stopping) collecting as many TVR's as possible

[PistonFest]

Anybody got a video camera????

[planetdave]

O.K. Dennis, shattit.
You have been identified as a shandy drinker and, as such, are unworthy to peel my spuds.
And Richard
are you blond? 'Blasting' thru the sevice stations is all well and good but might be missed by those coming from the frozen wastelands (that's Scotland to you) if you dont let them know when.And then there is the small matter of me being in the 'pony and trap' (I'm not worthy)
And then there is the routing problem.

Knutsford Services 9.30am Saturday morning - Phew how's that for focus - off to calm down with a whisky now

[planetdave]

Thank you Ren.
Sorry folks, but I'm getting lathered up already (Nurse; the screens)

Its not that difficult, if we know what time the most northerly cars are setting off you can estimate what time they would pass each service station, then make sure you are waiting at the service station before that time, when a group of TVRs pass then you get in your car and catch them up. Easy, simple and works...

PS I am not blond, but from your comment above I wonder about you?

[planetdave]

I just wish I was, the mysteries of life would pass me by much easier that way. Unfortunately I come from a background that cherishes a bit of organisation, without it the lowest common denominator triumphs.

O.K.

let's reboot the SOH

Latest thinking is leaving Knutsford services 9.30 ish. (so be a touch earlier)

Anyone want to do a bit of extra mileage and take in some more roads near the venue

eg leaving M5 @ J6 going A4538

Sorted i will be there at 9 30 , get down early set up camp , have a beer n watch all the nice motors arriveing...

[chim450]

OK, just over a week away now. How many people are meeting at Knutsford services on Saturday am? What is the general consensus on what time to meet? (9.30 or 10.30).

I shall be attending in the Chim with my mate in his S2000, looking forward, should be a good crack.

9.30

[victormeldrew]

OK, just booked tickets. Because of work arrangements, and picking up my wifes new ride (Audi A2) There'll be four of us in three cars - what a waste of fossil fuels! Chim 400 (Red), Audi A8 and Audi A2. Will be swapping the Audis for a blue Chim 500 (Speed 12 conversion) when we get to Rugby.

My 3 yr old son Alex is going to be hyper when he sees a convoy of TVR's. Shame he won't be able to make the event itself ... maybe I could just put him on the parcel shelf of the Chim!!! (only kidding)

[Postcript]Won't be able to make it after all. Alex will have to make do with spotting lone TVR's on Saturday PM instead!

Knutsford 9.30 sounds good, just prey to God my TiV is ready otherwise I will be the guy sulking at the back in my Corsa 1.2. Thinking about it might just bumble down on my own and keep out of the way of you big boys.


SHJeses I hope she's ready been looking forward to this for months
