im normally up at 6am on week days for work and thats bad enough...

reckon ill be there jst before lunch..

....Don't be such a girl! Ooops! You are one!

It's great getting up at 5 or 6am - Cool to be on the road seeing the dawn - Less traffic too. I love getting up that early and having a nice long day to enjoy. It's 3-4hrs for me to MK, depending on traffic.

I have to agree with the right horrible honourable gentleman as the early morning blast and convoy are one of the best parts of the day!  :happy2:

me caz and the others coming down from the North should be there about 11 - 11:30am ish  :drinking:


The dissapointing thing for me is, my car wont have its bodykit on.

They've got to make some parts since they dont keep a stock.

They will be dispatched the end of this month... reaching me within the first week of June.

Car will take a week and bit in the bodyshop  :sad:


Still - can't complain - least its all full systems ahead now - everythings ordered :smiley:

Dont you need to be there for a safety briefing before they start the day??. If your on the rollers i mean. If your a bourboner/eater then doesnt matter what time you roll in obviously.
I know jkm normally request runners to be there for a briefing, and dont know how superchips do it?

....All the rolling road sessions I've been to have asked everyone to turn up on time and have given a briefing for insurance purposes. Sign a form too.

Look at it from the host organiser's point of view. Would you want everyone drifting in whenever they feel like getting up?

Agree'd, its not everyday we do this, so like all the comments have been said, the later you leave , the longer your journey with more traffic... and the fun of a convoy is always a good fun.
