Dont we get 8 names on the list, then 2 of them realize that its for the m6 and not the m1 then everyone gets confused and no one knows whats going on. :grin: :driver:
-
M6 might be abit out of the way, heading towards the M1 with Caz, Richi and maybe Benny.
Will speak with them or hopefully they will spot this and try join the convoy.

Sandbach is J17, the service station is 1 mile further south after the J17 junction. Superchips is 120 miles from my parents post code which is 5 minutes from Sandbach service station and down as 2 hours 20 minutes using the M6, M42, M40 (not the toll road, although should be quiet enough to not need the race track..toll road). So if we wanted to be there for 08:00 we would need to be leaving at around 05:30!!!! OMG!!!!
Although maybe that time could be trimmed down slightly. :happy2:
-
fcuk that, if thats the case then id have to be up by 4.30!!
also im NOT doing the usual toll sprint! :grin: :grin:

You need to be their on time, so stop bleeting and sort it out. :innocent: :signLOL:

We would like if possible to get as many as possible arriving together. :party:
We want to film a great big convoy, so please make every effort. :drinking:
-
are you meeting us?
-
I might be going down the day before. :happy2:
But if not, then most definitely will be convoying. :jumpmove:
-
So are we on for our convoy down? I do think we should go a little bit later as 05:30 is just toooo much for me poor old bones to cope with now you know. :sleepy:

Route should be:
M6 -> M42 (junction 4a)
M42 - M40 (junction 3a)
M40 - At junction 11, take the A422 exit to A361
At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto A422 heading to Middleton Cheney/B4525/Northampton/A43/Brackley
Go through 2 roundabouts
At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto A43
At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit onto A422
Turn right at Bridge St
Continue on London Rd
At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit onto A421
Turn left at Great Slade
Continue on Middle Slade
Turn right at Homestall
Destination will be on the left
Buckingham MK18 1XJ
According to Google! Who knows what peoples satnav's will say, I suggest we take a couple with us. Can include the tollroad if people want to, but seems pointless as the M6 *should* not be busy at 7am in the morning. Although I reserve the right to be held blameless if it is in fact a car park as usual. :innocent:
-
I might be joining you's for a ride down
weather permiting as i''ll be on the bike, so if its nice i'll see you at sandbach

Hello,
I'm only a newbie, and a Scirocco owner at that, but no one on the Scirocco site seems to be coming along from the M6 north way so wondered if I could meet up on the way down. I'll be geting on the M6 at Jct11, will you be stopping anywhere around me on the way down?

I would think we would be able to collect you on the way down mate. Since we are not meant to be using the Tollroad we should be passing Hilton Park which I think is just after J11...been a while I always take the tollroad. :smiley:
I have no idea what time we would come through though. Maybe 30 minutes to get there.....ish depends how quick this lot drive. :surprised:

So, if you folks don't mind I'll aim to be at Hilton Park services about 6.30 (!!!) and meet you there?
Deacon

I may meet at junction 11 also. Seriously though, 6.30? It seems everyone is aiming for 8.00 am then!?!

30 minutes was a guess at how long it takes to get from Sandbach to Hilton Park but I can't see it being to much more than that. Will just put Joe outfront to pull us along at warp speed. :grin:
-
Right fella's may be able to tag along (family doo in Solihull late PM saturday.... :ashamed:) but if can twist the otherhalfs arm I'll come.
If so I'll meet you at Hilton Park.
