Convoy to Stoneleigh from Yorkshire on Sunday
Hellfire - 29/4/07 at 09:28 AM

After the success of last years turnout, who's up for a convoy down to Stoneleigh on the Sunday?

There will be quite a few people travelling south down the M1, so how about meeting up at Woodall services just like last year, between Junctions 30 & 31.

Maybe even Darren will turn up, if he's fixed his car

Suggest about 9:30 unless any more northern members need a bit longer to get there.

I'd have been up for it but I'm going down saturday.

You'll be camping though Chris won't you? You could always get up early on Sunday, come and meet up at Woodall and then drive back down in convoy

I hadn't thought of that Phil.

I'm still not thinking of it.

Cheers

Chris

BTW - not camping this year I'll be staying in the Locost Hilton - a caravan, but not mine as I'm not old enough to own a caravan yet!

Should be a good place to advertise your car Leigh, unless of course you've already sold it.

If I've got my reg no for then i'll make one in, should have a cob in tow as well (if this is allowed)

I might be able to come, but it will be in the tin top, i still have no exhaust manifold.


car builder - 29/4/07 at 07:52 PM

Leicester Forest East it is then about 10:45ish

Hellfire - 29/4/07 at 09:06 PM

Chris, I've allowed half an hour at Woodall to wait for Darren (He's not even said if he'll be coming yet!)

Still hopeful for about 6 plus though. (Not including tintops) Trouble is though, some seven owners have sold up, some are still building and others are building 'trackday only' weapons

TangoMan - 29/4/07 at 10:09 PM

I'm up for it. Not the best drive down using Motorway but I guess it's the quickest. I usually go A1/A614/A46 as it's more fun.
There is a nice little shortcut to finish, from the Baginton island, which goes through the lanes and cuts a fair bit out. It is also nice to finish with a pleasant drive before hitting the queues.
I am hoping to make it there and back with no problems as the head gasket looks to be on it's way out.

I have a new gasket set but am planning on sorting the head and fitting new cams once Stoneleigh has been and gone.

9.30 at Woodhall sounds OK to me, and I won't be in the tintop

Darren??? It's a challenge to get down and back without a hiccup this year.

Aye up Yprkshire folk!

Due to a change in shifts, it looks like I can come to Stoneleigh!!! Will be leaving the North East on my own (Darren ain't coming out to play). Should get down to Woodall by 9.30am.

Cheers

Mike


Hellfire - 2/5/07 at 09:19 PM

Marlon - 4/5/07 at 09:22 AM

I've had the dvla inspection at 7.30 this morning, getting a phone call at about 2 to go pick up the tax disc and then the plates. Just need to convince the inlaw in the cob to join the fun! I'll confirm my place tonight.

DarrenW - 4/5/07 at 09:02 PM

If i ask nicely Chris will you leave me a van and trailer at Scotch Corner just in case????? The good news this year is that the dizzy cap cant fail this time.
