If you're wanting to convoy up to Pride Of Longbridge, put your name down here!

I suggest we meet at Tothill Services, A34 Newbury Bypass, RG20 9BX. We can fill up on fuel and on McDonalds, and it's along the route that most will be taking anyway:

The beaconsfield/south east convoy is leaving at 8. If we leave the services at 8 o'clock sharp then we should, according to google maps, meet them at the M40/A34 crossover (point B) at exactly the same time:broon:

Not sure if I posted here but unfortunately due to the army being plebs (wow not used that word in ages) and moving dates around I now can't attend.

Fathead (robin) knows how pee'd off I am about this as would have loved to go.


Sorry guys will hopefully see you all at the next south meet.

Map

Here's the plan chaps!

The event starts at 10am till 4pm Post Code B31 2BQ

You will see from the plan that the layout has been changed this year. This has been done mainly to improve access to the park. Entrance A is the normal entrance which will be an IN only. Entrance B is a new entrance that is also an IN, but also is the only OUT from the park.

Cheers.

If we bring the mini as well as the ZT we might just say Hi @ Tothill and then trundle up at our own pace. This is all dependent on me getting it running though, she hasn't run it in nearly 10 months!!!!!

Maybe I should hire a trailer for the day, Lol.

70-75 will be fine mate, if any one does want to hoon of they can just either meet us all there, or slow down once done and wait for us all again lol. I will taking in gently as I have a clutch on it's last legs slipping rather badly :(.

I will also be taking some pictures and will have my go-pro camera on catching some video to :)

Robin did you want to meet at halfords or else were prior to tothill?

we want to cuise at the national speed limit mate, we cant do 60 along the M40. going at NSL wont split us up, we can't all slow down for one car I'm afraid to say. we'll be taking it steady, not overtaking loads of cars and rushing. I'll probably drop back to get some moving photos on the way too
we need to get there at a reasonable time so that we get to longbridge in time and dont hit too much traffic. remember theres going to be hundreds of cars there

You forgot to add J70Paul toy our list of attendees Robin, I'm just planning the journey from mine to tothil so I know what time to leave/get up lol

Be good tomorrow lads, hopefully Bizzle's car is fixed in time because on Wednesday his HG went pop so it went in for repair with him begging for it to be done by today so fingers crossed everyone!!
