Gaydon convoy's

Post Wed Aug 17, 2005 12:50 pm

first off i should have probably put this thread in the meets section
but i wanted more people to see it
hope you dont mind mods

was just talking to beeem318i about Gaydon
and we was wondering if there are any convoy's starting off in
east/central London that we could join on to

anyone got any ideas?

M25 j20???

Post Wed Aug 17, 2005 7:19 pm

Zaust, i've been trying to get peeps to meet from Essex but don't think i'm having much luck. I'm going past your way, who's meeting at J20 and what time you leaving?

what time will ya be there dude

M25 J20 is Abbots Langley.

From where Tylerma and me are heading from on a Sunday morning, the quickest route is the A406 anti-clockwise round to Wembley joining the A40 near Perivale and then straight on to the M40 J1. Alternatively, the A40 from West London. At about 06:00hrs on a Sunday, I don't expect much traffic and no Congestion Charge

It's then a straight run up to Warwick Services to meet everyone else at 08:30hrs.

We can meet peeps at the M25 J16 (M40 J1A) if that is any good

You lazy git, that's just down the road from you lol
I've been offered to meet some zoner's up at Cambridge but it's a big detour but i will be up for meeting at any junction on the M25 aslong as they turn up.

1) Junction?
2) Time?

zaust - I am happy to meet with you at J23 M25 as it's easy enough for Tylerma and me to drive up A12>M11>M25.

I presume there is a Service Station there as I have not stopped there before. Is there?

Do you have a mobile? Any idea what time to meet in order to get to Warwick for 08:30hrs?

Jonbuoy - can you meet us here also?

Like you I think the Cambridge detour is way off track.

Post Fri Aug 19, 2005 12:08 am

Yes mate, i'll meet up with ya. Not sure myself about service's being at J23 either or what services and where to be honest?

Post Fri Aug 19, 2005 12:22 am

Cheers jonbuoy, let's see if zaust or someone else knows about the services.

In the interim, PM me your mobile number.

Cheers

stevenage little chef! that's where a lot of us met last year

Post Fri Aug 19, 2005 12:46 am

That's still out the way, in actual fact we will be going past you. Why don't we all meet on the M25 near the M40 b'cos mostly everyone's going that way anyway?

OK chaps - can we agree to meet at 06:30hrs on Sunday 21st at South Mimms Services (J23 of the M25)?

I have mobile numbers for zaust and jonbuoy. Tylerma will be in my car with me.

From there straight to Warwick Services for 08:30 and the mega-convoy down to Gaydon.

Can I join in the convoy being an ex e30 owner??

Post Fri Aug 19, 2005 11:07 pm

6:30 it is then.

we can all follow beeem318 at a sencible speed.

Post Fri Aug 19, 2005 11:10 pm

ill be coming with my dad in his b10 as sport and tourer arent really road worthy at the moment---well they are in my mind....

neway ill be missing the convoy but cya all there!

Post Sat Aug 20, 2005 6:30 pm

Imran - do you need to ask??? Course you can join us...but nobody will be able to compete with your ride!

6:30 it is but I ain't leading the way as I am not the best with directions. I am a bit dyslexic with my left and right so Tylerma will be my Sat. Nav. Blame him if we don't get there for 8:30

Zaust - we'll keep it nice and slow mate. It's not the petrol I am fussed about but all the damn midges etc. that'll be stuck to the front of the car that I'll have to scrape off later

Mines filthy. Yours will definitely be cleaner unless I can con someone into washing it for me

I'll probably catch up with u on the M1 as you come past Luton. Last time we did a convoy from the little chef we were standing around for an hour. Prescious sleeping time!

Post Sat Aug 20, 2005 8:41 pm

We are not doing M1 past Luton! We are going via the M25 and then the M40. Much quicker 'cos it's this side of Brum.
