N/West convoy to Stoneleigh
adithorp - 2/4/11 at 08:46 PM

Following on from the other Stoneleigh thread...

Who's up for a North West convoy on the Sunday morning?

Meeting say M6 Sandbach services early doors. Sandbach allows people to converge from different areas before travelling on together. Return is best done adhoc rather than try and return together.

According to here: http://www.grosvenorshows.co.uk/html/national_kit_car_motor_shows.html
£15 on the door
Free if you drive and arrive in a kit car & £10 for passenger in a kit car...hmm, potential money maker here maybe?

It'll be fine. You have to be positive when you go out; "Less of the like negative waves". It shouldn't use that much oil though. Whats Andy doing to it?

I'll be there before 9 with a bit of luck so I can get a coffee. I'd like to get on the road soon after 9 if possible so we get to Stoneleigh well before lunch.

hi mate.. yeah i will be there for about 8.30 to have a brew first.. how long do you think it will take us? considering we will have to stop for fuel quite often ha... yeah i have had real bad luck with the propshaft vibrating loose mate.. andy got me a resiliant propshaft from bailey morris and lined it up for me but had few probs since with it... hes working his magic on it as we speak.. hopefully i should be back on the road by then...


adithorp - 14/4/11 at 04:05 PM

Were are you getting petrol at 80p/ltr? Well if I guess I'll get plenty of coffee on the way down.I'll be a gibbering wreck with all the caffine...

Sorry, was meant as a joke....maybe you're quite a bit younger than me, but there used to be a song about a convoy - quite a few years ago....


adithorp - 30/4/11 at 06:50 PM

Just home from holiday. See you there tommorow at 9.
