Ment to be 155

But he said my clutch was slipping, and judging by my pull aways and the fact that its been biting right at the top of the pedal i would have thought he was correct. Theres not really many ways you can just lose 20 BHP without being able to notice a problem and i dont seem to have a problem keeping up with things that offer the same performance IE Sams MX5 and other Racing Pumas

Its a chart, its sat in a folder and unlike some i dont sit at home ******* over it every night

Probably

Why not meet at Chieveley? Might be slightly out of your way depending where you are coming from though.

-gem- · 23 Jun 2006 at 21:14

i do believe im joining you all on this one

not driving though, like ide stand a chance... but maybe a bit of ''feminine touch'' will mean better navigation

It's actually on my path, but 110 miles in

I suppose I may as well meet up with some of you there, then. I only have to leave my house at about 5:30 :rolleyes:

Vertigo · 25 Jun 2006 at 10:12

Still not 100% I'm coming but now looking like I may have to drop the gf off on my way down in which case I'd just see you all there and not meet up with the convoy at Frankley. Will let you know for def before the weekend.

Tesla · 25 Jun 2006 at 10:14

People meeting the Bristol crew and the actual Bristol crew catch me on MSN for my Mob. number.

saitrix · 25 Jun 2006 at 10:58

Right I will now be at the Maccy D's at Junction 5 of the M5. Does anyone know what sort of time I need to be there to meet up with the North convoy?

Yeah then go talk to the guys with the Saxo's and Nova's.

Accually one of those would go down well...

remember the burnouts

thebrasso · 25 Jun 2006 at 14:35

Sorry guys but I'm gonna have to pull out. A combination of work that day (later in the day) and lack of funds. Well I can afford to go down there but I really shouldn't be doing it when I need new front discs and pads.

Berger · 25 Jun 2006 at 14:48

Im planning to be at Lymn truck stop (J20) for about 6:30 for a quick stop for money/petrol/toilet/maccys if anyone from Manchester wants to meet me there?

Quick reminder about the North-West & Midlands convoy. Just ensuring everyone knows the stops, and the timetable. We will be leaving Crewe BEFORE 07:30. Heading down the M6, onto the M5, and stopping at Frankley Services between 08:05 and 08:15 AT THE VERY LATEST. From here, we will travel down the M5 until J5, pulling off the M5, and meeting at McDonalds around 08:20-08:25(postcode WR9 7PA). From here it is then straight back onto the M5 and down to J9, and off to powerstation (on time

).

So to Re-Cap:

I will be at Crewe from 06:45am
Leaving at the LATEST of 07:15
Stopping at J3 of M5 between 08:05 and 08:15
Stopping at J5 of M5 (McDonalds) between 08:20 and 08:25
Arriving at PowerStation at 08:45

If anyone joining this convoy thinks that any of the details are incorrect please say so in this thread. I would like to get Saitrix and L0rdMike's mobile numbers (email please), so that I have a contact at each stopping point.

Final Word:

Can EVERYONE who is a part of this convoy please email me confirming that they will be there, I NEED a confirmed list, as I do NOT want to be sat in Crewe waiting for people who are no longer arriving

rolleyes: - yes it has happened before, not naming any names AGW!).

If you feel that you may need my mobile number to let me know on the day, then please EMAIL ME! (email address in sig)

I am really looking forward to this now, and I hope you all are as well

Elliott.

I worked out the above according to a 75mph maximum on the motorway, and the Toll Road was NOT included as that goes the complete wrong way. I'm not sure where you think the M5 is, but it is just after J9 on the M6.

The higways agency show no roadworks and/or obstructions (other than ones that would only affect today) between Crewe, and the M5.

We left at this time last time, and even with getting lost once we were still on time.

EDIT: Can you please remove the quote, and the formatting in your post Gibbo, as it is just overly confusing having it 3 times.

Thought you said you weren't naming any names

I really won't know if I'm attending this until later this week. I really want to come, but can't say for sure at this moment in time.

Sorry guys.
