you must have failed your cock driving test...
ray bans and indicators are major fail points, as is letting people go at junctions. minor infractions include, but are not limited to, driving more than 7 feet from the car in front, checking your blind spot, and using the middle lane of the motorway when there is space in the 'fast' lane

Hmmm I f*cked up then! Would of been easier if I bought a BMW or Audi. On the skoda, the big magnet in the front bumper is a expensive option that work didn't want to pay for. Standard on the BMW and Audi.

walkie talkies could also be useful - if you only have 2, split between front and back could be useful.

4WayDiablo Wrote:right thought id get something together..
convoy start here... tesco north harbour, i suggest a meet point somewhere where the marker is, its out of the way yet easy to access
Address: SOUTHAMPTON RD, SOLENT, PORTSMOUTH PO6 4SR
[attachment=3]
then moving on up to "wisley northbound filling station" / little chef
Gu236pt
[attachment=2]
then carry on up the A3 onto the M25 and Up the M1
stopping off along the way if members want to join the convoy (or we can call ahead as were coming up to locations so they can meet us along the way of this general route)
[attachment=1]
just thinking of somewhere possibly just north of london to meet the london area lot maybe somewhere at the start of the m1? or near luton maybe?
just found this, this is where we met on the way to coventry, toddington services LU5 6HR
[attachment=0]
as for times i think atm were undecided, if people want to get there for a certain time or if people finish work at a certain time then we shall see what we can do
early time wise is ginge is getting the ferry at 1pm so leaving portsmouth at 1:30pm to get to wisley services for around 2:20 pm leaving there at 2:40
luton area for 3:30pm
camp site for approx 5pm
now lets see what time people finishing work will do to that
our end location will be the camp site:
Beechwood Park
Main Road
Elvaston
Thulston
Derby
DE72 3EQ
Is this the route then?

Anyone wanting to convoy, please check and familiarise yourself with the route.
If anyone doesn't want to stick with the conbvoy and meet us an hour down the road, thats fine, just familiarise yourself
