Pistonfest convoy

[burriana]

[quote=minimaxyou git. you own one of my dream cars!

I had two model cars that I coveted during my schooldays...one was a yellow 348ts and the other was a white carrera with red fuchs alloys...bastard!

I now await your next purchase of an aston martin vantage from 1994 (in red) and you will have owned all the cars on my to do list! [/quote]

Soz Tom!

Well, if you break down before P.Fest you are welcome to gadge a lift from LFE ... Warren might have to take your tent mind you!

[minimax]

awfully kind of you enrique i'd have to get up to LFE now that I live in the smoke and to be fair, not sure i'd want to leave my passenger behind even though I covet your motorcar

We have been tending to use Woodhall for the last 18 months or so now as it is handy for people coming down the M1, the A1, the M18 and Sheffield.

Too many meeting points just becomes a hassle, and I think there is already talk of another meeting point further north by the A64.

If I can get the wife out of bed early enough, I'll see you at Woodall services if thats OK with you. If I'm a bit late I'll B*ll*ck straight down to LF.

Leave Woodhall Services, just south of J31 M1 southbound @ 9.45
to drive down to meet the Midlands guys at LFE (we should get to LFE for 10.30 so we'll have time there to grab a coffee and have a natter).

Burriana - 3.2 Carrera
The Gofer - Tuscan
Speed8 - Focus
ntel - Tuscan
MDQuinn - Escort Cosworth

The A64/A1 meet is normally the start point. It's the ideal location for York, Leeds and all those further north to meet there and start the convoy. I do hope we include it.

That's the one I was meaning Bob, so adding another stop at Wooley seems a bit pointless when Woodhall is just another 10 mins or so down the road.
