BBWF SE Convoy

[Rockettvr]

Hi all
With just over 2 weeks to the fest I thought id organise a Southern convoy to the BBWF again
Its pretty much the same as last year but there's nothing set in stone here guys so if you've a suggestion or you want to join at some point en- route etc just shout
Provisional route pretty much follows as last year :-

Meet at Thurrock services around 8 for a 8:15 depart
Follow M25 north bound (anticlockwise) to M40
M40 to Beaconsfield services arriving around 9:30
Stretch legs an refuel leaving beaconsfield around 9:45 ish
Take M40 north bound onwards arriving at the BBWF around 11

As said only loose timings etc I think we can be a bit flexible if needed
Please post up or PM me just so we know your coming
Hope there'll be a few of us the more the merrier !

Thanks all
Ron

P.S. Zig - are you aware of any Griffs attending ? May post a link in the griff forum to see if they want to join in the fun.

Ron, is this for Friday or Saturday?

[Rockettvr]

Hi Paul
For the Saturday
I can't do the whole weekend unfortunately so just going up Saturday morning and returning Saturday evening but obviously its open to anyone travelling up on Saturday morning regardless if they're staying over or not

Post away mate...I don't get much response so give it a go.

I thought this was only for SE wedges and mine is an SX... ;^)

350i's and 280's can have their own convoy....

Ron I will not be able to attend this year's Fest due to holiday and the car not being finished until the 6th July earliest.

I am sure we can meet up at some stage once the car is back

Hi martin
Glad to have you joining me - not had much response so far so thought I might be billy no mates on the drive
I've also posted on the griff forum but not much response there either
Chris is out and I've messaged Maston but he's yet to come back to me.
Hoping to get a few more join before the fest

Hi

I might join you for the Convoy - just got the Wedge through an MOT after just over a year off the road, and will be taxing it on Wednesday, and got a bit of time on Thursday to take a test drive, so if it all goes well will join up with you either somewhere along the M25 (I will be joining it at 21A, the M1 junction) or at Beaconsfield services.

Will confirm on Thursday evening!

Wow - blast from the past!
Would be good to see you again to join in the (at the moment small) convoy.
Hope no gremlins appear on the test drive
Will firm up details later in the week
Any more wishing to join ???

Yep hello Jon..Glad to hear you are coming again...I would join you Ron but for obvious reasons..I can't...

[billynobrakes]

I might meet you at Thurrock services in my Griff, but I have an issue that might prevent me from coming I will let you know later in the week, I would come back Saturday afternoon though probably about 4 ish

The more the merrier
I'll try to firm everything up on Thursday evening
Tends to be that we travel up in a group then leave as and when we want so no worries if you want to leave early or stay on longer than the rest
I'll PM my Mobile number to all who show an interest in coming then to act as a point of contact
Looks as if the weather is going to be a bit better than last years monsoon

Hi Alan

You can rendezvous with us at Beaconsfield services if that's any good ??
Should be there 9:30 am ish ???
