Thought I'd add this as a new thread so it doesn't get missed - don't want to step on any toes however, not being from Kent myself or having my own TVR cry

Anyway, I think it would be a good idea for those from Kent to arrange a convoy through the tunnel to meet up at Thurrock services with the Essex lot... there must be more than 2!

I had suggested on another thread that a prelim meet for us Kent boys might be at Nells cafe lorry park on the A2 then a good driving through the tunnel to meet up with the Essex group sounds good to me! hehe

Sounds great, where is the cafe, and what time do you suggest?

Marvelous! Knew there had to be more than 2 TVRs in Kent!

FTR I'm in Essex, though I know that santas little helper is chomping at the bit to help you guys out with your convoy to meet us at Thurrock, just the other side of the dartford tunnel.

I live just the other side of Bapchild behind the Mitsubishi garage, could meet you there, then drive up to Nells cafe to meet the others.

Will you accept a 'foreigner' from Sussex?

I will be coming up from Battle (near Hastings) so have a bit of flexibility on where I pick up your convoy.
I am new to this sort of thing so don't know what the form is and how things get sorted out.

Foreigner? You've a bloody TVR man! Why not join up at Bapchild, its a fairly straight route from Hastings. By the way this will be my first "convoy" as well, should be ACE!

Plug, how long from bapchild to thurrock should we give it an hour, what with meeting up at the Cafe first. What time are the essex crew getting to thurrock?

That looks good to me - Autoroute says its just under the hour to Bapchild then 35 mins to Thurrock services.

Will keep an eye on postings for times - hopefully all the connections can be put on this thread.

Well as we all need to be at the Ace Cafe by 12 midday (The ACE Café, on the North Circular a mile from Hanger Lane www.ace-cafe-london.com/)I would suggest a meet for those heading on the A2 at abt 9.00 then set off for Thurrock via the tunnel at 9.20? get there just before 10 I guess, what do you all think?

Nells Cafe is on the A2 London bound, take the Gravesend East (first exit after the services) follow slip road round and over the A2 turn right at the T junction and immediately right into the lorry park

Vicky can you let us know the Essex times as soon as you can? You can email me on my profile

Men of Kent, Kentish Men and Johnny Foreigner! I am going to make one of the label things that people are flogging on here with your pistonheads name on it. Simply laminate it and stick to screen with white tac. If you are interested I can do you one, see pic:
