Morning all,

We are going to meet at Telford services with the plan to leave there by 8,30 as our first stop will be for some coffee and breaky on the horse shoe pass and it will also mean we get to drive some nice roads and won't be late when we all start heading for home, (hope every one is ok with that)

If you drive to the back of the services there is a carpark that sits up on a bit of rise, We can meet up there plus might worth topping up with fuel.,,

Some nice cars on the list.

David T your more than welcome to join us.

Hi guys, hope you had a great drive out. I too was at the Evo triangle today and kept an eye out for your group, I think I saw you guys turning right off of the A5 towards the triangle. I was in a dark blue Z4 E89 that some had to give way for. We had a fantastic day and hope you did too.

As Simon says it was not us, We will probably stop in that same car park on triangle though,

Hi tim,

Just to clarify the meeting point tomorrow and because I'm not from the area, is the services the welcome break just before Telford? Also do you have a contact number you could share by personal message if preferred in case there are any problems etc. I'm coming from Oxford so should be nicely warmed up by 8.30!

I live 20 minutes from the Telford Services and the location is just off Junction 4 M54 heading west.

Edited to add (also posted by Tim earlier) drive past the fuel pumps (on your left) and you will approach the car park - stay to the left and you will see the raised parking area ahead of you.

Morning chaps,

Due to the somewhat adverse weather conditions this morning, and the Trev not wanting to play ball I wont be able to make it. Hope you have a good and safe run up to the triangle.
