Convoys. What on earth? Why?
Discussion
As the title.
If there is a meeting or show, a lot of people want to travel in convoys. Why is that? I am genuinely interested as I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that. Showing off? Turning up mob-handed? dunno.
Harley riders love it for some reason too.
On a personal note, I prefer to go alone. Don't mind a bit of a dust up with another car, but otherwise no.
So please explain this to me..........

Did this for a club event once, started of with around 60 cars and ended up with about 5.
Whole thing was a nightmare and not too mention dangerous at times with cars going slow on the motorway waiting for the backmarkers, then others trying to catch up at 130+.....

Broken down, lost? Use a mobile 'phone, perchance?
I can understand meeting at a services or whatever and arranging where you will next meet etc. Otherwise no thanks - but each to their own.
Oh dear.
OK. I have plenty of friends - doesn't mean I have to drive with them, does it?
I am not asking to be convinced or trying to "get it" - just a genuine anthropological question, that is all.
Not criticising either.
I really enjoy meeting with other petrol heads - lost count of the number I spoke with yesterday at the SS.
Should have known that some would get all defensive, usual PH stuff.
My question has been fairly well answered by some. Thanks.
