Anybody travelling down to Virginia Waters?

[polarbert]

I will be, if anyone wants to tag along there more than welcome. Will be trusting my new tom tom to get me there so shouldnt have any problems.

Just say so if you do and we can sort out where to meet!


On the 5th February that is!

I was thinking about it. I have been before when i lived down south, and its always worth getting their early. Which would mean leaving here really early- about 8h -8h30 ish

[Balmoral Green]

Yes, i'm going to go. Early start from Notts then? I wont be in the Bentley as its still in bits, will be going in the Skoda. Which I may well dump and ride shotgun with someone if I can, as the Furby isn't that exciting.

Shall we arrange a meeting point and time?

yeah can do, i was thinking of going down the m1, i think thats the fastest way, trusty old tom tom i've just got, although if anybody knows a better way...


yeah between 8 and half 8 was when i was thinking also.

we could meet at some services on the M1 or somewhere else? i think theres a services between junction 25 & 24 southbound, tibshelf i think its called. or we could meet at the junction 24 moto services on the way to donnington, i think that may be easier, i dont know though, open to suggestions!

sit around, look at all the cars, talk about them, take photos, bout it really. it is one of the larger meets though, last year i think there were over 200 cars with anything you can think of being there, i didnt go though unfortunately, hopefully this one will be even better!

right, we will have to arrange somewhere convenient for all of us, we dont want it to be junction 24 services do we? just thinking because some people will have to travel up the motorway to get there

maybe just off junction 22 then?

i've been looking and tried to link on multimap.co.uk, but couldnt seem to do it without a postcode, so decided on google maps

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=leic

junction 22 markfield services

how does that sound? if we plan to meet there at 8.15am? or 8.30am? i dont mind.

let me know what you think of the place

[polarbert]

just to make it a bit clearer for the intended meet point heres a satellite photo:



and a map from multimap of the junction




so hows this place?

[BossCerbera]

May well be able to join you from M1 J14.

Sorry to go O.T especially as an interloper from the South but Boss do you know what you are coming down in yet. If not any chance I could put in a request for the Espada, really would like a gander at it in the flesh - maybe however you will be on "Marcos Duty" again which in itself is no bad thing I suppose.

[paddy27]

8:15 or so sounds fine to me.
Just means i have to drag my sorry ass out of bed at about 6amish.
Ah well. Should be worth it.

Regards

Paddy

[polarbert]

is the meeting place okay for you?

[williamp]

Warren. If I go, can you get to the Motorway junction. If so, I can drive us both from there.

And yes please for the Espada. Would look great in convoy with mine.

Can't make this one mate up at mams, but having you darn sarth could be ideal for one of vixpy's rolling road days and a night out in Guildford.(the forrester and firkin is a bit like the steamboat, student bar)
We can chat next friday mate.

Is fine for me, where at the services will everyone meet though??

I probably wasn't paying enough attention - I assumed you were going to VW via the Tunnels. I'm going via the Tunnels.

Not sure what I'll drive down yet - probably the Boss Cerbera. Won't be the Espada though - too early in the year.

i wasnt planning on it, just my tom tom has said that down the m1 is the most direct route to M1, can do the tunnels if other people want to.

if not you can still join us down the m1!
