Hey all, looks like a few last minute changes in my plans mean that i am avaliabe saturday so will be bringing the wedge up to BBWF for Saturday!

I can't seem to see a plan for a convoy in the south east?? It's been a few years since I did BBWF but there used to be a great meet at High Wycombe on the Saturday morning...

Any ideas??! Cheers!

Solitude (Gav) & I are meeting up at the BP in Mill End, opposite the Tree Pub at 8.30am.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=WD3+8DS&ll=51....

Should see us arriving at the BBWF at 10 - 10.30am.

Full address:

BP Connect
317 Uxbridge Road
Mill End
Rickmansworth
Hertfordshire
WD3 8DS

If you are coming up from Godalming you may prefer something on the M40, we could pull in and pick you up at the Shell Petrol station at the Beaconsfield Services around 9.00am?

Beaconsfield Services
Windsor Rd, Hedgerley,
Beaconsfield,
Buckinghamshire
HP9 2SE

Let us know what you think.

Dave (Crimson Chimaera) & Gav (White 350 Wedge).

If you can work out an ETA for junct 10 M40, I'll join you (suppose I could bumble down to Beaconsfield if that's a def meet )

Well done mani!! That's awesome news!!

You should have said you were getting married, I could have sorted a wedding car for you! I picked up a new toy las weekend to keep the wedge company - 1975 rolls Royce silver shadow!! We thought some of the engineering on the wedges was weird....!!!!

Meeting wise, we could meet on the m40-are we planning to just blast up there? I'm happy to do that and just arrive rather than going doing the houses, especially as I am there only fir the day....

Didn't fancy a "wedge fest Wedding" then? I'm sure a place like Ettington would have the facilities....lol

Hope your day goes well.

OK, here's the plan.

Solitude (Gav) & I will pull in at Beaconsfield Services at 9.00am ish.

If there are any TVR's lurking at the Shell petrol station then please tag on, we will be pulling straight back out onto the M40.

I am happy to come off briefly at junction 10 too, but again this will be a quick loop, pick up any TVR's lurking on the A43 round about and back on the motorway, this would likely happen at about 9.30am.

A convoy would be fantastic but I would hate to see people hanging about, getting to BBWF is the focus.

Tag on or see you there, either way it should be a great day.

I'm not really familiar with that junction TBH AlanW.

I suggest you lurk in the A43 round about area and listen out for us coming.

We will come off the M40 at J10 do a loop of the round about, and then straight back on the M40 to continue our journey, tag on and we have a convoy.

It should be approximately 9.30 - 10.00am when we get to J10, but there are so many variables I don't want to make any firm guarantees.

Hope it works though, a TVR convoy is always fun.

I am in a Chim so I will hide at the back, it's a Wedge day after all & I don't want to hijack that.

It seems the Wedgies are the most fun TVR group of all, and they seem to have accepted me even though I forced my way in?
