Anybody from Berkshire attending this event in Bristol, if so, do you want to travel in convoy?

Hi Steve, what time where you planning on heading down?

I'm coming on the bike although i'm supposed to be heading down to get there around 9am as its part of the display.

Hi Guy's,

Regarding times, by punching the postcode into Multi-Map, it gives me a time of 1 1/2 hours from Junction 11 of the M4. The gates open at 10am so I will be looking to leave about 8am. I would think that I could be at the Chievley Services Jct 13 (A34 from Oxford) by 8:20. Not sure if those times are suitable for both of you?

Dave, why the bike and not the Tuscan S?

Does it have a Smilie on it so that we can wave?
I'm quite happy to cruise but can't speak for the others if you want to give us a time for meeting nearer the place.

For those meeting at Chieveley, I will be in a Blue Tuscan hopefully parked up near the entrance for easier spotting.

We'll be leaving around 0745 from J7/8 aiming to arrive at 945ish...

Looks like this but a bit dirtier smile

Hi all, seems a few are meeting at Leigh Delamere Services at 08:50 (Swindon area) Wondered if it was worth all meeting up together ? Just a thought.
I'm coming from West London area, so would be good to meet up with as many as poss, on the way.

If we get away from Chieveley at 8:20 we should be about bang on time to catch the group at Leigh Delamere. smile

The bike's meant to be part of the official display, although it depends on the weather at the mo. That said, 90miles on a wet motorway is just as bad in the TVR as on the bike!

If i'm in the car then i'll prob come and join you for the convoy if i'm up in time!
