Anyone driving down from scotland on the wednesday ?????

[tvr driver]

Hi am driving from scotland on the wednesday but staying overnight at a mates just outside the m25 but still a 5/6 hour drive so wondered if anyone else is heading down
( especially if you have a road angel fitted !!! )

[miniandy]

Me! By the sound of it you're doing the same journey as me. Where are you leaving from?

Driving down from Leeds on Wednesday

Overnight Portsmouth Ferry

Hi Mini Andy

I will be leaving from Stirling so driving right by your door (m74) on the weds around 11 / 12 am i should think - two of us in a griff going as far as the M25 as staying with mates and crossing on the 5.56 am thurs morning in a convoy thats shrinking every year


Two cars are more fun than one so what time are you crossing and planning on leaving ?

[miniandy]

I haven't decided on a time. I have a couple of options for an overnight stop but I am picking up my navigator from Richmond on Thursday morning, and we need to make a 10am ferry - bit more of a sociable hour than yours! If you know roughly when you'll be at the M74/M73 junction, I'll see you on the road! Maybe catch Richard up around Leeds on the way down?

Leaving from Dundee on the Tuesday early afternoon but taking the easy / drunken option - the overnight Rosyth-Zeebrugge ferry

OK TVR Driver

Lets arrange to meet up. Got to go & do work now! Lets plan over w/e??

[RossG]

Useless information - but there are two Mitsubishi Evo's ( an 8 FQ 340 and a 9) leaving Edinburgh on the Wednesday morning to head to our RV in London. I should be with them in my R32, but sadly work calls, so it will be British Airways taking the strain to London, and I will kick back and be a co driver for the rest of the journey.

7.30am tunnel on Thursday morning. We will all have Tyresmoke.Net stickers on the cars, and us Scottish peeps will be ovbious by the wee Saltire's on the window next to our names!!!

Dirve safely all. I really wish I was taking the car - this is my 3rd trip and it is awesome, absolutely awesome :-)

[ricardo60]

OK _ so far we have:

- TVR driver in Griff 500 (Stirling)
- miniAndy in Clio 182 (glasgow)
- Rparker Sagaris & T400r (aberdeen)
- Ricardo Porsche (Cumbernauld)
- Ricardos mystery TVR (origin unknown)
- Couple of guys who were kind enough to post but are actually going on the ferry (Richards mates)
- Two Mitsubish space rockets going from Edinburgh.

Are there are any Lambo owners going from Greenock that can complete the merry band of misfits

TVR _ great offer brkfast & happy to meet at your castle (bet none of my english mates can top that one) & as an alternative Bothwell Services at 12.30 for mimi andy & any lambos from greenock> allows aberdeen 3 & 1/2 hours to get down just S of Glasgow.

Over to the band of misfits

t400r - hmmmmmm

Ty,
we'll be leaving Aberdeen approx 09:00, so should be in Stirling approx. 11:00.
We will have had breakfast etc, so meet at services?
We are staying just outside Dover on the Wednesday evening.

However, I did stuff up on one thing: the new car is a T440R, not a T400R as we thought.
Minor detail!!
Expected arrival Mon/Tuesday next week.
