Good news guys and girls. Will definately be able to go on Sunday, as I have spoken to the other half and she has given me the approval to go (not that she had much choise anyway)! The only problem is that I'm not sure if I will be able to make the convoy on the way there. It depends on how early I get up and how quickly I can get ready. Also got to try and make sure that I don't too much at my engagment party the night before..... Please bear in mind though that if I am able to join the convoy, I can't 'blat' around, as I'm running in my new engine at the moment and I'm limited to 3000 revs and 60 MPH..... So if anyone goes above that and looses me, I'll be very and won't be best pleased as I won't have a clue where I am! Mark

Drop NCS a line and make sure you have directions to the pub... just in case...

There is a 10% chance that I will make it, but there is a 90% chance I won't. But then again 97.76356% of statistics are incorrect. Podie, if I'm able to make it I'll give you a ring in advance.

OK chap...

10:30 - J26, Marriott Hotel

That's the one chap!!!

BE CAREFUL... it has a steep entrance. Best bet is to go down by the petrol station... you'll hear me anyway!

Meeting Chinny and (hopefully) TVR-NUT as well... then heading off to J26 to meet Griffy.... and then onto Big T...

[Podie]

Last call for the Mid-Essex blat to Kent!!!

MEETING TIMES / LOCATIONS

10:00 - M25 J28 (A12 Jn), Little Chef *
10:30 - M25 J26, Marriott Hotel
11:00 - O'Neills pub, by the Green Man roundabout.


* = be careful, there's a steep entrance, so probably best to park down the side of the petrol station.

A few pics here not many only 8 or 9 as i ball5ed up taking photos into the sun Nice to meet everybody and what great weather again

Nice looking car that one...



Well met Chinny at Brentwood... blatted off towards J26... found another Chim waving at me so off we went... met Griffy at J26 and onto the pub by the Green Man roundabout... met up with Seasider.

No Big T (work ) V8 Archie or anyone else... so headed off towards the blackwell tunnel.

Bloody london gave up after 15 minutes of sitting in traffic and blatted down the A13... off to Kent via the bridge... with Griffy giving us a lovely powerslide just of the M25...!

Nice meet... reasonable turnout... good grub went for a pootle round the lanes.. some plonker in a rep-mobile gave it large "av you seen the tailback you've caused?!?" ... "er... that'll be the traffic lights then, that are on red". Idiot

Went off, with all the Kent crowd to play in the tunnel... got through the tolls... gave it some serious pie through the tunnel with Griffy and V8 Archie in tow.. great noise...

Nice day, pretty good weather, and what Sunday's are made for...

Pies said:

Podie Check this please your car Is it correct cheers

Aye... tis the "old girl"... but what's a "Chimera" - but you are correct, Mica Red with Flint hide.

Yep, known as the S4 bonnet AFAIK. "S3 bonnet" has the driving lamps but the forward facing hump.

joust said:

And - spookily enough Podie and myself were actually seen together! J

SHUSH!

Nice to finally meet you mate... was going to wander off for a chat / nob gag routine, but you'd obviously decided not to risk it, and legged it!

Great number plate though...

Podie said: met Griffy at J26 How did the 4 of you manage to split up into 2 x 2 at the Shell petrol station roundabout ? p.s. there was some worrying headgear been worn as well.

That'll be drum4it's fault I was following him! We had a minor traffic issue on the roundabout

Seasider... good stuff chap, good stuff...

[Podie]

drum4it2 said:

I was trying to escape the copious amounts of fuel squirting out of Podie's exhaust!!

It's due for a tune-up... after the cats were removed, it's been a bit lively!

Kinda explains the flames...

Kinda explains the flames... how did we leave it with the (hypothetical) insurance claim if you melted my front end (ooooh) would they pay up?

person following's fault... they would have been too close..

[Podie]

drum4it2 said:

so in the interest of safety for all Mid-Essex drivers you'll be at the back next week?

If someone else wants to lead the convoy...

Podie said: If someone else wants to lead the convoy... I thought you said you had a new route for next week? Via Dartford maybe... How did the video turn out? Can you post it?

Not my camera mate... although I'll get Martin to send me a copy.
