If your coming through Aylesbury, it would be rude for me to not join in! Will keep an eye out on this thread.


Can give you a ring on the way mate

Looks like a bit of a monster!

Whats the route? how long is it? (sorry I could'nt be bothered to make sense of that thread)


same here also do you have to have a certain type of car.
Me and MXDi have been on 10 out of the 11 Northants run, and there is no probs in what car you turn up in, we've had anything from Lambos to 1.4 civics. Not sure what Oggs' plans are, but Obes doesn't normally give out the route until the day, but if its anything like the others it will be a mix of fast roads, and good driving roads, you never know who's watching the forums time wise, I'd say about 2 hours max

Due to the huge list and therefore potential for a slow convoy from 15a I'm gonna switch to Oggs at Toddington.
The 15a start is monstrous now and I'd much prefer fewer cars and a 'drive' on the way! evil

Will be coming from Reading via Aylesbury so nearer the time happy to exchange numbers via PM and meet a few others enroute.

Cheers!

thats not a huge list, there was 70ish from J15a on the last one we always end up getting split up anyway

Just for the record, this isnt going to end up being a high speed blat down the Motorway is it?

Country roads are fine by me but speeding on the motorway bothers me slightly.

J15a start will only have upto j16 on the motorway, rest is A/B roads not sure of the miles, but I'd guess its going to be around the same as Oggs

It'll be fairly tame from the meeting points due to quantity of cars - assuming they want to stay together anyway!

So make the most of it before you get there! We're 'burning' up from Reading via Aylesbury - traffic depending of course...
