I'm signed up for the ss on the 11th June which looks like it's going to be a great day out. I'm coming from south Oxfordshire, is anyone else heading to it from this direction that fancies having a convoy to the event? Aiming to be there for 8:15.

I'm heading up in the RX8 from Wantage, so can meet as well. Last time I organised the convoy for Santa Pod we met at this BP garage just north of Oxford:

Happy to meet here with people if they fancy it?

If we aim to get to Silverstone at 8 then it means leaving the BP garage above at 7:30ish. I'll aim to get there for 7/7:15ish.

I'll be leaving at 7:30 sharp and will be checking this thread whilst there, so any questions or anything then let me know smile

I'll be in a grey RX8 R3:

Sounds good to me chaps. I'll see you at that petrol station then (yet to see where it actually is!) at 7:30. I'll be in a white 2009 S2000.

NJ72 - was that you I passed on the A34 a month or so ago, then we both headed onto the M40 north?

See you there, 7:15 or so means an extra 15 minutes in bed laugh

Haha, could well have been. I head up that way every so often smile You'd know if it was me as the RX is unapologetically loud... :P

Looking forward to this now smile

The BP garage I'm on about is the one about a mile south of the M40 junction, last services on the A34 before the M40.

Yes I know the one I clicked on the link. I'll be there for 7:30. It probably was you as I passed you on the A34 and you looked at my car, then on the M40 slip road you gave me some exhaust noise as you went past very loudly! I was with the Mrs heading to Banbury.

Few us from the South Coast forum will be heading up about the same time as you guys.

We're meeting one of our group at Chieveley Services at 0700, anyone this side of Oxford or W/SW/S London would be welcome to tag along.

Just look out for a red facelift A45 AMG w/out the aero kit, that's who we're meeting thumbup
