Tibshelf sounds ok to me, I'll mention it the week before at the East Mids TVRCC meeting, any idea on a time?

I've got the Staffs meeting next Wednesday so I'll raise it there, but I would think 10.30 would be a good starting point for a Tibshelf gathering....

Hopefully there'll be a few folks from Staffs TVRCC going along but we'll be joining at JCT28. It'd be nice to have a serious convoy of TVR's rumbling along the M1, anyone from East Mids/West Mids/Northants going along, we could maybe meet up at Tibshelf services...

I'm coming up from Northants, and I know Flasher is too (in the T350), so possibly we could join you for the journey. Not sure about anyone else from Northants, and am not going to the meeting next week, but I'll mail them and see if anyone else is coming.

This sounds promising - maybe I can get the convoy video this time. I could wait on the motorway bridge at J31, and catch it all on video. I want a few mobile numbers e-mailed to me, so we can co-ordinate a "fly-by"!

Even better, I will be getting broadband in April, so perhaps I can post up some video for download.

I guess folks are heading up the M1 not cutting through Chesterfield then Sheffield?

Ok, I'll head down and meet you.. Not good for the car to only do 2 miles up the road; will have hardly warmed up by the time I get there.. What time do you think I can join the fly past at J28?

OK, this seems to have generated enough interest to get a bit organised about it!

How about anyone who wants to from around Jct 28 or south of there meet up at Tibshelf services at 10.30am. I'm guessing from the responses so far most folks will be TVRCC people so if you let your respective members know the arrangements.

Nubbin, I'll get you my mobile over email.

Pschobert,

depending on where you're coming from we could either meet at Tibshelf services (Northbound) or if the Staffs folks are going I can email you the meeting point for that (likely to be around Little Eaton). The Staffs Car Club meeting is next Wednesday so I'll let you know after that if you're interested.

Cheers

Ok, let me know how the Staffs thing goes and I'll arrange to meet one of the two groups somewhere...

I'm coming from Sheffield city centre, (takes me about 10 minutes to get to Tankersley from where I am sat now..), but the engine will hardly be warm then so worth a little run I think..

Is there anywhere to hide a Peugeot van with windows? Should be putting in an appearance (without wheelchair, unless public demand is high enough ).
2 minutes to get on M1, 2 minutes off at t'other end. Might just have to take the long route home through the Peak.

Hey Ken. Are you sure that there's no one in your area that can give you a lift in their car ? How about it people ? Save Ken the trip in his Pug ?

Nick,

No problem.. We could either head down to J29 and wait on the flypast appearing, or go a bit further to 28, and join whoever is waiting at the service station.. Couple of others around Sheffield, I'll send an email or two around and see what people think..

Thanks for the thought Nick, but will have Mrs S and 2 sons along.
But if anybody is driving the Ford Supervan or Renault Espace F1.................

Will be giving the Pug a pasting (as far as it can be pasted, anyway). Looking forward to Subaru ownership in the not too distant future.

OK, if everyone meets up at Tibshelf or catches up at J28/29, I'll hopefully be waiting to catch it all on video at J31. Could be good!!

Yep, 10.30 at Tibshelf services.

It's about 5 minutes up from Jct 28 M1. I've no idea on the size of the car park but I guess we'll find each other, a gathering of sportscars is not exactly a regular thing!

See you all there.

Is anyone coming from the North. We are near Tadcaster and will be coming down the A1/M1. Hoping my mate will have picked up his new T350 that morning.
