I should be coming along, maybe with a 944 and a Chimp in tow as well. Is the current suggestion to meet at the Darford Hilton and then onto Clackets ?

Cheers,

Andy.

No, I live up the M11. My car is chameleon blue - it looks met blue most of the time with the cloudy weather we get.

Maybe we should take a detour north through the tunnel first for a proper audition and scare all the oldsters out for their Sunday drive

Rich - how about I meet you at the Hilton at 9.15 other side of the bridge as there is nowhere for me really to pull up on the A127 (as I would join that at the A128) but ideally from Stock I will go A12 then M25 to the bridge ???Unless you have any other suggestions....?? (We could meet at the Little Chef on the A127 - you need to come off at the A128 head towards brentwood and 100 yards on your left turn left and head down to the Little Chef....)

everyone meeting at the Hilton aim to meet at 0915 leave 0930 latest for Clacketts at 10am ...

I plan to meet up at Clacketts Lane on Sunday.

I'm coming over from Essex, and one of my mates is going to come along in his 200SX.

Right sign me up for being at the Dartford Hilton.

edited to add but don't be suprised if I'm late because I always am for everything, and there will then be a mad dash to clacketts to try and catch up but I will fail in that as well, so I'll probably see you all in the Pub at VW about 2:30

I've got to pick a mate up from Warley so will probably divert via the Nags Head and meet you guys there.

Looks like the pre-Clacketts meeting is going to make a good start to the day, as just to re-iterate Basher previous message, the timings are:

0900 - 0915 Hilton (South of Dartford Crossing)
0930 Depart
1000 - 1030 Meet at Clacketts Lane Services
1030 Depart
1100 - ???? Virginia Water
???? Go Home

At last count it looks like we have the following meeting there:

Mel - Griff?
Basher (Fraser) - Ferrari 355 Spider?
rich1231 (Rich) - ???
Skylining (Nick) - R33 Skyline
Trackdemon (Steve) - Chimaera
Mrs Trackdemon? - Mini Cooper S
Bluethunder (Mark) - Chimaera
Tripps (Rob) - TVR S3

My apologies if I've missed anyone, got any details wrong, or people missing, please shout with corrections, as we'll then know exactly who/what we're waiting for.

Mark,

See the thread here for details.

Nick (ncs) is sorting out the picking up of a few others at J5, give him a mail via his profile, so they can look out for you.

Hi

We will be passing J6 just after 10.30.

I have spoken to a couple of people today who are meeting at Godstone Green, I will call them as we leave Clackets so they can move up to the slip road onto the M25, you will know we are coming as the ground starts to shake!!

Drop me a line via my profile with your number & I will call you later if you want.

Nick
