Southampton convoy to Goodwood 1st April

[notax]

Next Sunday is a Goodwood Breakfast day - the theme being Forza Italia (although any car is welcome). Three of us are meeting at 7.30am in our F355s at Sainsburys off Junction 7 M27to drive down together.

If anyone would like to join us you are very welcome to!

I would make that a sharp getaway at 7.30 if you want to get a place in the display area as spaces will be at a premium. Also if you have the same model then try and stagger your final arrival as they try and make sure the display area has as many different vehicles/models as possible so a line of 355s may end up with them letting only the first one in and the remainder in other parking.

See you all there.

Thanks for the advice! What time would you suggest trying to arrive by?

Whoahh! Getting there for 7.30am sounds a bit keen for me (us!)

John, I remember you in our convoy - and seeing you nicely sideways at one point ) Not sure on the route - I'd be keen to drive somewhere a little interesting but I'm not the person who started the convoy so not really my decision! Glad to say I haven't had the chips repaired yet so a few more won't matter!

Hope you can make it.

I might join you guys.

Excellent - the more the merrier!

I'll be at Sainsbury's about 7.20 so can go off a bit earlier if you like?

Hi Geoff

I hope that there will be a few more cars joining us and everyone is aiming to arrive for 7.30. I hope to get there a little earlier but to leave together.

I have also heard that a group of Caterhams are meeting near Wickham and it may be able to join them en route too. Would you aim to drive straight to Goodwood along the main roads or would you be happy to take a more interesting route?

Chris

OK, decision made,I am joining the Caterham boys at Wickham.Couldn't resist the calling of the twisty routes.They are leaving at an earlier time of 08.00.

Feel free to join us if you can keep up....

We should all be able to meet the Caterham crowd - if we leave Sainsburys at 7.30 we will easily get to Wickham in time. I'm definitely up for this. Do you know where they will meet? In the Square is probably the best bet - unless there is a market being set up.

Would you still come to Sainsburys - and do you know which of your cars you'll be taking?

[normalbloke]

We are just meeting in the Square.See here...

07.30 departure from Sainsburys should put you comfortably at Wickham in time.I'll be coming in the Caterham (weather depending), and if i have time I will try and meet you guys first.My problem lies with my passenger and the logistics!!

[notax]

Thanks - that should work well. If you don't make it to Sainsburys come and say hello at Wickham - I'll be in a dark blue F355.

See you on Sunday - hopefully with a few Lotus and TVRs too )

[JSS 911]

Sounds like a plan will be at Sainsburys nice and early ,so see you all on Sunday .John

[steve_d]

I may well come over to the Square and join in the convoy. 10 miles in the wrong direction but will be good if the weather is nice.

Excellent - seems we'll have another memorable convoy. Very glad I haven't got around to sorting the stone chips from the last one! Please feel free to spread the word. The more the merrier )

[hope2421]

Should pick you lot up at Jn 11, me and my mate him in a Alfa 75 30v6 and me in my Audi urS6 (sorry). Looking a good convoy

[notax]

Hi Hope2421

If you can, it would be better to get to Wickham for 8.00am. The Caterhams are taking a country road route which should be fun and avoid the plod - but it means the majority of us won't be going down the motorway as far as junction 11.

Have been planning to go along - just spotted this post. Will try to meet you at Sainsburys at 07:30 - I'll be in a blue 3200GT. Hope the convoy isn't planning to be too rude down the back roads - might be a few boys in blue making sure we are being sensible...
