Even better, but I remember everyone leaving Ipswich around 05:30am to arrive in good time (including Mac D's on-route ). Missed last year.

Tail backs of over 8 miles trying to get into the place :ffs:

about 5:30

Well i suppose its not early as i commute to london everyday!

If Tim can meet then thay sound like a good'n so are we meeting at Tesco at 5:30??

I think the drive if we take it v easy (rac route planner speeds) it should about 3h15mins.

Which other clubs we going up with??

[corollasr]

saying that, the problems were only due to the single road last year. they finished the new road now which should've sorted the problem.

can we meet just off the mway as i dfont wanna go by myself

[matt_hillyard]

sounds good if you want pm me and we can swap mobile number to make sure you dont go in lonely :D

[corollasr]

u have pm.

if ur all coming down the motorway then the best plan is to all meet either at the service station or i think theres a hotel or a restaurant just off the mway we could meet at.

any idea of times etc as i ned to work out when to leave

matt,

basically i just go up the m1 and then down the A43 as its a very easy and quick route. the multimap route brings you through potters bar. is that the way ur going? if so that takes u rite past my front door practically! so that would be a very good route to take :)

ed

[matt_hillyard]

im flexible, up to tim and corolla-98 as i dont know how many people they are going with as im prob going it alone! (well i will be in my car anyway!)

[matt_hillyard]

just got email from Trax.....

Matt,

The booking is closed.

Ian

Well that settles the club stand bit really!!! Thought that might be the case tho <_<

[corollasr]

well if u have to come all the way down the a12 to the m25 then back up then i could meet u guys at south mimms and could follow u up. who else is actually going as i'm getting confused as to who is and who isn't? if u take another route then you should go via the a43 anyway so either way neither of us will be going out of their way to get there

so who's going then! post ur name now

[sera_beetle]

don't mind mate whatever

it would be nice to go up in convoy but i don't want to get stuck behide a slow Paseo the whole way up ;)

[matt_hillyard]

I AM.....ME,ME,ME.

Soz. :D

[sera_beetle]

south mimms sounds kewl with me

[corollasr]

just had a look on the site and you can do a 0-60 sprint on the day. may have to have a go at that seeing as its only 7 quid. but if ur all going via the a12 then if u guys either let me know when ur goin thru or stop in south mimms services, i'll be waiting

ed

[matt_hillyard]

oi Tim you cheeky bugger you, ill have your Sera yet....or maybe not..... <_< :P

Anyone from the South want to meet up on the M25 along the way and then travel up with us lot??

1.5 about 110bhp

don't know no one has got any proper times for a sera. i want the 0-60 at trax and im going to put it on the rolling road soon

And yours is black so it goes faster

[Firthy]

I havent fully decided yet, will have a word with some friends, you lot dont mind if some shoddy fiats tag along of they come do you?? Either that or they can get in my car, as its pure class compared to fiat :P

[corollasr]

think mines bout 125bhp. 0-60 on the 1.5 paseo is 11.2. mine is around 9 i think. 0-60 run will be fun. take out my rear seats and spare wheel for the extra performance
