french car show convoy on the day.

Jekyll · May 22, 2011

just wandering who is travelling up on the day. ive got my ticket but probably wont be camping so it looks like i'll be travelling early morning. does anybody fancy meeting up at bishops stortford services then convoying down.

J8, M11
Birchanger Green Welcome Break Service Area
Bishop's Stortford
CM23 5QZ

6:00am

that way there is a bit of extra time if people are running late, etc.

who's up for it?

one in a million · May 22, 2011

Yer I am up for this.

Toms_clio · May 23, 2011

Why not meet at Harlow macs?

Jekyll · May 23, 2011

i did think of that but if people need fuel theres petrol stations at stortford rather than going into/back out of harlow

Italian_Job · May 24, 2011

Yep count me in
Im leaving from London. both meeting points will do for me

littleC18 · May 25, 2011

what route are you taking, any point on the m40? im in bucks, would enjoy a convoy!!

Jekyll · May 25, 2011

i was thinking of m11, a14, then a6116 mate.

Jekyll · May 25, 2011

of course if anybody has other suggestions to times, meeting point, etc feel free to add/post

Struggler · May 26, 2011

im having a bit of a lay in and leaving at 8

im lazy!

Vicky. · May 26, 2011

The old format was to have one meet at Dartford and the other at Lakeside 15mins later so the kent/essex lot could convoy together. I'm happy with whatever though, just enjoy the convoy

adam172 · May 26, 2011

yea it worked out well last year imo with the meeting points dartford and lakeside iirc there was a couple of people that met along the way as well.

im easy though?!?!

Jekyll · May 26, 2011

its in the other direction to me so it would seem silly for me to double track but im defo up for meeting on route. did last years route hit the m11 stansted way?

Vicky. · May 27, 2011

I can't remember the route 100% as I just followed whoever was in front lol. Adam was it you who sat nav'd us down the whole way last year?

one in a million · May 27, 2011

well i will still meet you mark at the location you said, and then we can wait for other arrivals and then hopefully it will be a good little run down.

adam172 · May 29, 2011

no it wasnt me that sat naved us up there.
All I remember was meeting at Dartford services, driving over to lakeside mcDs then following a loads of clios up there very early in the morning.

just had a look on google and its about 2 hours up the m11 (from dartford service station)

what time do people think we should get to cockinham ?

Vicky. · May 29, 2011

Lol, hoping to get there for around 7am. Sorted things out last night and will get a thread up shortly.

Struggler · May 30, 2011

i may have to join this thread now im thinking

ive been told if youre on a show stand/club stand, you need to be at the show stupidly early!!

Rob · May 30, 2011

Since when? That's what's always said but last year people rolled up at all sorts of silly times and still made it to the CS stand.

I'm leaving here about 9 mate, wanna drive up together?

Struggler · May 30, 2011

ill email the guy from FCS in the morning and get a definate answer!!

ill be up for cruising up there together, but 9am?? once you add the ques to get in, you might be pushing it a bit late to get on the parade lap?!

Rob · May 30, 2011

Big party on the Saturday... lol! I suppose it won't be a VERY late one though, so I suppose I could do 8:30?

Struggler · May 30, 2011

sounds a bit better, where abouts would you want to meet up??

Rob · May 30, 2011

Anywhere just off of the m25?

Wick · May 30, 2011

I'm free next weekend now so may make an appearance if tickets are still available.... Have people confirmed a definite meet time and location as I'll probably join the convoy and drive it all in the day

Wick · May 30, 2011

Also just realised how early the 5am meet suggestion is DR J!! Surely it won't take too long from Bishops Stortford to Rockingham at that time in the morning?!

Vicky. · May 30, 2011

You'd be surprised, by the time you queue at rockingham you're likely to get into the show between 7-7.30am.

That's the times we've arrived each year anyway

Jekyll · May 30, 2011

I set it up that early so there is extra time to get breakfast, petrol, allow for people to be a bit late etc. Gotta love them early starts eh!!

Wick · May 30, 2011

Fair enough.... Just got my ticket so I'll be there bright and early!!

5 is frickin' early!! That said... I'll go with the masses. I'm in Sidcup Adam and OIAM is in Orpington if that's any good for you?

one in a million · May 31, 2011

sam aka wick, send us your mob number, an were sort something out, so we can roll down to harlow way together, up to you fella

Vicky. · May 31, 2011

Adam, on my mobile ATM so can't whack it up. Going to put a dartford and lakeside meeting point up to join on with the stansted guys.

Mark, does your meeting point have anywhere for food. If so then anyone meeting at the dartford and lakeside points can
come have some breakfast and meet those going to stansted.

172DAL · May 31, 2011

Would any body be able to tell me how much it is to pay at the gate please? :approve:
