Official Bedford to CSS Convoy and chat thread!!!

[TrophyClio]

I am tempted by this now, a good sales job by you guys at the meet yesterday, the route through Sandy, Potton and down to Royston to hit the A10 is a good quick route will not much traffic, much better then heading along the A428 and down the M11.

 

[cliokam]

I'm 90% up for this, even though i will get left miles behind lol.

 

[danward]

Can't wait for this now the tickets have come through. Have any you guys stuck the sticker on?

 

[Amos91]

I think there is a football game on that day. :rasp:

 

[danward]

s**t I'll have to cancel then!

Yes I have

 

[Owen92]

Adam, I don't know if it will be quicker for you, but the East Mids and Yorkshire convoys are going across the A14?

 

[scaryopa]

I shall put the sticker on soon!!!!!

 

[Euan94]

Got mine today so the Mazda will be treated to the Clio treatment soon. Might have a friend either with me or in another mx5 in the day just to pad out the convoy!!!!!!!

 

[Adamm.]

Adam, I don't know if it will be quicker for you, but the East Mids and Yorkshire convoys are going across the A14?

Hmm just looked don't think it makes much difference tbh. I might just head my own way there yet or perhaps meet the bedford convoy then head from there. Still not even 100% sure if I'll make it but I'm just making sure I'm prepared if I do go.

 

[Amos91]

So where shall the bedford guys meet? Thinking somewhere other than box end where the car will get dusty/muddy

And time?

I think if we met at go outdoors at 9.15 to depart for 9.30, that should be fine. And we are the right end of Bedford then and the car park is clean!

The only issue is that if we go the Sandy route then we are a few junctions the wrong way. Something around Bedford town football club is on route?

 

[Scotty-boi]

That's easy enough too! But we could shoot up the a421 and a1 south to sandy from black cat!

Be then driving northbound to then go straight southbound?

[Adamm.]

I have no idea of any of these places lol so I think I'll just head over the bedford route and hope to come across some other clio sports. If you see a random RB appear that's me

Use a satnav when we finally decide on location

 

[Scotty-boi]

Meet wherever. I'm easy. All locations are easy for me as I'm as good as on a421 anyway!

 

[Amos91]

Cool. So shall we go for the football club? Then we are straight on the right road.

 

[Euan94]

couldn't we just go from go outdoors, along the a421 the one junction to get to the football club?? the football club isn't the greatest place to meet is it?

 

[Amos91]

Go outdoor it is then. Confirmed

 

[Scotty-boi]

Clean car park, big enough! No problem with 10+ cars turning up! It's on. Everyone agree about meeting at 9.15?

That's fine with me. Reckon we would get there around 10.30. Have we got a list going? Can't remember.

Might be worth swapping numbers in case someone is late!

 

[Scotty-boi]

1. Scotty-boi + missus
2. Euan94
3. scaryopa + misses
4. Amos91 + girlfriend (if she wants to come)
5. DanB720 + My Old Man

 

[Scotty-boi]

We will just say, if your not there by 9.30-9.35, then tough f**king s**t! We're gone

[Scotty-boi]

Think I'm gonna have to give mine absolute death, loosen it up a bit,

 

[mitch1503]

they get better with age,need another cup box in mine as the PH1 gears just seem so long when accelerating like today

 

[Scotty-boi]

Yea I'm sure they seemed even longer than mine! I've definitely got a ph1 box still! Just seemed to go forever!

 

[mitch1503]

it's like a 1.2 getting hammered 2 death with how long they are, like i said better for the motorway but slower acceleration than my old cup box
