Mallo Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Friday morning from North Yorkshire?! Will there be any point even going to sleep on Thursday night?! Nope none at all lol Ill be off to bed late Wed so i good sleep. But its an easy drive, dover not to far, i did a Belgium show last year, up at 7:30am Sat morning, drove through the night, ferry, then shot the show then drove back, had maybe 2 hours sleep in car at one point, wired on energy drinks then went to sleep at 4:30am Monday morning lol Anyways yes looking forward to it with you guys, i will be hanging out the car or the roof off at many points. Not to storm the page, but quick snaps. I shot these at about 6am in belgium strangley while i was driving and on my old Olympus camera, i shoot canon now & i wont be driving lol And a couple from the Britcar last Autum on the canon 70-300mm Not amazing but like above a year old now. I'll be in Marc's car, this will annoy him as he's not seen the pics yet lol Cheers Mallo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottC Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'm planning on meeting a few guys at the M25 Clacket Lane services early on Friday morning, so if your travelling along the M25 and would like to meet up with us at stupid o'clock feel free Thread here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sounds good Scott, we will see you at Ashford Travelodge between 0615 and 0630, do you know if there are any V power garages around the Ashford area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is one in the town centre on the ring road but be careful of the speed bumps as you come out! There is also one at Junction 11 off M20, Hythe turn off, the petrol is a good price there (they dont rip you off) and there are plenty of pumps about the same size as clackett services on the M25 but without the rip off prices. The one in ashford is quite small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJP Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Anything happening in the evening before in the hotel? Or just sitting in the bar? Let me know if you all decide to do something that eve, there is a beefeater next door that does good food and drink, happy to meet someone of you as I only live down the road? My girlfriend is going to love leaving that early, as I know she'll want to have a shower and put on all her makeup before we leave. She's going to be up soooo early Thanks Ian, thought it would be about that time. My wife is going to be the same Dave, infact she will probably have to stay up from when we get there till we leave, sorting things out. From a female prospective we love getting up in the middle of the night to have showers, dry and style hair and do makeup so we can look good for our men and have everything apart from the kitchen sink packed and ready to go just dont expect us to be full of life later on that eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
