Josh42 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Just wondering if we've got a convoy running to castle combe from the midlands? Cheers Edited April 30, 2012 by Josh42 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADZsupra Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hey josh im in warwick if you fancy heading down to reading to meet the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 I contemplated this, but it's actually further for me to go to reading than it is to go to castle Combe, then on top of this, there's then the drive from reading to castle combe, which will then take another hour, sorry pal, just my passenger doesn't fancy a 4 o'clock set off...:/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Im going down with 3 other supras but are parking up on another club area at the show. We are stopping at M42 J2 Hopwood services, M5 Strensham services and then onto the M4 to J18 A46 north then in a sneaky back way to the circuit FYI going via Reading adds 80 miles to a 90 mile trip from B'ham.

Eddie-S Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm going down, was thinking of going cross country on the A429 as came back that way last year and it was a much nicer drive than motorway bashing and like Dunk going the back way in. And same here, another 80 miles if I go to Reading. Open to offers depending what time and which way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yeah I'm interested in convoying with you or dunk! Or both if we could arrange something between us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ajay Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Me and Scotty will be up for doing this instead of going Reading as we will have madam with us and don't fancy an early early start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie-S Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 So. Is everyone joining Dunk's convoy, if so what time and where as it will take me an hour to get to Birmingham. Roughly same total time for me to get to Castle Combe M'way or cross country, just 20 mile longer down M5 but still better than going to Reading (Although the convoy was very impressive last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-duper Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm up for this convoy, although looks like I'll be shooting passenger in Josh42's car as mine won't be painted in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Anyone have a plan yet then? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 2 of us will be leaving Hopwood services M42 J2 at 06:45 at the latest, then to Strensham services M5 to meet 2 more and leaving there at 07:10. Meeting 2 others at J19 M4 then up to J18 M4 and go north on the A46 and meet 1 more in the layby and then onto the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Id be happy to meet you at Strensham services? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie-S Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'll struggle to get to Hopwood or Strensham by those times so might try to catch up on the way. What's your ETA at Castle Combe Dunk? I was planning leaving home at 6-6.30 to get there for 9 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Depending on traffic i'd guess 08:30 ish at the circuit but there are 50 mph average speed cameras down at the M4/M5 junction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-duper Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Me and Josh42 will meet you at Strensham services then Dnk, what are the other two cars we're looking out for? and would you like me to pm across my mobile number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Cheers, it's be a bit optimistic making that much time up, might have to set my alarm a bit earlier then! 50 ish miles from Derby to Hopwood so you need to be on the rd at 06:00 at the latest if your going to make it for 06:45 It takes a few miles at silly mph to get back a small amount in time so the only way is to get up earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
