Pulley Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks to lui, awesome convoy, took a while to get in but was worth the wait, the convoy down was fun and my favourite part of the day , the driving spirit as more Japanese cars sprinted onto the motorway and joined the supras made me feel 10 years old again Anything that puts a big huge goofy grin on your face in these days of recession and previous crappy weather is wot life's all about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Cheers lui turned out to be a good day.bit different following you through the lanes ,i hadnt turned off the main road there before and wasnt going to be left at the lights.Thought i was going to be ploughing the mud off the centre of the lane at times.Going to drive up earlier next year to join the main convoy earlier.Did anybody see the black supra on the track ,got overtook by an astra convertable.(couldnt resist that Noz).

Josh Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 The pease pottage one as you have a choice of the M23 or the dual carriageway roads from Pease pottage back to Horsham A264 (I think) The added bonus is it would somewhat save my boxers any problems as there are no corners to go around.......... Scrap that last comment actually I just realised I was talking out of my backside. Let everybody know the route.. I really want to go in convoy somewhere at some point (the one at Suprapod was just a chilling drive) with some singles racing off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy_supra Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Convoy was awesome. Nice to see some familiar faces and some new aswell. The show was as good as it always is. Spent 10minutes queuing to get in after heading down the back lanes . The club stand was a lot better than last year access was loads better. Thanks for organising a brilliant day Lui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh? Eh? We queued for about half an hour and got in. 4th Supra to hit the club stand Good day out, but not as many stalls as I would have expected. And not one that sold any decent gauges Drifting was good to watch, especially the blow out right in front of us. Bits of the tyre went a good 30 feet in the air Shame about the RX7 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camry5Sgte Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Had a good time w/ the convoy. Wish I could have met more of you at the show, wifey was interested in the paddocks and the racing. To the few of you I did meet, I'm glad I did and look foward to seeing you in the future. Big thanks to Lui for helping me get tickets since my American paypal said NO to British paypal. Ended up on the M25 with 2 of you on the way home for a short bit.... somone pickin on a ferrari lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Lui put a lot of time and effort in to organising the event, can we all at least thank Lui for his work before slagging down the event. Exactly right, great job Lui, the issue is and always has been the volume of traffic coming from the M4 side and having to go through small villages (Tiddlewinks) As JP stated if youre in the know you would have got straight in. I was in gate C with only 15 mins queing. The last 2 years Ive waited in line for 2 hours!! never again Thanks to dnk for that shortcut. Today was more packed than ever and they were turning people away early afternoon!!! Quarry Corner was a bit out of the way and last years pylon slot was just as bad. 2010 Camp Corner was the best pitch I had seen for the club. How come we didnt have any banners/club flags flying this year? we must have had near the biggest turnout yet again Anyway watched drifting, got burnt, walked round the lap, got burnt, ate, drank blah blah IMO a great day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake supra Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Had a great day today. Nice to meet new club members and seeing at least one sup dare to take on the Combe circuit (Noz). Got a tad sunburnt but definitely worth the long drive down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_e Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Me and Robzki had a ball ache of a time in the ques.. Someone was a idiot and went the wrong way and of course we all followed him haha roughly 10-15 cars had to turn around in the tightest little village, so we turned around only to find the cars that had already done a uturn, coming back the other way !! so once again I did a 16 point turn in the sup Proceeded to get lost and stopped to ask rob if he knew the post code etc.. got it on the sat nav then joined the ques near gates B and C must of been in the line of traffic for roughly 1 hour. and still got in the gates by 9:30. Overall a great day out, sun burnt to buggery though, Mega thanks to lui for organising it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 where were you ya mong!? walked past your car a few times and you were nowhere to be seen.. so much for na-t relations Mate as soon as I saw your motor I realised we hadn't swapped numbers!! Doh! And where was my phone call to say you had gotten in??? Eh? Eh? We queued for about half an hour and got in. 4th Supra to hit the club stand Good day out, but not as many stalls as I would have expected. And not one that sold any decent gauges Drifting was good to watch, especially the blow out right in front of us. Bits of the tyre went a good 30 feet in the air Shame about the RX7 though Sorry dude. I was so cut up about the fact my doluck wing had come loose near the top I was panicing about that and spent the first hour (after 2 hour wait) trying to get it to fit properly. Had a great day today. Nice to meet new club members and seeing at least one sup dare to take on the Combe circuit (Noz). Got a tad sunburnt but definitely worth the long drive down. Nice to meet you as well buddy. Next year I think I'll buy tyres that are alot better it's surprising how much of the track you can't see and without decent tyres I didn't have the confidence to push it harder, the back stepped out once or twice and though my mate was well up for me going sideways I didn't want to risk it. It's like driving full pelt around roads you've never been on. You should give it ago it's not all about who is quickest it's an experience I think everyone should try at least once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
