Steve W2 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Thats a long way from Springfield isn't it? Come to think of it I don't even know wher Northampton is! Does this mean you want to meet up as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I'm gonna be driving up on the Saturday, probably during the afternoon so will meet all people on the Sunday morning. Pity really cos a convoy there would have been cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Dunno what I'm doing yet. I drove up to Billing on the Sunday morning which meant getting up very early but no traffic at all apart from an M3 to play with . I definitely "made progress" shall we say... Should be about 2 hrs 40 travel time from down here Steve (at normal speed). Should shave some time off that though :flame Dev Might go up the day before though - haven't decided yet...

Terminator Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 As far as I know we will have a space allocated to us and us only. So I can’t see any reason why we should not come and go as we please. Make sure your name is added to the list by 22.00 Thursday evening, as I will not have BBS access on Friday morning before I make the final phone call. I will PM those on the list some time on Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Am i the only person travelling to Pod from the place that I actually live in? Maybe you all lead double lives or are very rich and have 2 houses:eek: Can somebody update the list to include me please. As previously mentioned I will set a place/time with John and post it here for any others to meet up if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Originally posted by mawby Shall we fill in these spec sheets as were done at Billing? Those of us doing the dyno on the day could fill in the missing details straight after the run. Just an idea. I take it the spec sheet idea is a non-goer then.

Have downloaded it and filled it out like you suggested, will probably get it laminated or maybe just put it in a clear folder taped to the windscreen.

Hi Ouzolover mawby and I will probably be travelling up at around 1.30 - 2pm from hants, not sure what route we're taking as we only started discussing it today due to PM's not being notified We'll keep you informed of what's going on and deffo times as it gets closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be taking this route, M27 M3 A34 M40 A43 M1 A45 (Where the hotel is Mark) B573 Hardwater Road (on the right) A509 (South bound for all of 100 yards) London Road (on the left) Hinwick Road (on the left as road splits) Hinwick Road (straight on at sharp left hard corner) Airfield Road (straight over at cross roads) There are shorter routes which can be quicker, but they're plauged by hundreds of bloody roundabouts!

MR.B Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 Im going to have to drop out of this event now because ive just been informed that i've been put down to work this weekend due to staff shortages The buggars could have told me sooner! Used all of my blagging skills and it still couldnt get me out of it. If anything changes nearer the time then ill come along but I dont hold out much hope now.

Steve W2 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 John, What time shall I meet up with you on the A34. Did you have anywhere specific in mind?
