V Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 So unless said otherwise can we agree on meeting in Bury St Edmunds Tescos between 7:00-7:30am which should be a big enough window to meet with the on coming convoy. Bobbeh, Your mate from Mildenhall will know it as its the only civlisation around here, and you'll have to drive past it to go to Ipswich. + youve got my mobile. Tescos is right on route too. Everyone happy with that? Regards Stephen V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Yeah should be ok I guess... gawd we're gonna have to leave around 6-6.30am ourselves then gaaah - im crap in the mornings Just hope it'll be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_S2000 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Rob, it will probably be easier if you just don't sleep at all mate. Tesco's is easy to get to and if you want to make it in record time I know an Optimax not too far down the road where we can top up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Is this the Tescos in Bury. That looks like where I'd like to hook up with folks before we head to the second Tescos that has the earlier map link. Gives us a good sprint on the A14 (69mph sprint that is) http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=585443&y=265258&z=0&sv=IP32+7JS&st=2&pc=IP32+7JS&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Justin, Yup, thats the one:) If your coming from the West its the 2nd Bury Turning / could be called the 'Central' turning. (the first turning is 'West' (and/or 'Westley') When youve taken the slip road off the central exit you'll go down to a large round-about with some traffic lights the other side of it (which you cant see). Just keep going around the round-about and you'll see tescos (between 3rd & 4th Exit). See you there Stephen V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Originally posted by Peter Sharp 160+ MPH in the car and then get a side wind blowing Thats why Supras have Wiiiiiiiiings That looks like a much better outlook than what I've previously seen.

Let's hope if drops a lot! Peter, I went to Elvington October 2002 and it was blowing a proper gale. Trees were down on my way up but ........ Supes were fine and there was even a nutter on a Hybusa bike who ran in the gales and when he hit the open bit of runway the wind took him and he was driving diagonally to the horizon in a straight line as if he were goin round a sharp bend! He kept goin though and didn't crash. I reckon Sunday will be fine for us wind wise. Make sure all your undertrays and targa tops are locked down boys and girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rav Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Just got in. Gave up waiting for winds to die down to run for top speed. Self-inflicted i know, but i got in at 3am this morning and then got up at 5:30am to meet convoys... er.. kinda missed those. But made it to Tescos near Woodbridge in time to see some nice cars. After forgetting to turn off the top quality Toyota Traction Control and being restricted to 3000 RPM on my first run! nice... i managed a low 13 later on. Here are some photos... i'm off to catch up on sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother has now convinced me to have a run next time, it was good fun going out in his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the hammer down for a few miles, but i gave up the (futile as it turned out:D ) chase pretty quickly. Just as well really as everywhere i went on the way back seemed to be swarming with the boy's in blue........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 It was a proper sideways too! was that all 1st gear? Also I didnt see any coppers, apart from the ones 50ft up the road after you went sliding! im suprised they didnt see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Yep all first gear, it was a little bit of a shock to then see the coppers but they seemed quite relaxed for a change..... Btw big thanks to Monkeymark for the cheap Uk brakes, i wasn't expecting the free spiders but it was a nice touch:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
