CARS Eastern Convoy

[slater]

Saw stuy yestarday and we are planning to meet up in Bury St.Edmunds at about 1:30ish saturday afternoon (times flexible). Stuy will be coming up from ipswich along the A14 and i+others will be coming up from sudbury.

Id imagine those from north essex and norfolk will join the A14 at some point. If anyone wants to join us post away!

I have to pick brusercapri up in scudbury on the way, might meet up at bury if its easier. if your at oldskool next week, I'll have a word with you then, buddy

[slater]

Yeh i will make sure i get there this month!

I'm thinking meeting in bury would be good as our usal KFC meeting point is rather bizzy on a saturday lunchtime

[RetroMat]

I'd be up for this, i think i will be heading to Ipswich first from Colchester.

Excellant, We're going to be meeting up at 12.30pm for 1.00pm departure from tesco petrol station/ truckstop at Copdock. just where the A12 meets the A14, so access is ideal for anyone from essex who wants to come along. Then we'll be heading to Bury to meet up with Slater and the Sudbury boys etc.

Anybody else want to meet up further down the A14?




Cheers for getting the thread going Slater and it was good to see you again last weekend, I'm having a 'mare logging in at the momment so not been able to post for ages but I'll be there at 12.30 without fail!

I'm going to struggle with coming along Saturday PM, darn(unless I come very late evening).

Alternatively, anyone else leaving stupid early on Sunday AM?

[marinanut]

Possibly if I get my axle done....

[daverapid]

I'll be going to CARS from Cambridge with vrskodanorman..fancy meeting up somewhere on route?

[purehillmanimp]

I guess your comingalong the a14 then a605 after junction 13 (i think it is) ?

I will go from peterborough - a605 all the way and follow signs TBH
What time do you think you will be at junction 13?

[bstardchild]

I'd be up for a meet in BSE lunchtime ish....... Anywhere is fine it's only 11 miles from me - I'll keep an eye on the thread for finer details..

That will be perfect for me ;D I should be in a mini convoy with the Toledo and a Spitfire.

If you guys are meeting at 1pm in ipswich then sudbury lot will meet you in tesco carpark in bury at 1:30.

Id say 30mins is about right to get from ipswich to bury, yes?

That sounds Good to me. What junction is tescos? is it near the sugerbeat factory or am I getting my supermarkets confused?

[bodieanddoyle]

tescos is the second bury turn off, the one by the sugarbeet factory

[bstardchild]

Can I suggest the "recycling area" just before the Petrol station as the best place to meet? The main Tesco car park gets manic on a Saturday

[slater]

yeh thats where B&D suggested last nite attualy.

Great minds!!! I temporarily lost my own car in that bloody car park a while back whilst shopping!!!

[spottedlaurel]

So, is anyone else leaving Norfolk/Suffolk Sunday AM? Or will I be the only RRer left at home on Saturday night?

Don't mind if I am on my own, will take a diversion St Neots/Kimbolton way as I love the road through there and early Sunday it should be quiet. Go Starlet power!

[JonnySierra]

Me and Spacekadett will hopefully be coming up on Sunday, probably from Sudbury to Bury St Edmunds then along the A14. Not sure whether I'll be driving, if I am it'll be a 1300 mk1 Escort or 1100 mk1 Fiesta so the ol' Starlet would certainly keep up!

I'll have a chat with bro later to see if we can sort out a route and time, I've not been along the A14 further than Cambridge for well over a year so I'll need a map! Whereabouts are you based SL?

Cool. I've got no worries whizzing across country to get there, driven that way regularly to get to Billing over the last 10+ years.

I'll be coming down to Bury as I live just a bit north of Diss, so easy to meet you guys at Tesco like the others on Saturday, but at something stupid like 7am if not earlier.
