East Mids Convoy Friday

[kee]

found a list of motorway services, this will be useful for petrol stops I would imagine.

www.motorwayservices.info/list.php?by=road

edit:
might be useful if i put the link in ;D

As we'll be setting off from Leicester, we're gonna miss the meeting point, but I'm not sure what time we'll be leaving anyhow, so we'll probably just head south an see if we happen across any likely looking vehicles along the way! ;D
Might even do it real retro stylee and not use motorways (I hate motorways! ;D)
Dunno yet... in any case we'll see y'all there if not along the way. Man, it's NEXT WEEK!!! Woot!

[Nathan]

OK so whats the plan then, what time we going to meet at donnington services etc.

I am technically at work that day so a 1pm meetup would be nice.

Ahh and if Me, Missus (Capri), and Hitch suddenly shoot into a services its probably cus I have had a call and need to crack the laptop out.

got all my stuff sorted already, Gas Stove, BBQ/Bonfire bucket/Generator etc

[kee]

i suggest a 2pm meet up, so i can have some dinner before i set off ;D

[Nathan]

Perfect!!!!!!

Hey Chaps, if you are passing M42 J10 Services and wouldn't mind stopping...I have 3 more that could join!!?

What sort of time do reckon you will be passing?

[Nathan]

Hello my good Sir.

I don't mind stopping fella.

[Nathan]

OK Peeps so I reckon about 3ish we will hit the M42 services to pickup Racer and the gang yeah?

Is that ok with eveyone.

[kee]

sounds good to me, we aiming for a 2.30 starting time from donny, at latest?

if anybody misses they'll just have to floor it ;D

[Nathan]

LOL yeah I suppose nothing wrong with hitting the M42 Services Late. I have Racers mobile so I can let him know if we are late.

[MiniDan]

I think I'll be joining up with you all at M42 J10 services too.

[Nathan]

Coolio this looks to be a good convoy too.

OK peeps since I cannot see a answer to this:

What sort of speed you comfortable travelling at?

65?
70?

I can pretty much do anything within the law, but remember we have 180 odd miles to cover or something like that LOL

[kee]

james imp wants a 65 limit due to cooling issues, so that should be sufficient. will help my MPG aswell cos of my 4 speeder ;D

[racer86]

Thanks chaps that is ACE!

65 is good with me too!

[tri]

anyone with a passenger feel like sending me a couple location updates via text on the way so we can organise meeting up?

Strensham services looks like a good location to me, but it's yet another stop, lol.

[Nathan]

Tri send me your mobile and I will call you.

I am on call that day so using the handsfree all the time.

Coolio 65 it is.

[Nathan]

1 last thing, anyone in this convoy running a CB. Me and the missus used them for Santapod worked out really well.

[tri]

My mate has one in his VW caddy, but he's gonna be all alone on that front, lol. I've PM'd ya my number

[Nathan]

Well he could chat to me (MG) missus (Capri). TBH I got em so I could keep checks on the car as she never looks at temp gauges etc.

[kee]

lol.
i aint got it, was tempted but couldnt be bothered looking into it ;D
