Sorry, I should have clearer with my Pauls! - I was wondering if 1st new car Paul was coming across to meet us there also?

I spoke with Carlos yesterday, I'm pretty sure he's coming, I sent him the link to the ticket site etc and he was aksing me what type of ticket I have etc, just waiting to hear when he's travelling down and what his route is...

booforty · 07-09-2008, 03:45 AM

Cool, you all have my number, aigghhh!

chrisbin · 07-09-2008, 04:02 AM

Good skills Carlos.
You have a number of options;
Drive to St. Neots, meet budgie and I and convoy all the way down.
Drive to Baldock services, we'll pull in on our way past to get you, and we can convoy down the rest of the way.
Drive to South Mimms and meet us there, and we can convoy down the rest of the way.
Drive down on Thursday night, stay in a hotel and meet us at Wiseley.

Is totally up to you.
I would suggest the Baldock services is your best option - not to far out of your way on an early morning, plenty of convoy time, and we can avoid getting on the M25 at South Mimms, meaning we can take alternative roads and get on several junctions later.

Let me know so I can keep Budgie in the loop.
We've arranged to meet at 5.30, so if you do meet us at Baldock it'd be at 5.45 chap.

I trust you have your tyre issues sorted? Are you fully rubbered up?

I'm afraid so dude!
We have some serious mileage to cover and plenty of folks to pick up along the way.
Bare in mind also, this is a week day, and as such we have weekday M25 traffic to contend with.
If you don't moan I'll buy you a bacon sandiwch

dxb335d · 07-09-2008, 10:19 AM

Ok mate lol DEALSIE.

fookin early. Earlier than what i have to get up for work.

Who else we picking up and what our ETA at goodwood?

booforty · 07-09-2008, 10:22 AM

Not sure about this "rubbering up" talk... I hope Carl's not rubbered up on Friday!

Sheps are you sure you can keep up with the DXB?

- Paul - · 07-09-2008, 10:25 AM

I've still got no idea if or who I'm meeting?? Are you lot anywhere or do you pass anywhere near me?

Well, Budgie and I will meet you at Baldock.
We're meeting Booforty @ Wisley.
I think possibly 1stNewcar might be coming to Wisley also
Gibbo (and possibly Ian aka HotCoupe) will be met along the way.

Leaving Balsock at 5.45 we should have no worries in getting to Wisley for 7.30
Leaving Wisely @ 7.30 we should have no worries in getting to Goodwood for 8.30, including a stop to pick up Gibbo/HC

I'll do my best

I managed to keep James and Ian just about in-sight when we did Supercar Sunday last month, so I'll what I can!

I'm sure Carlos relaises Budgie and I have horsepower defficiencies and will drive accordingly (not)!

booforty · 07-09-2008, 10:32 AM

Will do - any "best" places to park?

jjbirch · 07-09-2008, 10:58 AM

yeah in the muddy field lol i had to last year

booforty · 07-09-2008, 11:00 AM

You just park wherever they direct you to - no choice I'm afraid - likely to be a big muddy field!

booforty · 07-09-2008, 01:02 PM

I've got another spare ticket - but I paid £30 for it

Anyone want it?

dxb335d · 07-09-2008, 01:25 PM
