    Frog of the pod - Eastern Convoy

    Righto Chaps,

    We will be setting off to the Pod early doors on the Friday. We can go in 2 directions, either A47 for a shorter more rural drive, or A14 for a motorway feel. This all depends on the members going.

    There will be an obligatory Maccy D stop.

    Let me know who's coming

    1. TNT Andy.

    Whats with the Tom

    Ill be looking at leaving around 7 from mine, so more than likely around 7:45 - 8am at cambridge services. To get to pod at 9, might actually leave earlier thinking about that. What time you looking at getting to Pod?

    Yeah well used that name for over 27 years might be worth having a change once in a while

    yeah, think aiming for 8 at cambridge services will be good enough, unless leaving really early always going to get caught on the A14 driving along, so might as well stack a steady drive after a nice sausage and egg McMuffin with hash brown

    Fingers crossed - JP's car should be back also and my ecu should be back and installed. Handy Andy and Oli are having a pig of a time with there F7P conversions and nothing seems to be going in favour for them, so unlikely they will be coming. I'll be poking a few others b4 the day.

    If you're going to continue along the A14 then Millie & I can meet you at the Maccie D's at Huntingdon Services if you like? (A1/A14 Junction)

    If Tom/Fail Dale can wait till then we can eat some brekkie there?

    Sure can survive another 15 mins to wait for food

    Should aim for about 8:30 at huntingdon then after a meet up a cambridge, or shall we just move onto meeting at huntingdon rather than stopping off 12 miles before hand.

    Yeah it's probably easier for everyone to stop once for a Maccie D's at Huntingdon

    Right - what's the latest chaps. Things have moved on a wee bit. What time are we meeting where? I think Steve posted up somewhere else about an earlier start so as we can meet up with the big group at Tesco nr the pod?

    Right, so from mine will me myself and Luke M from around 6:30, should be passing cambridge services for around 7:30 and on to the next services at Huntingdon Services for Brekkie about 7:50 quick stop off and should get to the Tescos for around 8:30 or so, how does that sound? well apart from the waking up earlier bit but will be great for a nice convoy off all the cars

    Re: Frog of the pod - Eastern Convoy

    Well the bloke at my work is decided to not turn up today, so im not sure what is happening now how can it be so difficult just to turn up to work once a day, its not like its a difficult day really. Working harder getting my new project clean and running which it nearly is, just needs a lot of red colour restorer going into the paintwork as its a bit dull but a million times better than what it did look like when we got the car. Plus engine is running sweet as with the new turbo in place and not smoking at all plus carb is nicely setup and idles better than my own car and this one has been sitting for the last 9 years doing nothing. Goes to show how good these cars are really.

    Just get your profile name changed to Epic Fail Dale! You can get your car taxed for next month tomorrow no problems & bring that!! Be a good opportunity to run it in down the strip!

    Come on Fail, CHOP CHOP!

    After all if you don't come, whose voice are we going to hear all night when the campsite falls silent!

    You know I would turn up to those events and whatever car I goes in and enjoy a drink, cant turn that down, but the MD of the company will not allow me to take the time off due to my manager moving house and you have better odds at winning the lottery than the other person turning up

    And I thought you would be going back to a hotel because your too old to camp

    We'll be seeing you at Tesco Chappy, we've definitely got Mr Raider, JP, and myself from over here. Handy Andy is a possibility and Markey B keeps blowing his up.
