    Lots of interest in this thread then...

    If people don't want to convoy up, I'm not bothered. I'll come up at my own pace or tag along with another convoy.

    If there is still interest in driving up together, stick your name down and lets get it going

    You mean you're going to turn up



    Get yourself to Todington services bright and early. It's just after J11 of the M1.

    Jap kit's are good. I've got one on my car, as you'll see next week. Unless you see a tree that needs a trim, on the way

    Going north, you come off at J14 for the pod

    Mart, going on the time that was being chucked about for being at Todington, we'll be there before it gets light

    Oh the joy of wanting to get out of the London area, while avoiding the rush hour

    Could be worse, you could have a ~240 mile/4hr drive to do...

    Good point

    Although if I get the timing wrong, it could quite easily take me four hours to do 120 miles

    I just realised it's a 7:30 meet at Toddington. That's hella early for me, my neighbours are going to love the rattling 200 leaving at 6:30

    Mate, think how my neighbours feel when they hear my Nur-Spec at 0500 every morning, echoing round my driveway

    To be honest, I don't know how we managed to get up so early and get to Mallory last year just after 8am and then stay up till after 5 the next morning. How very awesome...

    Point being, it can be done again

    No chance - The vans are used for collections in the afternoons. Unfortunately we don't all get our own ones

    They're lucky I didn't hit the limiter last week, it sounds like fireworks

    Although, I did put my foot down without realising the road was wet, so the back end just bounced down the road...

    What you don't realise is, I don't care

    I've honestly abused that engine from cold morning stratup to warm since it started smoking last year and I think i've taught it a lesson... It actually stopped smoking

    I did every check possible beforehand, so I must have reshaped the bore or something

    Bring on pod...
