I will be there in J's car, not sure what everyone else in the SW is doing? My first ever trip to Santa Pod :)

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 :)

Junction 15a on the M1 rings a bell unless you're coming off the mway sooner? :p

Going north, you come off at J14 for the pod :cartman:

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

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

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

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

Don't they let you take PAT 1 home with you?

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:D

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

You didn't seem to realise that your engine was cold either :laugh:

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:crap:

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

Bring on pod...
