View Full Version : Midlands convoy?
ricardo_wrx 27 November 2006, 16:05 Im driving from Nottingham on the Thursday evening. Is anyone else heading down the M42 down to Wales? It would be cool to have another car to tag along with?
Returning on the Sunday afternoon slightly muddier!
cozworth 27 November 2006, 16:38 Hi there i'm also going down on thursday, leaving about 15:00 down the M42 if your going down at that time will be in convoy with you.
CLANDER 27 November 2006, 17:55 We're heading down on Wednesday, anyone else going this early?
i am tez 27 November 2006, 18:21 im off down weds night.M54,M6,M5,M50,A40,A449 then M4 to service area
welshwille 27 November 2006, 20:03 Hey Tez, It'll be quicker if you follow the A40 at Raglan towards Abergavenny then pick up the A465 heads of the valley road towards Neath then onto M4 at J43...
Service is only 10 mins up M4 then.....
Theres some roadworks west of Abergavenny 30mph limit for about 3 miles, but after that it's fast bypass roads + you'll be passing Rheola and Resolven area so may see some pre rally action lol...
Prob save about 20mins that way ,and thats in a lorry pmsl
i am tez 27 November 2006, 20:15 cheers welshwille.thanks for the tip
O'Neill 27 November 2006, 20:18 Was going to go down on thursday, leaving about 12 ish.
but now not sure to go earlier, maybe even wednesday night to catch shakedown??
mmm Decisions? ? ?
i am tez 27 November 2006, 20:26 go on o'neill you know it makes sense,i have done for the last few years,save the drive down on the thursday morning and your more then likely get the 1st bus over there and get a good spot

ricardo_wrx 27 November 2006, 22:42 Hi there i'm also going down on thursday, leaving about 15:00 down the M42 if your going down at that time will be in convoy with you.
It will be my little bro doing the driving, so we may well pass you on the M42 around the NEC the way he drives! Even if we left at 5pm :lol1:
fatbob19722003 28 November 2006, 22:16 Going down Thurs morning about 7 from cheshire So thats the M6, M5, M50 into newport by the time i get there the M4 should be clear ( I hope ):lol1:
Scudie 28 November 2006, 22:21 Doing the opposite to most tomorrow night. Going to NEC to take 4 of the best lookin girls in south wales to see Pink in concert. WOW lucky me. Then back to Wales and to recce by 8am. A great start to a perfect weekend.

fatbob19722003 28 November 2006, 22:24 You lucky boy you any room for one more lol
Scudie 28 November 2006, 22:26 only if you have a Pink ticket which I can say took longer than and was harder to trace than my world rally pass
fatbob19722003 28 November 2006, 22:31 lol well you enjoy them girls and have a great night mate ( Lucky man )
Scudie 28 November 2006, 22:35 Cheers. Not taking my rally vehicle tomorrow but thinking of putting poster made by ddb85 in window anyway. If anyone sees me give me a honk. Will probably have to stop in every m-way service (wee stops) and clothes halls on the way:norty:
ricardo_wrx 28 November 2006, 23:38 we should be leaving Ripley about 5:30pm heading down to port talbot
