Doesn't surprise me you maniac











Funnily enough when we went it was just about right.

Left us time for a burger and a chat at the services, then a photo session outside the Prodrive building before being shown around.

If we hit any roadworks we are shafted, so to speak.

The drive back is usually a bit quicker

Your wish MAY just come true.

Not heard back from the 2 subs so assume that they can't make it and there is a possibility of someone else dropping out.

No doubt we will get caught in some traffic along the way but at that time it shouldn't be so bad. On the previous trips we drove along at 55-60mph the whole way and still arrived an hour early. This left us plenty of time to stop and grab a burger at the services before the Prodrive junction..... it also gave Adidas time to clean the ketchup off his shirt

On the return journey, head South on the M25 and take in the dartford tunnel. Stop at lakeside for a wee break and then head home.
55-60 mph is that for real?

If so, will be an ideal way to get some miles on the new engine.

Just checking in....

I'm going to be coming up from Dover, so just wondered if there was anywhere I could maybe join up with the rest of you shortly before Prodrive. I'll probably be doing the M20, M26, M25, M40 route....

When I return I have to go down to Southampton, so I doubt anyone else will be going that way..!!

Nige.
Can't wait.....

On the way back we usually head back via the south route of the M25 and do the Dartford Tunnel so that shouldn't be a problem.

As far as meeting up is concerned....... I'm not familiar with services on the M40.

I'll be heading off down the A34 to Southampton on the return leg, so it seems I may be in a convoy of one there and back..!! lol!

No worries, still can't wait for the tour..!!
Thanks for organising it Milamber....

Frayz is meeting us up there as he has something to do on the way. I won't be coming back with you and neither will Dr Wozzaa.....

Have fun and look after YVM on the way back as he's on a running-in map and won't be able to keep up with you
