A silly question I guess, but I can't seem to get the Shell petrol station finder to work!!

I'm heading up to York soon, and on a 250-odd mile journey, I guess I'm going to need some Optimax on the way there and back!!

Does anyone know which services on the M1 has Optimax (between Nottingham and Sheffield is probably when I start panicing!!)?

I guess that York should be ok, as my host will be able to point me towards the nearest one!

 

Andy - click here

 

Andy, The only one I know of is at J14 services(There's one just off J15 towards Northampton but that's a little far out of your way . J14 should be far enough up for you to make the refuel in York.

What we really need is a victor tanker full of optimax, so we can refuel mid drive anywhere we like.

 

Rich,

I 'm having problems with that site! I can search and it will display the overview map, but when I click on a petrol station the map doesn't display!

Neil,

Thanks! That will help for the journey back!

Cheers
Andy

 

Andy - Woodall sevices, between J30 & J31 on the M1 (I hope!! )

edited to say - Northbound!

Andy, Woodhall is the last one on the M1 before the M18, thats where i usually fill up when coming from London, and there plenty around York.

Are you going where i think you are going? on Sunday?

Steven

 

Andy

Try 5 minutes

Tells you what fuel is available at which services.

Peter

 

Neil

Just trying to picture you keeping up with a Victor Tanker!

Les

 

Andy I make that journey regularly, fill up in London and have quarter of a tank left in York - 03MYPPP, what car do you drive?

 

Cheers guys!

I think that's sorted then!!

A stop off on the way there, fill up in York and one for the journey home!

It's *only* a MY00 UK with some minor mods (for now!) Although I'm tempted to take some of the new mods up with me, especially with the experience to hand!!

Steven, I guess I'll see you there!

 

Andy's next new mod - spare can of optimax in the boot!

 

Andy depending on which way you are going, there is also one on the M62 at junction 36. If you want alternative directions let me know

 

I think the directions I have are fine, along with the backup of an Autoroute map! Plus these petrol stations are on the route! I'll double check tonight, any issues I'll drop you mail!

Now I just need to find someone willing to fit some drop links and a lower brace on my car!

I guess we'll see you there as well

Kate

 

You saying i need to take my jack and socket set with me, so that Mr Wallis or anyone else for that matter can do it

Only reason i ask re directions, is i think certain people go the long winded way, and certainly autoroute suggests the long winded way

Kate, look forward to meeting you, heard a lot about you

Steven

 

Steven,

You know where I'm going and I'm starting on the M25, so your directions will be useful!

Drop me a mail!

Cheers
Andy

PS - I'm sure our host will have sockets sets and jacks!!!

 

Na his are crap, left em out in the rain the other day, and he snapped some

YHM re directions.

Steven

 

Steven,

Just got them! Much appreciated!

Thanks
Andy

 

Steven - hope it's all good

What are these directions then - any help to us? We were going to use the ones provided by our host

Kate

 

Kate YHM! They should be ok for you as well!

 

Kate, if Andy has forwarded you my directions you should be ok

Steven

 

Thanks Andy - got it.

 

Thanks again to everyone!

Managed to get to York with about 5 hours driving on Saturday afternoon!! Taking nearly 2 hours to get off the M25!!! And it only took half a tank of fuel!!!

Coming back yesterday took just over 3 hours and tank full of fuel!!

 

You found the pedal on the right then

Steven

 

 

Not a problem with the pedals, it was finding a chance to use them!!

I didn't really hit triple figures on the way back!! Bloody weekend drivers!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] (But I'll save that rant for another time!)

 

just noticed this thread, where abouts in York did you go mate, im up here now, could have had a pint

 

I met up with some drunkards (who may or may not have posted on this thread)!!!
