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

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! :o

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 :D:D:D

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!! :D

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

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:D

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:D

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

Kate, look forward to meeting you:D, heard a lot about you;)

Steven:D

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;):p:D, left em out in the rain the other day:D, and he snapped some:rolleyes:

YHM re directions.

Steven:D

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:D

Steven

Thanks Andy - got it.

Thanks again to everyone! :D

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

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

:D

You found the pedal on the right then;)

Steven:D

:D

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

I didn't really hit triple figures on the way back!! :eek: 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 :D

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