Question

Starting from junction 31 on M25 going anti-clockwise round to the M4 and then on to Bristol, is there any motorway services with Shell Optimax??

I will fill up with Optimax prior to leaving but with all the flames and fun I may need a refill

There is one optimax station on the A420 out of Chippenham on the way to Combe. Good as a refuel point for the way home.

Nick,

STI's will struggle to do a return journey on a tank as Chris D*** realised at last years Rally Day.

If you are at the Dick Turpin thursday I am sure he will enlighten you.

I was thinking the same!!! Do not think I will make it there and back!!

Check out www.fiveminutesaway.co.uk . It tells you what petrol companies operate at different services on the motorways, unfortunately I can't access it from over here in France - so if you do find out could you let me know?

Cheers
Peter

3Times/SU3ARU I was actually refering to a refill getting there

The only way my scoob would make a return journey without filling up is if I fitted it with pedals and a chain onto the rear diff

I believe if you come off at junction 13 M4/A34 there is an Optimax refueling station

according to the shell website

Try this boyz.

Don't forget to "check" the Optimax box bottom right column.

OPTIMAX SEARCH HERE

If you can make it to Slough then J7 of M4 onto A4 then either Shell station 1 or 3.
CLICK

And when you get there.This one is in Chippenham just down the road from the track.
CLICK
