If I have my car, I'd like to join the convoy - where is South Mimms services?

If I don't have my car by then, I want sympathy.

Make that 2 of you - I'm west London, and RichR and richards are around the Kingston area - so I'm in the middle of you all. If you want a big convoy, somewhere near the M40 M25 junction may be the best idea, since I assume we want the M40 to get there - fairly big assumption given that I only know the airfield is somewhere in oxfordshire.

I'm in West London too, and would be happy to meet up beforehand.

Coming from W2, so let me know if you are close and want to catch up.

Cheers

Scott, Jake, Colin and co.
Well, we need to sort this out (meeting point on M40)

How about Junction 2 of the M40 (Beaconsfield - M40 crosses A355)

There's a services there? Bonus!

Chu, do you know that there's a services there? If so, that would be good, otherwise I'd just look for a suitable place to stop, as there aren't any obvious services stations around the M40.

Colin, I can make 8:30, but the others may not be able to - you won't be last if we in convoy!

Junction 2 of M40 is good for me, but how about 8:30am rather than 9am as I don't want to arrive last, especially after arranging the day !!!

Sorted - I'll be at junction 2 at 8:30, flagging down anyone in an impreza.

Scott, Jake, Ian - let us know how far you've got after 8:30 - if you're anywhere near we could wait.

Tyres completely mangalled though, the car didn't feel the same around the M25 for its second time today.

Thanks again...Ian (Silver STI V5 H5 WRX)

I also had a great time, only overheated the brakes on the last run, sorry I missed you Jo, kept meaning to go and ask every lady there if her name was Jo, but somehow never got around to it!

Ref lunchbox, that was me, sorry Scott! If you want a new one let me know where you got it from and I'll sort you one out.

I did lend you my spanner/socket set though!

Did the car come back on boost and get home ok?

Jake

Was me, boohoo, had a wicked day up until then though.

God I really enjoyed that second session where there was me and a red car which I overtook and then we overtook everything. he he.

Jake sorry I missed you, I was rather looking forward to putting more names to faces. But I'm afraid the ol cambelt cover put pay to that.

Ian nice bloke thanks for your wrench kit help and lifts to the RAC man.

To the man that destoyed my titanium kevlar Lunchbox, I will want it replacing. Please contact NASA and give them your credit card details.

Dont worry scott you didnt miss me I was parked up beside you most of the day (blue 4 door uk with trashed tyres) I should have made more of an effort to put names to faces. I am sure I have seen you in Highgate and Muswell hill area I used to have a black WRX J8 KEA. Ring any bells.
