Would this be suitable for a first timer. Would love to take my legacy estate out for a blast. And it will be my Birthday!!!!
What does "open pit lane mean"??

 

Luke,

go for it It'll be my first time and it's a great track (having been a passenger).

Open pit lane means you can come and go as you want.

Well i won't be going round the track but i'll come and watch, as i only live down the road.

If anyone wants to meet up for a little convoy let me know.

Ady

 

Ady,

make sure you come and say hello to me then .... mine's the Catalunya ... probably won't miss me anyway ... I'll be the one going round the track at about 30 miles an hour

 

Ady ... if you only live down the road .... why would you want to make up a convoy (you muppet you)

 

Rebecca

I don't know?

But thought i'd offer anyway

Ady

P.S Are you going to be there all day?

 

Ady,

hopefully yes I will be there all day

 

Rebecca

I will be coming down M1, do you want to meet?

When i say i live down the road its 30 miles away.

Ady

 

coming down M1?????? which way .... so where are you coming from?


still haven't quite decided whether I'm going from Suffolk or London so either A14 then M1 or M1 all the way.
Bex

 

Well i can meet you at Leicester Services if you like on the M1.

Up to you.

Ady

 

what time Ady?

 

Hi Bex

7
8
9
10?

Ady

 

work backwards then .... how long will it take to get to Dono from Leicester services or wherever?

haven't been told yet, but assume there's some sort of briefing? it kicks off at 9am ....

Bex

 

10-15 minutes.

about 2 hours from London, depending on time of day.

 

How about 8 then at Leicester Services ... then we can grab a quick drink or something and aim to be at Dono for about 8.30 ... is there a good place to meet at Leicester Services (BTW which junction is it near)?

and if we're talking about living down the road ... you could say I live down the road from Dono .... just happens to be one bloody long road

 

Right 8 it is.

I'll post on here which junction its near.
As i'm from other direction, hehehehehe

 

lol at Ady ....

would you rather meet at Donington Park services then instead?

 

I don't mind either way, Donno services, Leicester services, Watford Gap all the same to me. I cant seem to get out of my car.
Hehehehehehehe

 

Does this mean you have to do everything in the car

Let's say Dono services then .... as it's nearer .... at 8-8.15 .... just a question of where......

 

Ok then

Just as you go into the car park to the services.

Surely there can't be that many scoobs at that time of morning.

 

That's true .... what you got?

 

P1 and yours is a Catalunya

 

that won't be hard to spot then

isn't there lots of different bits to the services though? ie not just petrol station but McD's etc etc etc

 

LOL

This is getting funny now.

I've no idea, only been in there for petrol before.

 

certainly extending the thread anyway ....

well I'm sure that at the time of the morning we won't miss each other ... based on the premise that I doubt there'll be that many women hanging around a service station in a black scoob

Bex

 

are we finally sorted, do you think?

 

Think so, or shall we start again for a laf!

 

right ... so Ady ... what time do you want to meet?
