paul

Hi guys,
You may have already guessed it but I am a marshall at the meet.
I am not a fair guy so I will be throwing anyone out I don't like ....and anyone with a green coupe or brown shoes for that matter (hate them).
Hope to see you all there guys.....well,people without green coupe's that is.....lmao
Paul
Joking BTW.....hope to see you all there for a chin wag.

If you are talking about the BIAMF event on 24th April, then I was going to suggest that the South wales entrants meet up and travel down in convoy (sorry - across) to Bristol.

But as I will be wearing my favourite brown shoes, I'll see you there instead.

Well.....I could let the brown shoes go,this once.
As long as you don't wear a cardi or drive a green coupe,Should be ok

What time is everyone meeting and could do with a meeting place,say one of the services ?
Paul

I think this dialogue should be taking place on the BIAMF link? Clicky

This has now been merged, thanks

As this is now less than 2 weeks away, I thought I would try and arrange a meeting place for those travelling east and over the bridge.

I suggest that we meet at either Macdonalds on the Coldra (Newport M4) or Magor services?

I believe that the entire group needs to meet just outside Bristol in order to park together, and maybe JOE can advise us on where and when?

@Spit - If SAM turns up wearing brown 19+++shoes, then you better look out!

I will mate

If most are doing M4 then M32 then there isn't really anywhere to meet before you get into the city centre. Could do M4 then M5 South and meet at Gordano Services. Its a bit of a detour but easy drive from there into Bristol.

Anyone not in Wales will want to keep away from the bridge (TOLL!!!). Gordano Services seems like the most convenient and it's on an exit so north or southbound on M5 it's a great spot. I'm up for this. I'll PM Joe and see what he thinks.

Sorry for the silence, I've only had time to lurk recently.

For all the guys travelling down the M5 the best route is along the M4 and M32 as it brings you straight into Bristol and you don't need to do the extra mileage along the M5 but if we are going to attempt a meet a good point would be the Texaco garage on the A38 after coming off junction 16 of the M5.

Pace Patchway, Patchway, South Gloucestershire BS34

clicky click

From here it's straight down the A38 into the old town and we should be on Corn street again.

What do people think?

Joe it looks like a good plan to me.

What time would we need to meet here?

@ the welsh contingent - anyone want to meet up somewhere on the M4 first and then on to JOEs meeting place? Spit,DaveJones,Samsonite,Sparkysox?

Fine with me - but I'll be following Joe anyway

Joe, that petrol station is on the northbound side of the dual carriageway and would require going back on yourself twice to get going in the right direction. Might I suggest that you meet at the pub on the southbound side a little further back up the road? Pub car park
Just a suggestion as I'm not even taking the coupe down there, but thought it might help...

James

Yes,whatever really....just let me know what is eventually decided.
Paul

I've asked Paul from BIAMF to confirm what time he wants us all there but from memory it should be around 7am so it looks to be an early meet at the garage. As soon as I've had a reply I'll update the thread.

Sam are you joining Phil and myself on the M5 somewhere, junction 7 would be good if you're going that route?

Fingers crossed that the car will be ready for this, if so will you be going down the M50 or jumping straight on the M5 Joe? I'll be up for meeting somewhere along the way.

Pending Sam's route I'm sure Phil and I could meet you at junction 2 of the M50.

Ok I've been chatting with Paul today and he's asked me if there's anyone who'd like to marshal?

If so you need to be in Bristol for 6.45am for a marshals briefing, your entry fee will be refunded and you'll also receive a free gift

Marshall's will be expected to be there to also see cars off so be aware it'll be a long day.

As for a time for the group to arrive and be parked, Paul says 7.00-7.30am so we can get a good spot, if we arrive later we'll be parked down a side street so it's important to take advantage of the placing.

I propose us meeting at the garage at around 6.30am, from there it's only 10 mins to Bristol.

What's peoples opinions?

6:30 - sounds good

06:30 !!! I hope that garage sells strong coffee

OK 06:30 it is then.

If anyone From wales wants to meet up first en route to this garage I propose Macdonalds on the Coldra Newport at 06:10 prompt. (mmm more coffee)

I'll be popping down in the morning albeit not with my Coupe on display.

I'll be at the the garage for 6.30!! At least there's no traffic that time of the morning!

That's exactly why I love early morning runs to coupe meets.

Doesn't matter which model I'm cruising down the motorway in, it's the empty motorway except the general lane hoppers, dawn sky and the road.

If the weather stays fine it'll no doubt be another great meeting like last year

If anyone hasn't received their Entry pack by Thursday can you please email Paul and let him know you've been missed off the list, his email is:
