no worries cheesy.
i'm thinking random as it saves messing about all day re-arranging as others turn up as i know it's not possible for everyone to be there by a certain time plus others could turn up on the hoof, all will be welcome even if you didn't have your name down.

if you do a search on u tube for stanford hall there is some footage of loads of ferraris turning up at the same time.
looks really impresive
imagine 27 coupes and one bravo all turning up at the same time

just a thought

Oh yes, this will HAVE to happen.

Has anything been sorted for a convoy from the northwest yet?

lets throw this back to coupedave the easygoing organiser

what do you recon dave...a huge great convoy in at a set time

ok i see what i can sort out!!
leave it with me my coupe bretheran!!

ok i think we'll aim to meet at swinford which is just down the road, ideally i would like to get the bulk of us there between 8.30 and 9 so we can find our area and get the cars parked up etc but understand not everyone will be able to do that, think if it's possible we should aim to be at swinford for 8.30 as it's only about 5 mins down the road from memory.
this is right at the end of the M6 so however long it takes from where you are all meeting.
which services is best for you lot travelling down, taffy, trev, cowboy and me are all travelling the day before and staying over in lutterworth.
you say where you will all meet and i'll put up a post

just looking now what about knutsford services or lymm??

ok there are no decent car parks in swinford but there is a lay by on the a14 just after it passes under the M1 just after the roundabout on the right hand side

what do you all think??

heres the link

that would be spot on!!
maybe get someone to film it too

lymm to swinford is approx. 1hr 45mins according to route finder so that would mean you all leaving lymm at 6.30-6.45 ish to get to swinford for 8.30.
knutsford apparently takes 5 mins less.

i think we need to establish where is best for you all to meet up to set off.

barmybobs boy is your man if you want it filmed

excellent we could chuck him in over the hedge while we wait outside!!!!!
any thoughts about the gathering place

its the time thats a problem
its over two hours for me so if you want to meet before nine i would have to leave about 6.30 and theres only one 6.30 in my life amd its folowed by pm

LOL I'm sure we can sort something out matey!!

i may not be able to stay all day. Would that create problems or would i be able to leave fairly easily? Not sure how these things work.

no probs stay as long or as short as you want, we'll make sure to put you where you can get out easily, remind me on the day!!

Cheers Dave. How do these things work then? Do we park up in a field and sit around whilst people walk around the cars or is it fenced off somewhere? If i leave a bit early am i going to have to drive through loads of people?

im following Frary so ill let him organise it all, is that all right Frary.

we will be parked in an allocated area which is indicated on the map but don't worry as they have marshalls who show you where to go.
it's not fenced off so access is easy, generally if it's like last year there are literally loads of cars to see, if the weather is good you can get good pics.
last year me and taffy parked up and had a gander round then went back to the cars for a bit, had a chat with people, then went round for another look a few times.
there are refreshments available from vans and the hall, there are toilets round the back of the hall and some trade areas too selling memorabilia, model cars, posters, all the usual stuff.
was a very good day last year and scorching hot!! word of warning though if it is wet then bring boots or wellies as all the cars are on the grass so you'll get your feet wet otherwise.
i may bring my pop-up gazebo too just incase

ok then lets say meet at the layby no later than nine to do the convoy thingy if you like, lie in for all!!!!
well for us anyway, probably no more than 20 mins away!!

just a quick thought, does everyone like pepsi/diet pepsi as i can get it cheap from work.

I'm good for the layby and cheap drink

LOL don't know if you should broadcast that!!!!

Lymm Truck Stop Services or Knutsford is fine for me (southbound I presume). Both have decent car park sizes so no worries there.

Oh and Diet Coke / Pepsi's fine for me and Mrs MABR if you're selling it cheap.

If it's 9am final meet time then we'll only need to leave Lymm / Knutsford Services at 7am - I think?

that's what i was thinking, bit nicer for you lot travelling down, only fair.
think the gates for the show open properly at 10am.

Looks like the first main service area I reach is the Corley one on the M6?
