Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - samass - 22-05-2012
you must have failed your cock driving test...
ray bans and indicators are major fail points, as is letting people go at junctions. minor infractions include, but are not limited to, driving more than 7 feet from the car in front, checking your blind spot, and using the middle lane of the motorway when there is space in the 'fast' lane

Hmmm I f*cked up then! Would of been easier if I bought a BMW or Audi. On the skoda, the big magnet in the front bumper is a expensive option that work didn't want to pay for. Standard on the BMW and Audi.
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - samass - 22-05-2012
ah well, better luck next time! i think there was a couple of beemers and audis at bridges, they looked to have the magnetic bumper, you should go pick one up!

Need the compatible oakleys and brown loafers to go with for it to work.

hmm true.. looks like you might have to hold off on that license!
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - lolsteve - 29-05-2012

Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Poodle - 29-05-2012

walkie talkies could also be useful - if you only have 2, split between front and back could be useful.

...which usually ends well

Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - lolsteve - 29-05-2012
Saw the walkie talkie app afterwards *dam* Having real ones might save some mobile phone battery life /internet charges for the front/back like you mentioned

Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - KrisB - 09-06-2012
Is anyone driving up Satirday? Can meet at the services just north of guildford.
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - ginge191 - 09-06-2012
Kris, check the south convoy with cully and lobb..?
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Niall - 10-06-2012
Ginge there Going up the m5. No where near us
I now will probably be turning up on Saturday morning or maybe Friday eve. Got too much to do so need to use the day off.
Kris, you going m25, m1?
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - KrisB - 10-06-2012
Okay, well me and Mark are gonna Leave Aldershot (guildford) at 10am. That'll put us at the A3M or whatever services you guys spoke about for about 1020 am. Then m25 and m1.
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Niall - 10-06-2012
Well if I go up on the sat, I'll be at Scott's so leaving from there so probably be able to meet at the first services on the m1.
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - lolsteve - 10-06-2012
Are me and Poodle the only Hdi drivers? Since Enfuels in pretty much on the way if anyone wanted to top up with biodiesel
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - 4WayDiablo - 10-06-2012

FCS Convoy from South - blad - Matt - 10-06-2012
Okay I'm back to going up on Friday
FCS Convoy from South - blad - Matt - 12-06-2012

4WayDiablo Wrote:right thought id get something together..
convoy start here... tesco north harbour, i suggest a meet point somewhere where the marker is, its out of the way yet easy to access
Address: SOUTHAMPTON RD, SOLENT, PORTSMOUTH PO6 4SR
[attachment=3]
then moving on up to "wisley northbound filling station" / little chef
Gu236pt
[attachment=2]
then carry on up the A3 onto the M25 and Up the M1
stopping off along the way if members want to join the convoy (or we can call ahead as were coming up to locations so they can meet us along the way of this general route)
[attachment=1]
just thinking of somewhere possibly just north of london to meet the london area lot maybe somewhere at the start of the m1? or near luton maybe?
just found this, this is where we met on the way to coventry, toddington services LU5 6HR
[attachment=0]
as for times i think atm were undecided, if people want to get there for a certain time or if people finish work at a certain time then we shall see what we can do
early time wise is ginge is getting the ferry at 1pm so leaving portsmouth at 1:30pm to get to wisley services for around 2:20 pm leaving there at 2:40
luton area for 3:30pm
camp site for approx 5pm
now lets see what time people finishing work will do to that
our end location will be the camp site:
Beechwood Park
Main Road
Elvaston
Thulston
Derby
DE72 3EQ
Is this the route then?
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - ginge191 - 12-06-2012
matt, i'll wake up, and sort it over a cuppa later, seeing as oneway isn't going now
FCS Convoy from South - blad - Matt - 12-06-2012
Cool, I just want to read it over a few times and familiarise myself with the route and stops

lol you're telling me
Re: FCS Convoy from South (Friday - final edit) - ginge191 - 12-06-2012
Anyone wanting to convoy, please check and familiarise yourself with the route.
If anyone doesn't want to stick with the conbvoy and meet us an hour down the road, thats fine, just familiarise yourself
Re: FCS Convoy from South (Friday - final edit) - ginge191 - 14-06-2012
