Event Shitefest 2015 5-7th June

[HMC]

Just limped into south mimms services m25, granny overheating....

[M'coli]

Tebay!

[hairnet]

ma eyes - their kilt

[barefoot]

Porsche is packed.

It's amazing how little you can actually get in that boot.

 

Now for a look at the map.

 

I'm thinking A42/M42 - Tamworth, turn right onto the A5 & just follow it?

[mat_the_cat]

Pretty much. And if you're anything like me, turn right up the A41 after Weston-under-Lizard, then take the first left for Burlington to rejoin the A5. And keep your speed up

 

I suppose I'd better get my arse into gear and prepare for Shitefest next wee.....

Oh.

 

I wish it was!

 

I'm stocked up (food, wood and alcohol!) and almost ready to go, although I'll do a bit more on the Stellar first. ETA afternoon sometime - save me a space!

And stop at Hollies truckstop 1 mile before crossing the M6 if you want to meet up between 12:00 and 12:30

Packed, excited, leaving in 15 minutes, bound to have forgotten something.

Lucky enough it's my shift today so didn't need time off.

What time are people hoping to get there?

[trigger]

 

Made it to Corley services on the M6 so far without any drama except that I've forgotten to pack any kind of hoodie/jumper. Bollocks.

[beko1987]

3 more miles done...

There's plenty of woolly jumpers in Wales...

[Skizzer]

I'll chuck a spare jumper in the back for you Trig.

 

I'm just finishing off my VAT return then I'm on the way.  Should get to Llangollen between 5 and 6.

 

Brookjm - sorry to hear you're having Granada troubles, good luck.  (Even) I managed to nurse a Mk1 Golf with HGF from Sussex to the south coast of France once, so I'm sure you'll make it.

[barefoot]

Packed, Locked and Loaded....

 

 

But sadly something none automotive has cropped up and I am unable, at this eleventh hour to attend.

 

Have a most excellent time.

[HMC]

Cooling system sorted, diverted off m1 to a5 to avoid the traffic, and now I think the coil has packed up........

[trigger]

Thanks Skizzer! I'm currently having the worse drive ever. The M6 is at a standstill and I've stuck to the vinyl seats. Been here a hour already due to a lorries trailer snapping in half.

 

[KruJoe]

Ooh Sad times Barefoot. 

I'll raise you a bottle.

 

SVM update...man down..?

[garycox]

STUCK ON M6

 

Bored now.

[Skizzer]

Shit, bad news Barefoot.  We'll have a minute without shoes in your honour.  Maybe not actually, but we will think of you.

 

I'm setting off in a minute, late as usual.  Good luck chaps.

I would love to be "stuck" in that car. Dash looks cool.
