Autoshite Banner Relay !

[Minimad5]

People of Autoshite !

 

The Autoshite banner at the moment is at Stevenage, and if it is possible the final destination is Chester (But i could meet someone at a trainstation in Wales)

 

So i ask, can anyone within that "range" pass it on, like some kind of pass the parcel, untill it reaches a place i can collect it.

 

The reason i am stealing it, is so it can be taken to the next Q Park meet or even Car show.

 

Really hope this happens, as it would be great to finally get afew pictures with the banner, and fly the flag of shite .

(Bet sherpa coupé owners will not be happy)

 

Thanks !

[pogweasel]

I can get it from St. Evenage as far as Burton-on-Trent by Thurs/Fri if that's any use?

[Minimad5]

Thanks Pog, that will be great !

 

Can anyone collect from Burton-on-Trent and pass it on ?

 

(Any chance of keeping hold of it Pog if no one can collect ?, then i will try arrange something)

[Minimad5]

Mr H & Pog , could you two sort out the "passing of the banner" ?

Then once that is done , could you post up a message please Pog

 

Much appreciated

 

 

(Yes sending by Royal Fail would be quicker, but yanno ... this is Autoshite )

[mk1_4dr]

im up for some banner relay.

 

Im down at the RR meet at Trowell, Notts on Wednesday evening.

So if it can get there I can get it up to the m1/m62 interchange.

[Minimad5]

Thanks Dave

 

Would it be sad to have a video of each "passing" ?

Then get one of the mod's to do a Voice over / narration

... yeah it would be rather sad that...

[VWPowered]

if it hits france i'll look after it

How far up the M62 are we talking Dave?

 

Might break out the C4 for some 60 mph derv mingebag economy run, in best AS fashion.

[Mr Lobster]

I'll be passing the M1 / M62 interchange on Saturday morning and am in Scouse all next week ( ) so getting it to Wirral no problem. Might even be able to retrieve from Burton if Pog brings it up as I do need to go down that way to Leicester and could probably do it Friday...

[Mr H Sceptre]

I'm away in Birmingham fron Thursday until Saturday or possibly Sunday, but am more than happy to either hang on to the banner/do a stint from Leics up the M1 anytime next week......

[FredTransit]

Let me know if you want it to come South, I still have a van in Sheffield I need to get back.

[Minimad5]

Wow ... erm

 

Okay

So by the looks of it, it can go (Day permitting)

 

Mr H - to - Pog

Pog - to - Mk1_4dr

Mk1_4dr - to - Watanabe / Mr Lobster

 

If Jon (Watanabe) collects, i can meet you at the usual place Jon (Altrincham)

If Mr Lobster collects, i wil pick it up from what ever place is best.

 

Can you guys try sort out what day & times (and so on) Please ?

 

Much Appreciated

I can get it from St. Evenage as far as Burton-on-Trent by Thurs/Fri if that's any use?

PM me to arrange collection. I'm in possession of the banner as we speak, at work in Stevenage. Its in the boot of the Audi 100LS which I'm afraid won't do over 10mph at the moment so Biggleswades a bit too far with its sheered in half exhaust pipe.

 

I'm here until end of Thurs but if collection were to be on Friday I'd have to leave it in charge with someone else here.

[Station]

I can collect from Manchester to Wirral if it gets there!

 

Does anyone have a pic of the banner?

[Mr H Sceptre]

Here it is, a few years ago tied to my old AD016 at Chatsworth. Apologies for small photo size.

 

[pogweasel]

EL, you has PM

[Electric Leyland]

Pog collects in the morrow for leg 1 of the Around Britain Tour of the Banner 2010.

 

Looking fwd to seeing her in action at the car show.

[Minimad5]

Thanks Electric Leyland & Pog !

 

2nd leg, do we have a plan ?

 

(As i think i am right in saying, that mk1_4dr & pogs days to "handover" are different)

 

P.s:

 

Electric Leyland, i shall take many pictures of fellow shiters with the banner.

 

Edit:

Just for a laugh, we should get pictures of the "handover"

[Mr H Sceptre]

Right, I've got a bit of a change of plan. It now looks like I'll be available to get involved in any handover/driving from this Thursday lunchtime onwards*

 

*arrangements may change a little, dependant on forthcoming text from mate.

[Pete-M]

If this hasn't been sorted (I've not yet read page two), I'm up and down the M6 between Brum and L'pool a few times a week. If the banner ended up between Brum and Warrington or similar then I could do the final relay.

[Minimad5]

I think the only problem is getting it from Pog.

As i think Mk1_4dr is only free on Wednesday (I guess he means tomorrow and not next week ?)

 

Thanks Pete, i'm sure your assistance shall be required

[Mr H Sceptre]

Right, OK then, so Pog picks it up tomorrow.

 

Pog, when might you be passing Leicester? If its any time tomorrow then you could drop it off with me as I'm travelling to Brum this Thursday morning.....

 

Failing that, if you cant get it to me tomorrow, I'm happy to do a separate trip to Brum whenever is convenient.

 

I'll PM you in case you dont get to read this.

[pogweasel]

Right, I will be collecting from EL tomorrow.

 

On thursday I travel to Burton-on-trent for work.

I will be staying in digs near there thursday night (whatever Premier Inn is nearest), but I'll travel a bit if needs be as I'll be bored on the night.

 

Alternatively I will also be working there saturday night.

 

Once I have collected the banner and am heading north I will publish my contact number, so anyone passing or local will be able to get in touch.

 

Can't say fairer than that...

[Guest]

If you give me a rough location, I can act as some kind of villain attempting to screw things up for you, think along the lines of The Interceptor.

[Mr H Sceptre]

Right, I will be collecting from EL tomorrow.

This sounds like things are falling into place.

 

I'll get it off you Pog, & will then liaise with Pete M for a Brum handover, then it looks like Pete should be able to take it pretty much up to its final destination.

 

In theory.

[Electric Leyland]

Stage 1 complete.

 

Lovely to meet you at last Pog and enjoyed the chat.

 

Good luck with the handover for Stage 2.

 

EL

[mk1_4dr]

Yeah, Im down Notts way this eve for the Trowell meet.

 

If it ends up that Pete can't collect, I'll see if I can get down next week, Mon/tues/wed sometime.

[Minimad5]

This seems to be going alot smoother than i thought.

 

Well done guys

[Mr Lobster]

Failing that, I can collect from Mr HS at some point in the next week as I will be in Leicester at some point over the next seven days or so...

[Mr H Sceptre]

Cool.

 

I think Pog said he was in Burton on Trent tomorrow night, so I'll see if I can get in touch & take the Maxi fofr a spin up there tomorrow night....
