ORIGINAL: John Sims

For those who might want to meet up on Saturday, or for those who wish to avoid me [] my plans are:-

7:56 depart my humble abode in Hockley Essex
8:31 Join M25 @ J29
8:57 Arrive South Mimms services where I will wait for 30 minutes (might even have a burger)
9:27 Depart South Mimms
9:37 Join M1
9:40 Pass junction 8
9:45 Pass junction 10
9:58 Arrive J13

Anyone wishing to meet up or intercept me please ring 0788 7791913

Please note that, having just been had for speeding [] I'm in that initial circumspect period at the moment, so I whon't be scorching any speed limits. Sorry to be boring but I guess it's best to come clean at the begining so no one is disapointed.

I would, but I wasn't going to join the M1 until 9:39...

19.8 miles with a trip durration of 40 minutes, that is via Bedford though so could actualy take 3 hours 27 minutes.

I favour the pub down the road with the big car park.

 

[944Turbo]

Down the road from Husbourne? out the auto jumble gate turn left, turn left onto main road for a mile or so then on the left (or left out of the parking field and go straight pub on left?)
If thats the one anyone remember the name?

For those who might like a bit of encouragement on the joys of 944 convoys, herewith a couple of snaps from last year:-

I wonder who the guy in the red car is. Looks like a drummer to me. LMFARO

 

[944Turbo]

The Pub I was thinking of for lunch is the Rose and Crown Here just down the road from the autojumble.
Aiming to be there around 12.30ish onwards, then off to Bedford in the afternoon.

That'll be the one then.

You're not going to the Jumble first?

 

[944Turbo]

Yes I hope to get to the jumble - I was thinking more for those who have not met us before and might want to meet up - Its not always easy to meet at the jumble as people tend to wander a bit randomly even if in a group.

Don't tell me that people have to be that cautious of you lot !

 

[John Sims]

Don't tell me that people have to be that cautious of you lot !

Even more than you could immagine

You kept those pictures quiet, John [][]

So when are you bringing your Strat up to Highgate towers then ??

 

[Mark_Bennett]

Don't forget you only get one chance at a first impression John

- after that you never see them a second time[]

 

[924nutter]

I will endeavour to be at South Mimms services by 09:00, but you know how slow 924s are. I am timing my journey with a calender.

 

[eastendr]

Do Mark / Keith need to let security at Bedford know that there will be a convoy of 944's coming to spectate in the afternoon ?

I hope we can get in, I've just bought a new 'trackday' lens to test tomorrow [][]

 

[944Turbo]

I think 924's are plenty fast enough to get done for speeding - especially with boooooost[]

Rick, not sure about Bedford but never had trouble spectating at other trackdays - anyone spectated at bedford before?

Tony

 

[Diver944]

Yes I have spectated there before. Just drove up to the gate and said I'd come to see a friend at the trackday (mind you, I was not in a convoy [] )

 

[John Sims]

fast enough to get done for speeding

I had forgotten about that briefly[]

Don't you worry 924nutter you whon't be seeing any heroics from me. []

You kept those pictures quiet, John

It's always good to have something in reserve. []

So when are you bringing your Strat up to Highgate towers then ??

Once I learn to play it. Twelve bar blues can get a bit boring, well after five or six hours it can. There is always slow laid back blues with a nice overdriven sustain, or a nice mid tempo blues with nice overdriven sustain and not forgetting the really laid back slow blues best played with some nice overdriven sustain. I've been a bit tied up trying to learn some Marillion numbers the last couple of weeks.

Don't forget you only get one chance at a first impression John

It's been twenty years since I was last evicted from a rehursal hall. [] You're not wrong Mark, but is it better to be remembered for something rather than make no impression at all?[8|] []

 

[924nutter]

Where is there a 13 amp outlet? I could bring my yamaha sg200 and my carlsboro 100w combo. Then we can have a real jam session. Twelve bar blues in the key of A, well if you insist.

Yes I know luxes are plenty quick for the velocity ticket. In the wet too quick for the Omega 2.5 round the bends.

 

[924nutter]

If you have been rehearsing Marillion numbers you should be tied up, or restrained in some other way.

Look out for a "W" suffix reg Guards Red 924 turbo, running on Bayfords 99.7 octane 4* with Boxster S wheels.
