Hi Mat,
Yeah this is the service station. But be careful using the Postcode. I'm 99% sure the postcode even though its on the service station website the postcode is for the road behind the services which you can not gain access to the services from this road. As you drive up the M5 its after the Thornbury/ Dursley junction.

Looks like 3 from here so far with other people going from Wales so looks like we could have a good convoy from here.

Cut, Paste and add your name to the list if your looking at meeting at thisCconvoy point so we can get an idea of how many will be turning up.

Ive added your names to the last Mat and Nick just to get the ball rolling if you could just confirm your up for this meeting point that would be great. Not long until the Sun (fingers crossed) and BBQ :thumbup:

Ok so I have picked up the convoy tickets and have also picked up OMI's convoy tickets. Its under a week away now so let get cleaning

Thinking the same about the rain..... Maybe clean it and cover the car in tin foil so it doesnt get dirty Im also going to clean it saturday. May take the wash mit up with me and a bottle or two of water to get all the bugs off from the trip up. Damn sounds like im getting a little OCD

According to most weather sites there is no, or very little rain predicted for most of this week in my area and NN17 5AF area.

I'm going to clean mine tonight, and hope for the best. I don't need to be too OCD mine is satin so looks clean even when it isn't

Although since the hose pipe ban in my area, after using a wash mitt and bucket to wash my car the other day, the morning after one of my headlights has misted up inside and won't go away now...been mist free for 4 months and comes back the week of Japfest :bad-words:

Leave the light on for 30 mins or get a hair dryer then a tube of bathroom silicon, cover the top part of the light and presto no more water droplets in the lights. I had to do this on my last civic worked very well.

It wasnt suppose to rain here today but its been pouring down nearly all day :scratch:

Going to try that when I get home. Had to use hairdryer method first time but tried it again other day and it came back just as bad the day later. Annoying. Haven't tried bathroom silicon seal though, cheers.

cleaning mine again on saturday afternoon..

having a white car especially with white wheels - nightmare - when i drive up i will try not to use my brakes at all - that should help keep them clean and dodge all the flies

will bring some quick detailer and microfibers - wouldn't go anywhere without em.

as per usual i won't be washing my car on the stand, it will be cleaned for about 12 hours on saturday, that should be enough hopefully!!


mat.

Mat - I don't mind chipping in with the food. What should I bring along

anything you fancy eating mate, i'll bring the same as last time ('cept this time i'll bring some cheese slices and some onion as well if i remember) and if you fancy anything special just bring it along and i'll cook it for you!


mat.

I'm looking forward to this but not the early start (who's silly idea was this :scratch: )

As for car cleaning well mine will get a quick clean on Saturday if I get chance so if anyone wants to look extra clean just park next to me

I have no idea whos silly idea this was Oh wait yes I do :thumbup:

I will be getting up around the time you guys are leaving

On the car cleaning front I'm spending pretty much all day saturday cleaning (weather permitting) aint going bother cleaning it on the stand

I dont really want to be cleaning it on the stand but from the long trip up it may need a quick 'dip with the mit'.

the cruise control will be set, coffee in hand and the laser star watching out for any speed traps
