Good call. Fingers crossed that traffic doesn't spoil the plans.

For this to work I would suggest printing the list out and trying to hit the junctions at the right times, it will be all too easy to get there too early :roll: :burnout:

:? Pull in where?

I can phone Paul as we pass the juction (texting isn't an option)
all you need to do is stop him talking(not easy) :roll:
get in your cars and catch us up :burnout: :burnout: :wink:

Pulling in at every juction isn't really practical

Everyone should also make sure their fueled up, getting eleven cars together only for one to stop for petrol would be a tad silly :chair:

Shouldn't need to pull in.
I've timed most of it at a mile per minute (60mph). It may seem a tad slow but it will allow you to adjust your speed to pass each junction at the correct time without having to exceed the speed limit (unless the variables get switched on at something lower than 60 :roll: )

Have set my clock to BBC and have a lay-by just before the M1 that I'll lurk in to get best timings.

Will also call RIP (as have his number) as I join, if that is ok with you RIP?

Looking forward to the event! :D
