Hi All

i was thinking of leaving bout 5.45 6.00am

Convoy is gooood, last year we all meet up at one of the M4 services.. I'm in.

I'm in aswell...As Colin said we all met at one of the M4 services. Was quite a few of us. I think we will all arrange an time and place closer to the date.
But yeah i'm in for meeting you

cheers both

how does cardiff gate services sound just off J30? what time wer you thinking as we have to meet jojo for the clubstand passses at 8am? i was thinking be at the services at about 6am 6.30ish tha should give us a enough time to get to the hotel for jojo and allow a couple of mins for anyone running late?

i'm **** with all road/junction/services name lol. That the one by Cardiff Audi? I'm happy to meet you at any of those times.

yeah should have mentioned tha would have made it easyer lol

Sound's good to me. I remeber last we stopped at a few junction's on the M4 to meet up with fellow ASN member's, we all than meet up with jojo to collect our passes, from jojo's meeting point to Audi Inter's is only a few mile's..

Yeah that was good Colin. We will have to do the same again. I can remember we went through some village and there must of been more than 30+ Audi going through the centre of the village and every one was looking lol.

Ash last year i was trying to get some rolling shot's of your car and Grant's but they all looked blurry lol. Driving at 70ish mph on the M4 and taking photo's is not a good idea (as my wife stated last year).. But i will try again this year..
