Leicester/East Mids convoy (FCS)

[dougie106]

Went round to visit Jai's (Jaif2k4) this morning, got chatting about FCS.

He reckons a couple of people are up for a convoy, was just wondering who was actually interested, just so we can start planning etc - especially as were going to have to leave quite early!

So so far there is

1) Jai (Jaif2k4) and me, cos I'm not bringing Doug :)
2)
3)

right guys - were meeting at 7:00, sunday morning, Wigston McDonalds carpark, then onto the hotel/holiday inn whatever, for half past

all good?

[mikey_b]

i might come with ya, i live over that side of leic anyway so might just meet the doods at the hotels beforehand like last year. let me know where n whenu are plannin on meetin :)

[dougie106]

yeah just want to get some names together so we can sort out where were going to go from and if were meeting anyone en route etc :P
seeing as its not really thaaaat far away... :D few weeks :P

[mikey_b]

indeed, what area u from?

[jaif2k4]

LFE iirc.... i live in glen parva.... where abouts you coming from mikey? i think joe and ben are driving down on the morning.... not sure about anyone else :s ....

[SidewayzSam]

I live about 5 minutes away from Jai so i'll be joining the convoy :D

1) Jai (Jaif2k4) and me, cos I'm not bringing Doug :)
2) Sam (SidewayzSam)
3)

[dougie106]

awesome, awesome

[mikey_b]

i live ni fleckney, not sure if ill be goin down earlier with other staff yet. will let ya know nearer the time

[jaif2k4]

anyone else....?

[dougie106]

i think the word needs to be spread...
anyone know anyone else thats coming along... ?

[SidewayzSam]

Think the previous owner of my car will have his new GTi in a couple of weeks, so he might be coming. And another mate is deffo going to the FCS in his clio, but not sure what time he will be leaving...

Spread the word!! Get spamming lol (only joking if fuzzy reads this :p)

[Joe West]

Ill be up there :)

Im guessin Darell and Ben will too.
If we meet at Swigston McDs then convoy down to the Holiday Inn on the A6 to meet everyone else :)

[SidewayzSam]

What time we planning on leaving?

[dougie106]

that sounds good guys
what time do we need to be there?
and how long does it take...

[Joe West]

BUMP
cause its only 17 days away :) haha

Takes about 15-25mins to get to A6 Holiday Inn
Ill PM Daz to see what time everyone is meetin there from all regions and what time we have to be at the show :)

[quicky con]

anyone looking for cup of tea cruise pass my house ;)

[Ry]

i would be up for that, just let e know where and what time lol

[mikey_b]

u need to get there a bit before it opens really, dont want everyone there stupid early cos we wont be able to sort the stand out with 115+ cars

[Joe West]

Have they planned out where everyone is parking yet?
What time does the show start?

[jaif2k4]

iirc the place opens properly at 9 but clubs are asked to get there from 7.... don't quote me on that though....

[SidewayzSam]

We have to be there between 7 & 9 i think. We're meeting daz and the rest of the east mids lot then all going together, so we really need to find out what time that will be... :confused:

[jaif2k4]

i reckon if we meet with the rest of the east mids lot around 7, as it takes us about 30-45 mins to get there (maybe) then we should be there in enough time......

[pug106quicky]

well i will be going from lutterworth, but i will be leaving early so i can wash the car once im there and detail up. i will need a few hours to do that. if anyone wants to convoy with me as i know exactly where im going i will be leaving at about 6.30????

[Ry]

sounds like a plan, where do you want to meet, holiday inn car park or red arrow?

[mikey_b]

try not to get there too early guys, i know u want to get setup etc but we wont have the stand sorted out by that sort of hour ^^

[SidewayzSam]

What time are the others leaving the holiday inn?

We need to give about half an hour for us to get from Wigston to the holiday inn..

[Ry]

what time is everyone going to be at the holiday inn and whats the postcode?

[SidewayzSam]

Need Daz to confim everything..

[Daz]

Sorry guys but I don't know what time to get there either but I wIll find out:)

The hotel (postcode) I'm staying in along with a few others of here is LE16 7TG

[pug106quicky]

is that the one next to mc donalds and texaco mate??

[Daz]

I couldn't tell you as I don't know the area:)

[SidewayzSam]

Yep that's the one near the texaco and mcdonalds on the roundabout.

We just need to know what time you'll be leaving so that we can make sure we get to you in time to convoy to rockingham.

[mikey_b]

try n get there for bout 8 guys (the show) thats about half hour from the hotel. staff will prob leave earlier to organise the stand (ye thats you Daz - early alarm call :D).

will be hard if everyone arrives with us as we wont be able to sort out who goes where as easy.

[dougie106]

right so aiming to be at the hotel for 7:30
so if we meet at the maccyDs at 7, people will be late etc... ;)
that way we have plenty of time to get there, and get organised
sound okay?

[SidewayzSam]

3 days to go and ive not got my car back yet! Everyone pray for the paint to be dry by saturday!!!!!!!

[Joe West]

How about we go down to the body shop with about 3,000 hairdryers? :p

[SidewayzSam]

Haha! :p

It is gonna be done, but ive gotta take it back after the fcs for them to blend the doors to the wings :o Because they had to put so much filler in the wings, theyve had to paint right up to the door, therefore the sides of the car need blending in.

So my front end is probably gonna be a totally different colour to the rest of the car :eek: ... greaatt!

[jaif2k4]
