yeah some will have FAT fiestaturbo.com stikers sitting in there car like
am i ment to follow him to FITP
how long is the jurney??
i think 6am is cool so we will get there at 8.30 so it gives up 30mns to get in.
i thought the gates close at 9 for showing cars o if we get there at 9 and r 10mins late they might not let us in
and 6am gives us some time to stop at services and take out time

There's an option to meet up with the 25+ car convoy from the NW at Corley Services on the M6 and it'll take us an hour 30 to get there and that convoy won't be getting there until 7:40 so I'll leave it up to you

i dunno if this will interfare but its the radio on1 big weekend in dundee( i think) so there might be a bit of traffic heading north
meet at 5.15 then leave when were ready
if we get there first they can follow our arses

I still think, easiest option...
5am - meet at sainsburys
5.30am - head on to corley services
7-7.30am - arrive at corley services
7.40am - head on to fitp with the rest of the gang.
One question, if someone at the back needs to stop, are we out of the convoy then?
Or everyone has the person at the fronts number and we tell them to 'pull the f*ck over, my rusty fords on fire'?

Just to warn you chaps, you should probably be aiming to get there at 8am rather than 9am. Queues at 9am will be horrendous, because that's when doors open. Show cars should ideally be arriving between 6am and 9am. 
My name is Alex. I used to have a Capri. I don't anymore. But I'm still called Capri.

all maccy d's should be open at 6.30am,
oh f**k were leaving at 5
yeah that is true 'capri' if we get there at 8.30-9 it will take ages to get in the gates and at 9 they might just shut the gate for show cars and the rest has to park outside
i say get there for 8 and get 'rs rawli' to leave a bit earlier too,

Well if you want to arrive earlier we could just skip Corley Services and go straight there? We'll probably stop at least once anyway.

skip the meet, we'll get left in the dust by them anyway (except ash) and no doubt we'll meet them along the way anyway.
thats what i think anyway, then stick with the times of
meet at 5, leave at 5.30.
