Surely it would be quicker for them to meet as us at Thurrock first?

Re: **Ford Fair South East Convoy**
I don't think there are any stand passes available so you'd have to park in the car park. Ask in the Ford Fair tickets thread to see if a stand pass is available.

Surely its quicker for you to go up the M40 (/A whatever it is! [43?])
M1 is a bit further out of the way...

I have a spare stand pass, as my car is no longer going
If your convoying up with us then i could give it you then.
Have you got any pics of your car so we will know who you are?

Re: **Ford Fair South East Convoy**
Erm, yeah, should be able to as long as he is definitely there on time as we wont want to hang around at each service station for too long.
Meet at lakeside services (just as FITP) to leave at 5:30am prompt
Arrive at South mimms services at around 6:10 to leave at 6:30am prompt
arrive at Newport Pagnell services at around 7.15am to leave at 7.20am prompt
Arrive at Silverstone at just before 8 - show opens to the public at 9.
The route in postcodes:
RM16 3BG Thurrock Services
EN6 3QQ South Mimms Services
MK16 8DS Newport Pagnell services
NN12 8TN Silverstone
Does that sound OK to everyone? Henry, any word from Simon yet?
