Kimbers 1,966 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I have spoken to Dan and as stated before, will be at Red Lodge, just outside the "Fast Tracks" event centre there, waiting for you all........Even though it just rained on my clean car......grrrrr 😡 There's a really big layby there. If you pull in then that's great, if you drive past I ill have to catch up! By my estimate I reckon you will be there no later than 2:30 so will wait from 2. Quote Possibly save your life.

Chillidoggy 4,517 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Our convoy lasted for as long as it took to exit Birchanger Services and get back onto the M11, about 300 yards. Ironically, we spent half the remaining journey in partnership with a blue V8, who wasn’t part of the original line up. Quote Margate Exotics. Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbers 1,966 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I caught up with the front part, Sparky and Kim etc. And we kept mostly together the rest of the way! Most impressive was I think the Belgian club or French. they went past me at Thetford absolutely nose to tail. No one was getting in the middle of that hoon! Quote Possibly save your life.

chrisroy 4 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Thanks to the m25 I missed the birchanger convoy, but stopped off there for a ped and went cross country to the a11 which was pretty empty, much nicer route than the m11 which looked pretty sticky! Off to the BBQ now 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve1 62 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) As planned I went to the bridge, I think some of you saw me😁, hoped the flag help although the wind didn't as it got in some of the filming. I was getting a few hoots and waves from other drivers, must have been Lotus fans. I've uploaded them on YouTube under "Lotus 70th M11 northbound to Hethel". Apologies though for some dodgy camera work, David Bailey I'm not... Hope some of you spot yours cars... I certainly enjoyed it...😉 Cheers Edited September 28, 2018 by Steve1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hml_xy 90 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 We‘ve just arrived in Maidstone for the night break before we head super early tomorrow morning towards Hethel. 1,5hrs traffic jam in Belgium... Friday afternoon driving fun! Any meet ups or convoys towards the festival site that we can join? We plan to arrive at around 8am in Hethel (so we can get to the club stand before the festival opens) which means we will leave Maidstone at around 6am 😵 Looking forward to finally meet you guys in person!

I was slightly worried about getting my first scratch in the rims!) Nice 👍 Book it in as a high vehicle, more space to the side kerbs. Tunnel company actually advise owners of wide track cars with low profile tyres to do this. I’ve done it loads of times & no problems. Its also amusing to see people in cars pointing and laughing at “the knob in the flashy car” when they think you’ve taken the wrong lane, expecting you to get turned back as you head for the high vehicles lane 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hml_xy 90 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 @PaulCP Thx, good hint! Will definitely do next time! Ferry companies have a „lowered car“ category and I was surprised that the tunnel operates don‘t have that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
