29th works for me. How about a convoy for those of us heading up from London?
spring uk meet
- Thread starter jamesr
- Start date
Sounds good to me, will be quite a sight heading up the motorway!
I often wondered where the number plate 30 csl was in the UK - had a look on that insurance database and its on a csl but the car is not currently taxed or hasn't been for years according to the DVLA website.
Wonder where this one is hiding?

Too new to put on a csl though otherwise it would be a good number for one.
i can make the 29th. see u all there. only if its sunny?.

good question, what's the consensus on this? When i contacted them i wanted to be as up front as possible concerning the weather, as they'll be saving us a spot to park. I said if it's raining we probably won't be there. Not that we're a bunch of trailer queens!
Saying that, it's the same weekend as glastonbury, so i'm not holding my breath.

I'd be up for it post MOT retry. Hackney resident, willing to travel.
im keen but if its raining i'd probably be staying home - seen enough of the stuff and the csl will dissolve!

Still trying but unlikely to get time off work! Work shifts and not many people to swap / change shifts over a weekend.
If I manage to twist an arm, I will come down in my CSi. It, like me, is presently a bit rough around the edges and needs a wee bit TLC!
Its a 375 mile trip each way for me. I would hate to get 250 or so miles down if the rain then came on. I'd need to find a tree to hide beneath.
Have a great trip guys - if I dont make this one I am most certainly going to make the next one.

Like the rest, if it's raining I'll probably not bother.
But as it will be the height of the glorious British summer I'm sure it will be OK!!
Oh no, hold on, last summer I lived on bottled water for 2 weeks after Tewkesbury got flooded and we all had to wash in water from a bowser.
Eternal optimist.

Got through MOT after a little bit of welding which was so rewarding. I may be traveling from Oxford so I think I'll meet the London drivers somewhere else on the M1. If you want to make your coupe look good park it next to mine as a little rough around the edges is an understatement.
See you on 29th.

right then, suppose we need to try an sort out some meeting places as 'allegedly' it's going to be overcast but sunny this sunday.
Checked the AA route planner and it reckons that it'll take about 3hrs 20 (150miles) from my house in SE London to Cosford. For once, due to the time that we'll be travelling, this info might actually be almost accurate!
So, where do people want to meet? The planners saying get onto the M1 at junction 2, then up the M1 until junction 19 to get onto the M6. We could also do with a meeting place near to the venue (TF11 8UP).
As we need to be there and parked up by 9am at the latest, i'm going to be leaving mine at 5am.

I can meet you on the M1 somewhere James, looking forward to it but now I have new front springs I worry about the dreaded wheel arch catching!

If the weather's good, I'll be coming from the M5 so could maybe do a meet on the A41 somewhere beforehand? If anyone else is travelling up from the M5 let me know and we can get a mini-convoy going.

I'll be getting on the M1 at its start in London, so can meet anywhere on the way. Just outside the M25 would catch the most folks for a London convoy. Looks like junction 8 (A414).
Sorry lads i will not be attending, due to my car being in a accident. so have fun and hopefully, i will be able to meet up with all of you soon.
