Can most people on the list make this date Please can we have some feedback, so I can start to put things together, locations, suggested accomadation, possible table bookings etc. P.S. This event could include a pass through the Southwick Tunnel if you fancy? Member.....Date......Convoy Point Pondman - 6th Aug - Pease Pottage A23

Southwick tunnel is about 5 miles from my parents place, even my 5 and 6 year olds know the drill. Windows down, change down into 3rd and boot it lol, I know that tunnel well too, long enough to get some good acceleration through it.. in fact Dan, I remember a nice blast through it on our way to the Brighton meet last year. times like this, I wish I still had the coop .. I'd so be on this road trip

Also a good turn around point for the tunnel.

ST are you sure 8th's a Monday Guy's just doing some accommadation searching and found that just a single room for 1 night in the cheapest hotel will be £80ish Before we go any further with this idea are we OK with accommadation costing over £100 for a double room for 1 night? This could also incur parking charges depending on the hotel chosen. Please look at accommadation before commiting. Some deals are better value but require a minimum stay of 2 nights. Have a look and let me know your feelings Ross.

The only other option, would be to rent a house for the weekend and share the cost. I have no idea what that would cost? at least it wouldn't matter what time we roll in Comments......

Good idea Stuart I've looked into it and it's likly that the only available site is HERE It's very basic (ie. no shower block, just a water tap) now, who's feeling brave. It would mean getting a group taxi in and out of Brighton, but the accomadation saving would be substantial.

Some bad news - I might not be able to make it.
Got a serious coolant leak that I need to repair (footwell like a swimming pool). There's a chance the car could be in the garage that day now. I'll keep you updated.

So, what's happening with this one Ross? I don't see much of a convoy heading down? Confirmeds seem to be; Pondman - 6th Aug - Pease Pottage A23 Marco - 6th Aug - toddington services M1 south Thunderbox- 6th Aug - Pease Pottage Services? A23 Hovedan - 6th Aug - blatting down the m4 from Bristol ST212 - 6 Aug - Sussex Pad Who's still coming, looks like it's a convoy from Pease Pottage services on the M23, consisting of Pondman, Marco (hrmm), Thunderbox and myself?

Hi All, I'm unsure as to how many have Realy commited I think the order of events if occuring would be: Final meet up at Pease Pottage Services A23 Run up & over the Dyke Road? Re-join A27, through the Southwick tunnel Cut through Airport road. I've been through and I'm 35mm down on standard ride height. If you were worried about the bridge underpass? Shoreham beach for BBQ - No restrictions on fires or fun Then head to Brighton for a night out for those who are up for it. Please can we have a final head count Accomadation is still a sticky subject though. I might sleep in the car at this rate

Bad news guys - Unfortunately I cant make Saturday now due to an increase workload and the car has a serious coolant leak now.
Getting that sorted next Saturday - Will be going to Tunbridge Wells Italian Car Day though.
Sorry,
ST
