Default Ford Fair 2013 - Pre Show meet? Convoy??

I will be leaving from Solihull to go the show on the morning so just wondering whether or not anyone was interested in meeting up either the night before hand or sorting out a meeting place in the morning so we can all head up together to the show...

the Focus ST owners forum peeps meet at the Tesco in Cov, just off the M6 and then stop at the services on the m40 and then head to Silverstone.

thread:
http://www.focusstoc.com/forums/topi...r-convoy-2013/

from the thread if you cant see it

Meeting points:

1. Tesco Ricoh Arena Coventry
Enter Tesco car park at the lights on A444 (Burger King on the Corner) turn left at island and meet in the car park on the right.

Departing at 06:15

2. Warwick Services M40 South Bound

Meeting point

Departing at 07:00

Traveling from Rugby. Putting the route into Google maps this is what it has come out with.
Rugby -> Tesco Ricoh Arena -> Warwick services Southbound -> Silverstone.
Not saying this is the best route so open to suggestions.


be warned, the guys do have a heavy foot....

was writing out all the envelopes for all the guys on the passionford stand and there is so many travelling from all over the country and europe to be on our stand it will be a logistical nightmare for me to organise regional convoys so good on you for doing it

Yeah thought that might be the case.

I'm in talks with the ZSOC to sort out a midlands based convoy so hopefully if that goes together then I'll put details here for locations and times
