wont be any convoy though mate as hardly anyone will be up but your welcome to meet me at J5 on the M1 unless your heading up the A40, but its a early start as most convoys from the south meet up later

Lol no probs, that is one of the best parts of a car show is the road trip there and back, I'm glad I'm leaving early as we had to pull over last time I went to due to overheating in the ford car park just on the main stretch before silverstone as the traffic there is ridiculous lol
