LOL see my post above, look where I was at the weekend,( falling out of the door of Chameleon) I moved down here from southend, its a piece of pi55 to get to bristol, and think thornbury is close to that, have a look at the above threads. A127 to M25 M25 to junction 15 M4 then follow to M5 south. Bristol is signposted from there.
I live 260 miles from southend in north devon and I got home in 3 1/2 hours reckon its about 2 hours from southend

if thornbury is too far may have to pull out of this, as im not going back up the M4, its enuff to go to cribbs and back 200 miles, perhaps I should have stopped in the car park at cribbs for the week when I came home from southend LOL

Thornbury isn't far from Cribbs, about a 15min drive?
You could drop the missus off, and then pick her up again later on after going to the RR

There seems to be a lot of hassle with this damned Thornbury thing.
The details at the moment (Subject to change) are 1/12/02 RR at Thornbury. Thornbury is one junction down from Cribbs, about 15 minutes drive. Basically, this is all in and around Bristol.
We will be meeting in Cribbs first then going to Thornbury. Should be good, try not to get lost, crash, blow up cars, write off metros etc...
We will arrive at Thornbury and as its a sunday traffic is minimal etc, they can only do Sunday as they work the rest of the time, and as u can imagine a shit load of modded Corsa's turning up makes quite a damned impact and can stop a mechanic or two from doing any work! After that we cna go form there, do whatever the hell you lot wanna do basically...
The cost is £15 and I need all your names, numbers and vehicles u2u'd to me.
Unfortunately this is a vauxhall only event, as TOTAL VAUXHALL MAGAZINE ARE GOING TO BE THERE!!!!! (YAY!)
Should be good, if ur cars good enough you could well get asked for a feature, and lots of pics of the event will be in the magazine. I really need more names on my u2u, at the moment I only have a few.
Remember, if you've got your own convoy coming, I need their names, numbers and vehicles too.
If we organise it properly it will be shit hot.

Ok, Trotty was kinda in charge of this one btu i guess ill suggest instead. I suggest about 6 o'clock in KFC Car Park.... how's that? By 6 im normally pretty hungry, so that would be ideal
at the end of the day its when everyone is gonna b ready. So lemme know.

Right then folks, apologies for the lack of any replies, I've been really busy at work for the last couple of days 
Now then, the are TWO meets being arranged at the moment. They are as follows:
- Cribbs Causeway - Sunday 10th Nov - General Meet
- Interpro @ Thornbury - Sunday 1st Dec - RR day w/ Total Vauxhall Mag
For the Cribbs Causeway meet, be at KFC/Burger King car park for approx~ 6 0PM-ish. This is by the Warner Village cinema for those that don't know the area. I'll post some (hopefully) decent directions up later on. We can stay there for a bit, get some pics perhaps and then go wherever we like.
For the RR day, I'll leave it to Edd (megacorsa) to arrange meeting times and places but if you want to come (and it should be good!) get you details to him ASAP!
Now then, firstly, who can make Sunday's meet?
Cheers,
Ian
