East northern GWR convoy

Postby brachunky on Sun Apr 13, 2008 3:46 pm

Well boys & girls :D Seeing as the date has been set, all of you interested in joining a "convoy" of fronties from the following area's & surrounds
Derby,Notts,Sheffield,Lincs & Leics , please attach your names to the list!
We can meet at the East Midlands Shopping Village just off junction 28 of the M1 as there is plenty space to gather! Even if you have to drive a bit out of your way to get to the meeting place, it would be great to drive down as one big group! :dance: The time will be confirmed at a later stage.
Cheers
Martin

Mart
i don't want to be a party Popper here but i think i am right in saying that as the law stands the legality of a convoy is .... no more than 3 - 5 vehicles in a convoy or else all vehicles in the convoy could get a section 59 .... and or done with careless driving ....

if i am wrong someone else can correct me ...
I Like this Truck of mine, just like me it's well run in it's not old just older.

Eyup Huggy,I have a feeling that this will all fall into place a bit closer to the time. Im sure their will be a few "meet" points.

Sorry guys. But I'm going to have to pull out of the convoy. Rising price of diesel has forced me to try and sell my frontera.
