cs2000 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hi all, For the this year running, im trying to organise whats usually a small-ish convoy of vehicles from London and the south east generally to travel to Japfest together, this really helped me during my first show as i was nervous about where to go and the exact steps to get in. Both years so far we have had around 8 vehicles from the Kent and Essex area meet at South Mimms services and we travelled up to Japfest together. As a first timer last year this was amazingly helpful so I wanted to take the lead and organise it again. So, the meeting place is the South Mimms Services on the M25/A1(m) Junction. Bignells Corner, Potters Bar, Herts, EN6 3QQ The meeting place is the car park of the BP petrol station on site (NOT the main South Mimms parking area) as it means any lowered vehicles don’t have to contend with the main car parks speed bumps, so let’s meet there again. Feel free to arrive at any time you want as long as its before 6:40am. Any vehicles meeting at this location will be leaving at 6:40 am due to the early entry requirement for Club Stand cars into Japfest. (we need to be in before 8AM) If you’re late then you’ll have to catch up. Any questions please ask , but il start the list! (Added my registration so you guys can find me as there’s usually a lot of cars meet at south mims) 1. Cs2000 (OO04 MYZ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2000 Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Biggest turn out for this little convoy yet! Weathers looking good too for us thankfully! Me and my copilot should be on site by something like 6:15-20 and we will be rolling out by 6:40 The guys at the BP station have never given us any trouble for meeting in there as nobody else meets there, at lest they haven't in the last 3 years we have met there, we don't clog up their site as we usually meet on the left hand side as you drive in, the parking bays there are usually empty at that time of the morning. Worth checking on this forum post if you struggle to find us, il be checking in, trying to find anyone that gets lost, or if we have to change locations on site. Just as a reminder for anyone that hasn't been on this route/to Japfest before. For large sections of the M25 and M1, there are speed cameras on the side, or above the motorway gantry's, so, i mean, drive how you want, but just be aware they're there. Whoever ends up leading (i did for large chunks of last year) needs to remember that too (my sat-nav tells me the locations so if i happen to doing 71mph, its "safe" to do so). Also, once we turn off of the M1, you'll know, it looks like you're turning into a services, just cool it WAY down. There will be a police speed gun in almost every single lay-by in the last few miles to Japfest, there has been every single year Sorry if i sound like your mum i just dont want anyone's day to be ruined by points and a fine!

Paul K Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 lets hope the lead car doesn't take us off the wrong way, like a few years ago (Zed with a big wing if i recall) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2000 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Yes, that did happen, cant remember who it was now! We missed the turning off of the M1 so had to double back. Funny thing was, every car in the convoy followed him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I thought you had to be in by 9 not 8 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 From previous years, i think it was 8:30 or something, either way, the earlier we get there, the less traffic you sit in, hence why we leave south mimms at 6:40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelda Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm planning to get there for the 6:40 departure but if I miss it I'll catch you guys up. Sure you'll be easy to spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
