It will all need to be carefully time controlled so that's that fecked then :rolleyes:

We'll be coming from the M4 West side, Dodgyrog from the M5 and the main convoy from the East side. I assume we would normally leave at junction 16 whilst the main guys will leave at junction 17.

I reckon it would be :cool: to meet the main convoy so perhaps we should plan to overshoot junction 16 and carry on just past Leigh delamare services then look for a layby and join up with the main guys. Either that or we just trundle in from the Bath junction (16).

The issue with trying to meet with the JCC guys at Magor is that they probably won't be there early enough to enable us meeting with the main convoy.

The best plan here is for everyone to make a big effort in coming to the Toby meet on the 7th April so we can get our heads around it.

Following on from Jap Show last year, the experience of being part of a convoy of 50 plus Supes should not be underestimated for a few extra quids worth of petrol and a quarter of an hours less sleep!

Hi all,

Any updates on this Jon? :)

[vvteye]

Speaking to most of the guys at the last Toby meet most of them are going in a japwales convoy which is likely to meet in Magor and get off at the Bath (j16) so will totally miss the main Supra convoy. As a result I'm definately going on to Junction 17 where the main convoy gets off. That said, I am more than tempted to even go higher up J18/19 to have some motorway convoy fun. I've only been in one big Supra convoy and I must say, it was very exhilerating. What are your plans? :eyebrows:

[dr_blackman]

Sounds good Jon, I don't mind matey, I really enjoyed our convoy at the Jap show final, so perhaps i'll tag along with you again :) Meet early-ish at Raglan again!

[vvteye]

it's a deal matey... We'll work out how early closer to the date. Isn't it about time you trouped down to the Toby next Monday. We could finalise arrangements there.

[dr_blackman]

Next monday is a bank hol isn't it Jon? :) Yeah I will mate, keep saying I will but something always crops up. Picked the car up from the bodyshop on sat from having a bit of a tidy up so now its back i'll have to make this one :)

[rjs]

hi im planning on going to japfest show and was wondering is there a designated area for supras to park,cos last time i went i had to park on a steep grassy bank.traveling from llandrindod wells mid wales if anyone wants to meet up on route.

You need to book tickets and a place on the stand if there is any left. See this thread.http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=136844

I'm thinking of overshooting junction 17 and heading up the motorway to join the big convoy for a stretch of Motorway fun ;) You are welcome to join me :eyebrows:

WELCOME TO THE CLUB BTW

[Dyer864]

I so wish i was able to come to this, GUTTED !! :(

[dr_blackman]

Jon, sorry I was unavailable for the bank hol meet, I did the airport run dropping me folks off to go to Greece for the week!

I'll still join you for the convoy, will have to decide what time to meet at that Raglan layby like last time!

Dave.

[jammox]

I'm going to set off from M4 J34 (Bridgend) at 7am to try and reach CC about 8.15 with the rest, hope to join up with some of you on the way.

[dr_blackman]

What time shall we meet for this Jon? :)

[vvteye]

Ok. Meet in the layby just past the Raglan junction of the Ross/Newport dual carriageway ready to leave at 06.15. Keep an average speed of 75 and we'll be on junction 15 of the Swindon Roundabout which I think is over the M4 at 7.15 so get video camera ready and film the convoy coming under. I estimate they'll be coming through around 7.25. I have Lui's number so will
ring top confirm their wherabouts.

Then jump in the car and catchy catchy :eyebrows:

Everyone welcome to join in the fun :)

[dr_blackman]

Ready to leave at 6.15, i'll be there mate :D

[vvteye]

Excellent.. the quicksilver kids are on the march :eyebrows:
