downimpact Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 There should be at least another 3 from the jap wales meeting us, scooby, GTO3000 and 350z all at toby carvery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Any more for any more on this convoy? Any ideas of what time you guys will be meeting at Toby Carvery? Then I can work out what time LUD needs to meet me in chepstow so we can get to Magor to meet you guys. Or.......... If you guys would be willing to go an extra 1.8 miles, and take the M48 towards chepstow, the myself and LUD could meet you at Severn Bridge services instead, saving us a 18 odd mile drive to magor and back to the bridge (its around 9/10 miles each way) What would be the thoughts on this?

downimpact Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) To update the list with confirmed 1. Listy35 - Magor Services 2. Downimpact - Toby Carvery 3. Lewysdanny - Toby Carvery 4. LUD - Magor Services 5. k9l3 - Toby Carvery 6. k9l3's dad - Toby Carvery I'll see if we can link up with japcarscymru as well. Yeah we can go the old bridge way give us a chance to blast down the M48. Times need to work out nearer the date as thinking about joining up with south west convoy or other club maybe.

downimpact Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 notice your selling R33 parts are you breaking the car? as I'm after the std gear knob and rear bumper depending whether it's maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Its just random bits and bobs that have come off a couple of r33 gtst's that i helped mod a while back. Stock intercoolers, stock steering wheel, few other bits and bobs. Not 100% sure what ive got tbh. No bumper or gear knob though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Working backwards it's 40 mins from the m48 services to coombe and 20 from j30 to those services. So my initial proposal is: meet at 6:35 at the m4 j30 services, leave at 6:50 sharp. meet at 7:15 at the m48 j1 services, leave at 7:30 sharp. how's that?

listy Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 M48 j1 is severn view services yeah? By the white bridge? Sounds good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 right by the old severn bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Jon, can you pm me your number in case theres any problems on the day, then I can contact you. I've got the two others my end meeting me at Chepstow Tesco at 0700, so should be easily at the services for 0715. So far, its just us 3 this end. Hopefully we can get away a little before 0730, and possibly catch the South West convoy on the m4. I've PM'd Noz because I lost his number, and can hopefully merge on route. Think they are meeting with the Mega Convoy though, so we would have to split off again, as like you, i dont fancy getting caught in the queues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Oh, and just to confirm, the services just after you cross the bridge to the bristol side, where the BP and Travelodge is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 yeah it says severn view services or something on google maps. the services are first left off the roundabout from the m4 and the you bear left up a slope to the services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thats the badger I had in mind. Just wanted to confirm as Lewysdanny said to Amyljames something about Aust, which is a semi-services this side of the bridge. Just making sure we are on the same page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Jon, we're going to have to change the plan for the convoy. The M48 bridge is closed on Saturday, so we will have to go back to the original plan of meeting at Magor Services instead. Im thinking meet at 0700 at Magor Services and leave no later than 0710. Saying that, will you guys get from Cardiff Gate to Magor in less than 20 minutes (do you have any NA's with you ) It takes 50 minutes from Magor to Castle Combe according to google maps. So leaving there at 0710 will obviously get us there for 0800 as we planned before. Cardiff Gate - 0635 -- leave 0650 Arrive Magor Services - 0700-0710 -- leave 0715 Arrive JapFest - 0800 How does that sound? For those meeting me at Chepstow Tesco, we will have to meet there at 0640 -- leave 0645 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 bummer was looking forward to a blast down the m48. That's fine though we can easily get to magor in 20 mins, nothing less than 300 ponies with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
