[mattlake]

what time did we meet last year because i wanna be earlier this year. at this rate d we may as well just meet in gloucester

[disco-tom]

Think we've met at that stonehouse Shell station at 8am before and got there for just gone 9am. Don't know if that's the time we met up last year, as I do remember the stand was awkward to park on when we got there.

Do we know where our stand is this time?

[jon200]

i'm going from dursley with some mates but will meet you lot there. Where is the stand. i should be there for 9 to see the first session. :)

[mattlake]

we met at 8-81.5 last year a la http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=289682&highlight=japfest

and 7 the year before a la http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=212030&page=7&highlight=japfest

[disco-tom]

So what, say 07.30am this year?

What was it like getting there that early in '06?
I remember now that I couldn't make it as my brother decided to get married on that day.

[mattlake]

by the time we left it was probs 7.15-7.30, arrived at around 8, **** all people there, got a prime spot, bored off my tits by 8.30 :wack:

[cHiL]

not going now due mainly to costs:( tickets and track slot sold:( anyone for JAE?:D

[jon200]

i may come up with you lot yet as i wanna get there earlyish and my mates are lazy gits :) Will let you know if i am. You decided on a time yet?

[adey1984]

i really wana come along, but wnt know if im working thill thurs/friday

[mattlake]

7.30?

[Squirt]

I got track erection with my Autograss club which is a twat all weekend and also got no Coilovers.

Arse Arse Arse :annoyed:

[mattlake]

did you type that on a phone?

[Squirt]

Err, no?

Why you say that?

[jon200]

7.30?

:eek: sh1t the bed.

Not too early then :D

[disco-tom]

Err, no?

Why you say that?

i think the word erection got him slightly excited. Either that, or it's the "in" thing to ask if something's been posted from a predictive text phone these days. :p

And aye, 07.30's a little early... Can I suggest 8 instead?

[mattlake]

lack of punctuation meant i had trouble reading it, all is vlear now though ;)

[wattsy26]

so whats the deal then?
8 at the petrol station by the motorway junction for a419?
also are we going to be driving through stoud/ nailsworth and up the a46:)

[mattlake]

right then:

leave 8am from shell petrol / service station just off junction 13 M5 (A419)

will probably go up frocester hill and over the top, bit quicker.

Lets have a final show of hands so we dont leave anyone behind

[disco-tom]

Aye. :wave:

[Si]

Us midlands motley crew may be coming past you guys if you fancy joining up?

[disco-tom]

If you know where the garage is and fancy joining us there at 8am, then that'd be cool as. As Matt says, we'll go up over the hill and down the back roads to get there (as he knows the way), we could have a big ol' convoy going on. As long as MattyG goes in front of me.. (sorry, Matty :wack:)
