Maybe... :)

A14 is much more sensible than M25, M1 etc... :)

Providing my car is back on the road by Friday, I would like to meet up with you lot, also I have a friend coming in a Jap Supra who would probably join in.
Can someone give me a quick call to give me the details on 07932 949070.

Cheers.

Lewis:thumbs: :annoyed:

right , matt, that sounds like a good idea. do u know what time there gonna be there.. i reckon it's 45 mins to a hour to huntingdon. at a stedy 70:nod:

lewis the balkerne gate is in colchester, take the turn off for clacton, then the first slip after that for colchester. u'll c a big roundabout with some car gargaes on it . head for the car garages and u cant miss the balkerne gate.

everyone still ok for a 7.30 depart from the pub.

why the hell are you going all the way to huntingdon??????

that's about 25 miles out of the way!!!!!

you go right past my house on the A1 near Sandy an'd I and some cambridge mob are going through bedford and up the A6, much quicker and more direct

jim potter

10-10-2003, 08:20

er, didnt relise we were going out of the way!!!!

i always go a12, a14, the turn left onto the a14 at huntingdon go up that road and take a left hand turn somewhere along the way. only ever take me about 1 and a half hours.

didnt think that was to bad

trust me i'm local. much quicker to come off the A1 at black cat r/bout and follow the A428 into Bedford, then go up the A6. Took me about 20 minutes last night to get to rushden, was pushing it a bit:D :eek:

Oh and Autoroute reckons the quickest way from our neck of the woods is round the M25, up the M1 to exit 14 - or is it leading me up the garden path? :confused:

Autoroute is full of sh1t. I use ot for maps for work and take whatever it says with a pinch of salt.
