BENZ ON THE GREEN 11TH OF MAY 2024

Even better, it will feel like a holiday!

It’s close to 4 hours on a fairly good run for me, but I’ll go there and back on the same day. Traffic will be light early on a Saturday too.
What time are you leaving on the Saturday?

Leaving home around 0445 I guess. If taking the M1 then I’d probably pass Leicester Forrest East at around 0530 to allow time for a pit-stop along the way and still have a little contingency time.

Convoy?
 
Mercy! Saints! we could have us a Merconvoy...... :eek:
😁

Meet us at Leicester Forrest East in the i3 and you could tuck in tight to slipstream between us for maximum range. You could do that in the Macan, but then EV sceptics couldn’t accuse you of being a typical EV hyper miler 😁

Ah! But it wouldn't be a Merconvoy in a Macan, i3 or the kind of 220 I'm thinking of ..... ;)

Oooooh I had forgotten about that! Will you be coming from home or direct from picking up the car?

I don’t enjoy driving in convoy much - as I have enough difficulty thinking of my myself let alone thinking do others - but I could make an exception!

Driving in convoy with you in the 220 would be a pleasure, I have a soft spot for the Rover 220 tomcat 👀😉😁

Sounds like a plan! Unless things change dramatically I'll meet you at LFE @5:30
And possibly you too Alistair? Unless you break down before the services...... 😇

We could have done matchy matchy on the drive down but Olly is doing some work on another car that day, so I’ll be in the wrong car and and leaving very early! My car will be on the ramp at 0900 😳
I was thinking the same, but then I seen you were planning on taking the pocket rocket.

I’m heading down Friday evening anyway. I may pop over to PCS early doors if @daveenty and @sjmaxwell don’t have me up all night partying.

Last year they were both in bed by 9 when I arrived at the hotel 🤣🤣

I'm not sure you would want something like this in your rear view mirror... :dk:

However, arrangements are underway to remove the vehicle from police custody.....but I think our routes and timing will be too diverse.
 
Please add me to the list

I might drive up from darkest Sussex to Leicester Forest just so I can be that annoying Beemer who tailgates you for miles but doesn't want to overtake.
