Anyone interested in making a convoy to Cosford. Meet at Michaelwood services on the M5 maybe.

If you leave the M5 at J4 I'll join the back as you pass through Stourbridge......<br>
<br>
Bacon butties under the grill if you ring me as you leave the Motorway too?<br>
<br>
9 start for you means arriving Cosford lunchtime surely though? - let her get some sleep the night before instead!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=

Mike Groom & Malc are planning on leaving 'Tesco's on the M42 @ 09:00, nipping down past "The Austin" @ Longbridge and making our way up Stourbridge way. Could be dropping past Chez Nicholas 09:40 ish give or take 5, any good? A bit of local knowledge to lead us up the garden path (sorry, meant the 449 and the 41 )would be just the ticket <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=

<br>
I think i've manage to convince Mrs S to leave a bit earlier so we'll stick with Plan A to leave the services by 8am. Perhaps we will have to up the pace a tad and wear earplugs (I'm not kidding!). <br>
<br>
I'll have to remember the mobile phone headset as you cant hear it ring when driving.<br>
<br>
I'll be very reckognisable at Cosford - look for the couple with blood streaming from their ears!! Sometimes i wish i had carpets!.<br>

Basically leve M5 at J4 and follow the signs to Stourbridge. When you get to Oldswinford (about 10 miles) turn left at the traffic lights (there's a petrol station on RHS) and then go straight on at two roundabouts. My road is then the fourth on the right, you can't miss the house for obvious reasons!
