baser999 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Has anyone given any thought to Kent Scoobies getting involved with this or are we simply going to leave it until the last minute and join in from Clacketts?
granby Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 As yet there seems to be no exact information regarding meeting points and times
luke_clifton Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Ah I totally forgot about this event, I hope the car will be back on the road before this. Will be a close one.
ROAR Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 we are waiting with bated breath to hear what is going on!
eureka Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Has anyone given any thought to Kent Scoobies getting involved with this or are we simply going to leave it until the last minute and join in from Clacketts? as far as i can tell we will not be joining in at clacketts as is going the other way around m25 from m1 to m40 but will defo be going

granby Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Of course Kent Scoobies will be going to this, why shouldn't we!!!, nothing can be arranged yet as we don't have any firm times of the meeting points but as soon as we do we can start arranging it
loonybin Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) from squiggle Hi there Thanks first of all for your clubs support so far At the outset of this grand plan to celebrate Colins association with Subaru it was the intention of this convoy to replicate the success of the RBRelay from John O'Groats to Lands End, which raised 17k for the RB Foundation. At the begining we had no idea how well Prodrive would respond and never in a million years did we think Prodrive's response would have been on the scale that it has. The original plan for the weekend had the main convoy driving from Lanark to Banbury via the M74, M6, M60, M62, M1, M25 and M40. This original route would have taken up the full Saturday, leaqving Lanark at 10am the convoy was estimated to arrive at Banbury at 8pm. This would have left the full Sunday to accomadate a mass meeting of Subaru owners at the Banbury facilty. In the light of Prodrives response we have amended the route to allow the convoy to get to Banbury for about 4pm and have the main tribute convoy travel between the 2 Prodrive sites on the Sunday. The revised route from Lanark to Prodrive on Sat the 30th of Aug is A70, M74, M6, M5 and M40. I humbly apologise to drivers, clubs and groups that were planning the weekend around the intial route. Hopefully the route change will not stop anyone from attending what is sure to be a fantastic tribute to a true Subaru legend Provisional format for the weekend ......................................... Saturday morning at 10am the cars will leave Lanark Market. M74 - M6 Refuel stop at Charnock Richards on the M6 M6 - M5 - M40 Final destination is Prodrive at Banbury, hopefully arriving at about 4pm ............................................................. Sunday morning, cars from all over Europe will converge on the Banbury facilty for 10am (Marshalls to be on site at 9am) Prodrive will open the SWRT workshops, open the Heritage centre, fire up some of Colins cars and have a BBQ on the go with the obligatory Bacon Butties. The main group will leave Banbury at 12 noon, hopefully led by N1WRC (this is subject to the car being taxed and MOT'ed), and join the M40 at Jct 11 westbound heading for Jct 15. Hopefully we can get the convoy from Point A to Point B in about an hour From 1pm until 5pm the group will be located at Prodrives Warwick test facility Only cars bearing the official sticker will be allowed access to the Test Facilty. A checkpoint will be setup both at the gates of the Warwick facility and where the convoy leaves the A4177 about 2 miles from the gates of the test facilty Prodrive are looking into to arranging some driver demo's and hopefully will be offering Pax rides with Prodrive test drivers on varying disciplines like the skid pan and the adverse handling track. Due to Insurance restrictions only Prodrive employees will be able to take Prodrive cars out on track. All the attendee's at Warwick are to be parked on the main runway of the airfield. Stickers will be made available for sale in the next 7 days ................................................................................ .................

mikkers Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 You can register here and hopefully you will be updated via email. Best to sort out accommodation sooner rather than later!
baser999 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 Now that the overall plans seem to be coming together could I propose this thread be moved to the Important topic section?
