Southeast & London Japfest Convoy (2018) South Mimms

Hi guys, yeah maybe it’s early as it’s only January, but kinda last minute last year we had a small convoy of 8 vehicles from the Kent and Essex area meet at South Mimms services and we traveled up to Japfest together.

 

As a first timer last year this was amazingly helpful so I wanted to take the lead and organise it again. As we’re starting the discussion earlier maybe we will be better organised this time haha.

 

So, the meeting place is the South Mims Services on the M25/A1(m) Junction.

 

Bignells Corner, Potters Bar, Herts, EN6 3QQ

 

Last year we met in the car park of the BP petrol station on site as it means any lowered vehicles don’t have to contend with the main car parks speed bumps, so let’s meet there again.

 

Meeting time will be 6:20/6:30 ish. Any vehicles meeting at this location will be leaving at 6:40 am due to the early entry requirement for Club Stand cars into Japfest. If you’re late then you’ll have to catch up.

 

This year someone else other than @Paul K will have to lead as we missed the junction last year hahah (joking mate!)

 

Any questions please ask away, but il start the list! (Added my registration so you guys can find me as there’s usually a lot of cars meet at south mims.

If that’s all there is it’s still fine by me. Will have my mate tagging along in his focus ST too. Their Z is broken so won’t be bringing it, but they’re still gonna come up in the ST for a jap filled day! Just hope they can walk through the gates and get early access still otherwise they’ll be sitting in the car for 3 hours waiting for the public gates lol

Do you have a route planned out yet? South mimms is the wrong direction for me to go but I live along the M1 so i might be able to catch you all as you go past if thats your route.

This will pretty much be the route mate :) We wont be able to stop anywhere as timings are pretty tight, is it much out of your way to come to South mimms? If it is, just try to catch us on the way. If its your first Japfest like mine last year) traveling on Convoy is really cool and helped me with the whole "where the hell do I go when I'm at the circuit"  https://www.google.com/maps/dir/South+Mimms,+Potters+Bar/Silverstone+Circuit,+Towcester+NN12+8TN/@51.7235372,-0.5627523,10z/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x48763d7091ac7c11:0x8fc4e3ebb6fc8395!2m2!1d-0.2323459!2d51.6947987!1m5!1m1!1s0x48771c5823926c25:0x1142afb591c324a6!2m2!1d-1.0146634!2d52.0733006

@cs2000 Im right on junction 10 of the M1 so it is a bit of a trek down to south mimms xD. Its probably only 2 or 3 minutes from my house to being actually on the M1 though so I might be able to catch you all as you pass.
