What time is best to arrive at the CVR4 display stand on Sunday morning to avoid the rush/crush. I am travelling down Sat afternoon/evening. Anybody else travelling down from Lancs at this time?

Lomy, we are trying to arrange a meet outside of JAE so we can go into there in convoy - watch out on here

Excellent, should turn some heads that.

I should imagine we should get there very early, we met last time at about 08:30 and moved on soon after when everyone arrived.
Reading some of the posts on the J.A.E forum it appears that the Supra club whatever their name may be is expecting 95 yes 95 Supras, hopefully they will all be there on the Saturday and settled... :) see this thread: here (http://www.japcarclub.com/jae/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=110&)

But a meet beforehand is far easier than all of us turning up here and there and getting confused where to be etc.. plus we can have the advantage of cruising in again together.

Still need to find a place to meet.. would anyone agree to a supermarket meet again like last time? we could get all the cars lined up again and take some PICTURES! last time we did, it was only Barry and I who posted them.. ;)

All down to where it is mate - I am staying at a hotel not far from JAE itself so seems pointless driving out of town and running the risk of getting lost only to come back in again.

I am happy to meet again as it will be good to go in as a mini convoy again. Maybe we can hunt around for places near JAE - going out in a bit but will look later.

Okay I don't blame you.

Billing Aquadrome
Crow Lane, Great Billing
Northhampton NN3 9DA

How about:

2.8 Miles Superstore
NORTHAMPTON
KETTERING RD
NORTHAMPTON
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
NN3 6AA
01604 645726

Or

3.9 Miles Supermarket
NORTHAMPTON
50 HARBOROUGH ROAD
NORTHAMPTON
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
NN2 7AZ
01604 721089

I'd guess the Supermarket would be bigger.
Any ideas? any other supermarkets?

The superstore car park meet seems like a good idea. We are staying in a hotel INSERT INTO post VALUES (Sat night) in Milton Keynes so the plan is to hit the M1 in the morning and head in to Billing. I will take a map of course INSERT INTO post VALUES (no sat nav :Cry1: ) but we are bound to get lost at some point trying to find the meeting point so perhaps we could have a mobile number to call in case of dire need ?

Nearest superstore to JAE I can find is a Tesco's INSERT INTO post VALUES (12 Weston Favell Cent, Northampton NN3 8JZ) :

Spirit

And the directions from this to JAE are:


1. Start at NN3 8JZ INSERT INTO post VALUES (UK).
2. After 394 yards take the 1st Exit off the roundabout into A4500 INSERT INTO post VALUES (Wellingborough Road).
3. After 1.1 miles take the 3rd Exit off the roundabout into A5076 INSERT INTO post VALUES (Great Billing Way).
4. After 0.7 miles take the 2nd Exit off the roundabout onto Crow Lane.
5. You have arrived your destination "NN3 9DA INSERT INTO post VALUES (UK)".

Total distance: 2.4 miles INSERT INTO post VALUES (3.8 km)
Total estimated time: 4 min

RIVERSIDE RETAIL PARK IS ONE JUNCTION UP FROM BILLING AQUADROME ON THE DUAL CARRAIGEWAY. YOU CAN EASILY FIND IT AS THERE IS A MACDONALDS AND A PIZZAHUT CLEARLY VISIBLE FROM THE DUALL CARRAIGEWAY AND IT IS CLEARLY LABELLED.

THERE IS ALSO VARIOUS 'OUT OF TOWN' CAR DEALERS HERE INCLUDING LANDROVER, VW, AUDI, TOYOTA & PEUGEOT. THIS WOULD BE THE MOST CONVENIENT PLACE TO MEET.

Spirit, 2.4 miles compared to my 2.8 miles.. you taking the pi$$ :D
It doesn't matter to me either way INSERT INTO post VALUES (I'll get lost irrespective :D )

Welcome to the site peterernest, just in time too! it's always handy to have someone tell you the best location for these kind of things. :thumb:

I'll second peterernest's location, it will be far easier to find like he said.

Wasn't taking the p*ss as you say - just you didn't name the superstores so I had a nosey around and Tesco's was the closest and fairly easy to get to and from there to JAE.

I saw the estate peternest is talking about when I searched for McDonalds and it is easy to find so I will post here in a bit - I am happy to go with this aswell.

So are we gonna go with McDonalds then, and if so what time etc ?

Pete

Brind
23-07-2003, 11:38 PM
Oh yeah.. sorry I didn't respond to your PM, I recieved it late last night and I was too tired to reply. :)

Yep I'm all for McDonalds too.
I'd say meet around 8:30am? it's gonna be a long drive for me, and I'll have to leave before 6 to get there at that time.

Anyone else?

Brind

Me too, it has been very nice down here at least the last few days, a bit gloomy today but that is ONLY because I washed the car today.:rolleyes: :D should be nice on Sunday, it can't be any worse than the weather at Japfest.

I should be there.. but if I do hit traffic I'll meet you all later at the Aquadrome, I'm leaving at half 5 so it should be clear.. it's about a 2 and half hour drive on a good day.

See you all there - Paul you have my mobile if you wanna give me a buzz Saturday evening to see about doing a scout around and maybe popping down for the fireworks, and of course anyone else. Barry will also add it to the email he is sending you all about JAE.
