[Scoobywrc]

Add me to the list for 11a please Dave


list updated for you:smile:

[Somerset Scooby]

Dave, how come you're going all the way down to Reading? Why not the cross country route?

[dj wagon wrx]

11a is gloucester on the M5
not M4
going to go cross country from here (it make's sense for me i live 5 min away)
THE CUT OFF FOR ORDERING THE STICKER HAS PASSED BUT CAN PAY ON THE DAY DOUBLE PRICE
i think you will still have to sign up on the website

[Somerset Scooby]

Sorry I read that wrong, thought it was M4 :redface:

I expect some of us to start from Tormartin and go up the A46.

[dj wagon wrx]

if you are coming up the A46 you will come to brockworth which is where 11a is
then going up 417 to air balloon roundabout and off from there
if want to meet up would be good to do it there
that's the roundabout where the 46 and 417 join
if want my mob number pm me and i will send it
so a convoy would be easier to sort

[Somerset Scooby]

We won't be going that far up the A46. We'll be going A433 Tetbury, Cirencester, I talk to Designerman hes navigating :wink:

[dj wagon wrx]

will post a map of route taking could meet somewhere else if needs be
should post it tomorrow

[dj wagon wrx]

this is the route for the Mcrae gathering from glos
if the BB boys want to meet up you can see points where we can meet up
i think if you are going the route i think then by bourton on the water (A429)

McRae convoy to stretch 20 miles from SWRT
22 August 2008


The McRae Gathering coincides with Rally New Zealand, but Solberg and Atkinson are fans
Nearly 1300 Subarus will gather in the UK to celebrate the life of Colin McRae and create a convoy which will stretch nearly 20 miles.

Fans up and down the country will be able to watch the convoy as it travels more than 300 miles from Lanark, Scotland to the home of the Subaru World Rally Team in Banbury on Saturday 30 August.

The convoy of Subarus departs the McRae's hometown of Lanark at 1000hrs, led by Jimmy McRae in one of Colin’s original cars, before travelling south. By the time it reaches Birmingham, it will have grown to more than 700 cars and stretch for more than ten miles. Watching from a single point, it will take ten minutes for the memorable note of the flat four boxer engines to pass by.

On Sunday 31 August, 1300 cars will gather at the Subaru World Rally Team’s base from 1000hrs before assembling behind Colin’s 1996 Impreza 555 rally car for a second convoy heading north, this time 20 miles long. On arrival at Prodrive’s test track in Warwickshire, they aim to break two official Guinness World Records. Firstly, the cars will write out ‘COLIN MCRAE’ in a sign nearly half a mile long and visible to passengers landing at Birmingham airport, and then form a parade of 1300 Subarus.

While entry to the McRae Gathering is now closed, organisers are hoping fans will show their support along the route. “It would be great to see people cheering us along” said Grant Hendry, one of the organisers of the McRae Gathering. “When the idea of the convoy to commemorate the life of Colin was born, we never dreamt 1300 Subarus would be taking part. We even have Subarus joining us from all over Europe, from Poland and the Ukraine to France and Spain, while some fans are flying in especially from Australia and Argentina to be part of this memorable occasion.”

The McRae Gathering has already raised more than £25,000 for the McRae family’s officially nominated charities and is hoping to raise more money along the route.
