Just a few thoughts on the M25/ M23 route from the West.

I frequently operate a kids taxi service to Gatwick Airport from north of the M25 Leatherhead junction.

I have no on board traffic updates except for local radio stations.
Before leaving I always check.
Welcome to Traffic England
Select tthe M25 etc and click on " Roadside message signs" to get an idea of any " activity"

Traffic England - Motorway Traffic Flow
This will give current average speeds between junctions.

Other folks may have other systems to speed their route .

Usually I avoid the motorway so that I have an instant alternative route in case of traffic snarl ups.
I trek south and pick up the old A25 at Dorking and then east to Reigate.
Right at Reigate, south towards Gatwick on the A217
At Gatwick join the A23 to Pease Pottage.

It would appear that this route delivers you to the service centre.

This route to Gatwick is very simple and a pleasant drive. It has never caused me any traffic problems so I have never had to take to the lanes.

OK we have hit the magic 60 vehicles! I am in and out of meetings at work over the next few days so I'm going to try to list all the info you need in this post..

The days itinerary is listed below for your info, so you know when you need to be where for this event...
The parking is pay and display at this location and is £1 for an hour, £2 for two hours, £4 for four hours, or £7 for 11 hours (I would suggest for most people the £4 parking option will be sufficient). Your meal will be £5.00 per person.. so hopefully no shocks or surprises if you are on a budget

Possibly the best area to park at Pease Pottage Services is to the left as you go in, as from memory the HGVs park to the right.

At Pease Pottage Services the Welcome Packs will be distributed one per car and on a first come, first served basis as I didn't anticipate quite as much interest as we have had in this meet - I *will* do better for the next meet in May :-)

Additionally at Pease Pottage we will need to do a very quick photo shoot with the Welcome Packs for our sponsors.

The cruise to Brighton is set at 65mph to ensure all our vehicles make it without any problems considering that we have vehicles from 1968 right through to 2014.

We need to park up on Madiera Drive in one block if at all possible somewhere between The Jag Art Gallery and the Madeira Cafe.

The Madiera cafe may well struggle with our numbers on the day so I may have to negotiate the same breakfast deal with another cafe next door and spread the load.

Tony will be there to answer any Jaguar sales related questions, and will hopefully have two showroom cars for us to have a look at and Kevin will be there from the Automatic Gearbox Centre to answer any transmission queries..

We will all be signing the meet banner and having group shots taken for the forums at 11:30..

 

Almost forgot - on the day you will need to track me down for the Welcome Packs etc .. My car is a dark blue X-Type 2.5 RN02CVS, and my phone number should you need to get hold of me on the day is 07914 116375. I will also be trying to monitor emails etc as I go.. JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk or stephen.sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk

 

If you are still undecided whether to come, or have already signed up by posting on here or emailing me at JaguarForumsUK@solidlinux.co.uk here are the very latest stats on our favourite bi-annual event.. JUST 5 DAYS TO GO!

We have Welcome Packs for the first time.. with many thanks to our new event sponsors!

We have Harwoods Jaguar Brighton in attendance with hopefully either two showroom F-Type Coupes, or one showroom F-Type and a showroom XK Dynamic to look over

We have Tony from Harwoods Jaguar Brighton and Kevin from The Automatic Gearbox Centre to answer any sales, or transmission enquiries you have.

We have 54 cars signed up so far for the Pease Pottage to Brighton Convoy to make a huge entrance in Brighton at the start of the main meet.

We have 60 cars signed up for the main meet itself so far!

We have booked the Madeira Cafe for £5 fixed price breakfast & tea/coffee.

The parking is just £1 an hour on Madeira Drive for this meet.

You get to see Jaguars right from a 1968 Mk2 through to the very latest 2014 models

You also get to see TVR Tuscans, a Noble, BMW, possibly a Lamborghini Gallardo, a Morgan 3 wheeler, a Mclaren MP4 and more...

Gary, owner of The Jag Gallery has kindly suggested photo shoots with his gallery as a backdrop for anyone who would like that...

And finally and most importantly you get to meet the people you meet on the forums in real life, to see their cars, talk and get to know everyone better! It is a great social event easing the Christmas rush for us and giving us a break as only a JaguarForums.com 'Convoy and Meet' can!

If you look further up the thread you will find the itinerary and loads of info on the event.. so go on, even if you are unsure I am sure your car would love the event.. why not pop a post on this thread or just email me and put your name forward?

Additionally, as promised, I am working on the next Bi-Annual Convoy and Meet, and am currently starting to take bookings here: UK South East Meet Spring/Summer 2015 in Brighton so if you can't make this one don't worry you can now put your name forward for the next one and still guarantee yourself a good Jaguar day out:-) Equally if you attend our bi-annual meets regularly you may want to get signed up now for the next one :-)

 

Please note we look after our own, so if your car becomes unavailable, or you have a breakdown, spare seats are available if needed with (contact the member directly pls):

PaulCarr (JF.com) Essex

Simply Superb!

should be a great day......

Kudos to you Steve

 

As the title says. Looks like I'll be heading to the west country on a family visit this weekend so will not be able to join you all. I'm really annoyed as I've been looking forward to seeing all the cars, and the people.

I'll just have to make sure I come to the next one. Have a great day.

 

Count me in! I'll be coming round the M25 so will join the run down the A23.

 

Hi Jokaboat- you will be missed :-( Don't forget the thread for the next meet is already active - Put yourself down for it! It's going to be a Jaguar exclusive event and I am already working on things :-)

Hi Ricko61 - I will get you added in now :-)

Hope this doesn't spread

BBC News - Black Country car cruising banned by High Court judge

 

If it does I am sunk :-) But to be honest it is a local issue with idiots doing what they shouldn't :-(

In comparison the A23 is used for a number of runs and meets not least the RAC London to Brighton Run, all of which go smoothly and bring tourism into Brighton, plus we are Jaguar owners after all - a different class lol

So we should be OK.. and even if it did cut in down here we could just book an off-road location for the meets :-)

I've got it all covered :-)
