The BKV. Meeting and Driving in Convoy to the BKV - Page 4

ivor940 · Jun 16th, 2006, 20:20

Hi Griz, Hope to see you there. Even though my 940 will not be there ( have to be in work Sat & Mon ), it will be there in spirit. It gets used, has carried an 8ft by 10ft shed on the roofrack, tows 20 ft boats for Scouts, has been attacked by a Primera ( 940 - 1, Primera - 0 ), carries 75 Cu Ft of stuff to landfill ( head lineing still ok), upsets owners of modified Corsas ( 0-60 in 9 sec, bit of blue smoke), and is the best car I have owned.

Shed on the roofrack! Was it completely assembled? Must have looked somewhat like a snail...

I'll post the meeting point later on today, the issue is that people coming from the south and north shouldn't have to drive too far out of their way to meet. The best idea is somewhere quite close to Rutland Water itself. Preston which is on the A6003 south of Rutland Water looks a possibility as there is a pub there - anybody know if there is a pub car park where we could meet?

Hi Joe, It was disassembled and loaded flat onto a Volvo full length rack. It was a wood shed. Performance was not affected much ( shed was dry so not as heavy as a wet shed) , but it rolled a bit on corners. Had to watch out for trucks etc coming other way as it was 8 ft wide.

Found a pub called the Wheatsheaf that apparantly has a car park where we can all meet! The pub is in a village called Edith Weston. Coming from Manton (coming from the west/south direction) which is reached by turning right off the A6003 and driving towards the nature reserve where the BKV is go past the BKV and keep on driving towards Edith Weston (this is on the south of Rutland Water). The pub is on the l/h side. Coming from the north take the A606 from the A1 and then take the south road at the beginning of the lake and drive towards Edith Weston, the pub should be on the r/h side. I don't know the area at all so the directions are from what I can see on the road map. See you all tomorrow beween 8 and 8.30!

Here's a link to details of the pub: http://www.rutnet.co.uk/pp/business/detail.asp?id=5401

08.00 to 08.30 might be a tad early for me, depends on when I wake up, and when the boss wakes up!!

Will display recognition sign in car!
