UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

As everyone knows the midnight cruise has been very long awaited, too many people begging me to get it going lol. Anyway, its here now and organisation is underway. The last cruise was a major success with about 80 cars in attendance. Not many people understood what a 'convoy' is and started racing to the finish last time so hopefully it doesn't happen again.

The cruise will take place bank holiday Sunday night but technically the date falls on the Monday! Hopefully most of us will be free and not working on the Monday so you should have time to recuperate! Furthermore the streets of London should be very quiet. The event should take about 3hrs of our time so the trip to make the convoy would be worth your while.

Anyway, the convoy will start off at Ace Cafe and then lead into the city passing famous landmarks along the way. We aim to stop off at check points to let straddlers catch up. Please remember that this is a convoy where we all drive through trying to stay together instead of speeding around thinking its a race to the finish! If we did that we'd only attract attention to ourselves or even worse accidents could happen.

We're still looking for people who know the city well and can make a few test runs before the night to act as marshalls. Marshalls will drive amongst every 5-10 cars so everyone behind can follow incase the convoy seperates. So if you can be of assistance and sure you'll be free for the convoy then get in touch with 'vwdevient'- Jon. As I learnt from previous experience, its no point giving everyone the final destination in order to stop all the racing around. So no one apart from the organisers will know of this and the marshalls will be given certain details on the night.

so here's the details and a few points to consider;

START ADDRESS:
Ace Cafe London
Ace Corner
North Circular Road
Stonebridge
London
NW10 7UD

DATE: 24th Sunday night. (Technically 25th August Bank Holiday Monday)
TIME: 11pm (convoy starts after midnight)

• If you wanna bun etc then do so away from Ace cafe's premises before the convoy starts.
• Get there on time, fuelled and ready to leave.
• Do not race around acting like a wrist exerciser, its a convoy not the gumball rally!

If i've forgot to include anything then there will be edittions made later on so check this post before the event.

Keep your diaries empty all, regards.

No one interested?

This convoy always gets in excess of 100 cars making the journey so you'd be daft to miss this. I know there's plenty of Essex dubbers on here, where are you?

We also need volunteers for marshalling the event so if anyone can do then get in touch.

im interested

Although its direct, its not the quickest route but you guys can join us at Gallions for a convoy to Ace. I'll get the Eastern Dubs to roll out at 10.30. Josh knows where it is (SEC site in Beckton) so he can inform you guys if its worth the diversion.

Right for all those in the dartford/kent area.

Me and some mates will be in the orange carpark second level from 9pm

are you going to meet up at gallions reach??

Alright guys, hope everyone had a laugh and enjoyed themselves making it home safely too.

had about 90-100 cars at Ace which were blocking the road up which is bound to attract attention from the plod so we told everyone to go wembley stadium.

We also had to change the route cos we realised we couldn't get that many cars through London so told everyone at each point where to go. Unfortunetly, some didn't listen and used satnav when a specific routes already been panned out or didn't know London and had no satnav!

Didn't get to speak to anyone from here although a few cars looked familiar, which I couldn't out to usernames etc!

How did everyone find it?

Didnt know the area so headed home, was about 15min from blackwool tunnel and i lost power, i think my petrol pump or injecters are blocked...

No petrol getting to the engine

loved it!.... will be at the next one for sure!.... just a shame how lost every1 got!
