Default Scottish convoy to Bruntingthorpe

I hope admin don't mind me posting here. Is there anyone heading down from Scotland on the Saturday? Volvo Owners Scotland are leaving from Strathclyde Park on 30th March at 11am. Would be great to team up and head down en mass.

Cheers

Actually just looking at the routes, going A1/M1 is almost exact same distance wise as M6. What do you reckon is the best road? least hold ups?

Do any of you know a Scot who brought a green 240GLT to Bruntingthorpe?

Might also own a 262 Bertone? Called Dave? Might own a lot of other Volvos?

I loved the 240 he brought and would like to make hime an offer...!

Cheers
