Well left home to go to Dover ...never reached but the day turned out ok in the end 2 Subbies ended up on wrecker on the way  1 - engine just stopped - timing belt issues it seems  1 - crashed at the end of Mount Rosser (not an SOCOJ member) passengers ok I hear though as they hopped into another vehicle and went on to Dover after getting the wrecker  Didn't have any vibes for Dover after that so ............  a few of us ended up at the Scorchies and Puerto Seco and then take an easy drive back to Kingston Going to have some strict convoy rules going forward though as a precaution !!  |

Well after we met up on the car accident.....certainly didnt have any Dover vibes either!! Myself another Leggie decided to go to Scotchie's and chill, while the other 3 Subbies decided to continue the journey unto the race meet. Cruised to Scothchies, and got there at about 9:30am of course dem nuh even open yet  But wait.....a certain SOCOJ (thats drives a NA) who was leading the crew to Dover...ended up meeting us by Scotchies......di man dem lasss to r@ss!!! So we sorry fi dem and ended up going to Dover in the end! It was a great day....sun was hott (good thing we had nuff umbrellas)....enjoyed watching the races!! We met up with Spec and drove into kingston nice, easy and incident free - SOCOJ style! Of course we didn't allow Spec to lead the crew....  |

Oh yeah? ..... If yu don't know your way around the corners, on slick road conditions, and not using your own good judgement, its quite possible

Although this wagon was wearing a set of Dunlops....only 3 were in good condition.....one on the rear was I would say 80% worn! Does anyone know this guy? I tried to get a name from them at the scene of the accident, but by the time we got there, they were busy jumping in another vehicle to head to Dover. |

Good to hear that despite the issues all were safe and sound.... Yeah - Mt. Rosser in the early morning is not fun, the early dew on the road makes it very slick. I saw two accidents while going up and at low speed, the back of my car stepped out twice....  I called and warned a couple of peeps... Only saw Spec and Bones at the track; due to my role there - couldn't see much else anyway... Bwoy, B - sorry to hear about the traffic leaving; we just waited until it subsided - problem with that is you reach home later... Let me know how we can arrange delivery of my decal! Peace. |

The back tyres were about 80% worn, the funny thing about this guy is that he said approaching the hill he felt the back step out twice, and he was still squeezing. Happy that all the passengers got out just fine.  |

I'm sorry to hear about the two incidents but I am happy nobody was hurt and that it was a good day. That was a good move. Wife and child was in the car. Besides, the baby's car seat drew significant timing & boost. DRIVE RESPONSIBLY ! IT'S JUST THE SUBBIE WAY ! |

Points of note in my post you quoted: Not an SOCOJ member And the rules were mentioned as a precautionary measure Therefore ....precautionary for me would be that we not rely on the postings on the site but also speak to them and remind on how a convoy operates especially for persons who join the group on the way. The accident did not happen in the convoy .... the convoy was rather disciplined  |

Our Convoys are always disciplined, and our usual convoy leader occasionally lets us have a little fun, so its not that boring when we travel especially with Stigmyster leading.

What you need to do next time we have a roll-out is to participate. You can then decide if your comments are valid. |
