A convoy is only as effective if the Marshal cars are strict and members are disciplined. I started being Zero Car (lead car since March of 2003 and had gone through rigorous training to become Zero Car - and I can tell you why we call it Zero car..as there is a story behind it which many clubs don't know. I started off as Assistant Team Leader C for Pearl of The Orient getaway in April 2002, Hot Car 2 for Sawadee Phuket, December 2002 and Zero Car for Eco Drive - Rompin in March 2003 and with each and every local and cross border getaway, the convoy procedures get more and more refined.
Well, here is the short cut way. Very malas to retype it again so to Malaysia Honda Odyssey Club readers, sorry again to cut and paste from your website but then, the contents are actually from Satria GTi Club.
