Had me worried you were going to faceplant the cliff, and that was only from watching in my rear view mirror

Well it certainly got my adrenaline pumping

[scotty]

Mr E give him a kick up the back side and get him on the list

[alfa male]

Scotty- Hopefully extending the house this year, planning permission has just been submitted. Plus already doing alot this year.

Granby- Takes alot more than that to get my fritter going! I've had nearly 37 years being in the passenger seat with the old man driving!! Plus I knew you had it under control

As for Ron and Stiggy drinking....Pah....mere novices. Lol. (check this out, I've not had a beer or a ciggie in 23 days!!!)

I've not had one for the last 23minutes but aiming on correcting that very soon

Won't be too much of the wet stuff this year as will be driving

[thepieman]

Just looking at getting a few bits for the ring trip........

Going to get myself a breath analyser as apparantly you need one for the French bit, although I believe there is no fine for not carrying one but just in case i'm getting one..........

Can't be arsed with throw away ones so getting one that will last for future trips if needed..... Getting myself this one


Its only £2

Anyone else want one whilst i'm ordering? Will bring them with me and give them out at the stop prior to the train (or on the train) and can swap for a nice shiney two pound coin

Please see THIS THREAD for breathalyzer list

[Granby]

Think I read somewhere that's it's no longer a requirement to carry one in France, could be bs lol, if it is put me on the list pls

Important documents:
Vehicles from the UK may be imported into France for up to 6 months in any period of 12 months. When driving in France the following documents should be carried:

Full, valid driving licence*
Proof of Insurance (third party or above)
Proof of ID (Passport)
Proof of ownership (V5C Certificate)
*International Driving Permits are recognised but not compulsory

While driving in France you are required by law to carry the following items. Hefty on-the-spot fines can be issued for failing to carry specific items:

Reflective jackets (must be kept inside the vehicle, within reach)
Warning triangle (compulsory in every vehicle with 4 wheels or more)
Headlamp beam deflectors (Depending on your car, you will either need deflector stickers or have to adjust the beam manually)
Breathalysers/alcohol test (As of January 2013 the French government announced that the introduction of an €11 fine has been postponed indefinitely)
Motorcyclists (Safety helmets are compulsory for drivers and passengers of mopeds and motorcycles. Helmets must have reflective elements as per paragraph 6.16 of ECE regulation 22-04.)

From searching around, you must carry one in France but there is no longer a fine for not doing so!! not sure how it works but for the sake of £2 i'm not going to be the one to find out

[The Handbrake]

You don't need to take breathalysers now but my own opinion Is that for sure some old French policeman will forget or just be awkward and for the sake of a couple of pounds it stops any long delay. Plus with all that German beer maybe it's worthwhile having a check before you drive if you have a heavy night.

Greg will be in Germany at the same time as us and will meet up with us on Saturday night with hopefully Dave and Wanda?

Daves wants to help out so we will be there as much as possible throughout the whole trip

[Steve_PPP]

Does it give you a reading of how many mg of alcohol in your breath, or just a simple 'don't even think about driving you feckwit' answer? As Si says, could be fun after a few drinks

[555_Si]

If you wish to that is fine and easier.

I believe if my memory serves me correctly, the last time we stayed at Jackies some people paid direct, those that did pay deposits got there money back at the hotel prior to paying their final bill.

[Rdlangy1]

At current exchange rate - it works out to £280.88p for the comfort room by my calculations (somebody please confirm) which is £6 cheaper than week ago

Time to pay up me thinks!

[NL03Scooby]

What were the prices for the rooms? Will pay to the SES Paypal account

Comfort rooms = 372 euros Per room (4 nights)

Standard rooms = 332 euros Per room (4 nights)

Single room = 220 euros Per room (4 nights)

Thanks 'E', was meant to be 'pay the deposit to the SES Paypal account' but guess there is no need if paying the hotel the full amount direct...

Now we are cooking, spot on thanks Ian!

[Rdlangy1]

[BIG"E"]

I have just booked up with EuroTunnel the details are:

Thank you for booking with Eurotunnel Le Shuttle. Please read and make note of your travel details below.
You will not receive a booking confirmation via the post.
Booking

£59

Vehicle details
High car (over 1.85m)
Registration number: Scooby Wr1

Travel cost You paid by | Card number: ***********
£118


I have booked it this early because you often find the price increases closer to departure.

Please Note
The departure times and that I am booked in, the over 1.85m category, the reason for this is, because of low ride height.
Which means I will be on the lower deck not having to go up the step entry slope on the train.
If we all do this hopefully we will all be on the same part of the train which makes life easier when trying to regroup on arrival in France

[Rdlangy1]

Train booked

Whoooop whoooop

[Seanedg]

Looking forward to this trip can't wait.......

I will be traveling back earlier on Tuesday (2pm train back to UK), it's my sons 10 birthday and we are going out that evening.

[Red Baron]

Don't worry too much if you can't get in the high carriage, unless you're running coil overs on their lowest setting or a ground scraping splitter you'll be fine on the ramp to the upper deck, my old Passat used to beach on speed humps and that made it to the upper deck fine.

I'm the same, I left my booking late last year by mistake and then couldn't get in the high vehicles, so ended up on the top deck. Didn't scrape at all and i'm on coilovers (although my front splitter isn't as low as the HT Autos style ones).

More important that we're on the same train (the trains are half double decker, half tall vehicles) so we can easily regroup on the other side.

[Rdlangy1]

We may need safety in numbers to make sure nobody picks up any unwanted passengers on the way back! ha ha

[BIG"E"]

The idea of the lower deck serves two purposes.

1 for lower cars to get on and

2 . Hopefully we get on together and people don't get lost within a mile of getting of the train...

A certain someone knows who he is..

It is also wise to fill your tank before you get on the train...

[scotty]

Think it will be another cheap ticket again this year lol .

lol

My rookie mistake was going into that petrol station just outside the Eurostar terminal to wait for you guys, how was I to know that it exited onto a different road completely Still, caught up quickly enough, that's when the walkie talkies come in use!

[Rdlangy1]

I'll be staying in close proximity to everyone! Ha ha

[scotty]

I tried that ended being at the back of convoy a few times

[Rdlangy1]

Sure I will to as I'm not the quickest but I'll do my best to keep up - thank goodness for sat nav

[NL03Scooby]

Train booked, Outbound price was up to £61!

[Seanedg]

I just see that? I better hurry up and book the train....

[thepieman]

Does anyone know, Can you fill the passenger details seperatly or do you have to fill both in at the same time? I can do mine ok but Doug's just renewing his passport so details not available yet?

According to the email you can fill them in at any point before the booking as the confirmation email has a password which allows you to log on and fill in the API details

[555_Si]

[scotty]
