Sweet, we need to attack that baby with some paint!

We agreed on Vince the Volvo? ;)

Reckon Ill manage to get home by the 11th of July? Its possible I wont have the same job by then, let alone that training course - but I guess as long as we can pass an airport if the drive home looks like itll take a lot longer...


11th sounds fine tbh

I think Vince the Volvo sounds cool too :D

going to book an MOT at a local garage this week, and fix a bulb too :)

The car only failed on 1 tyre and the washer jets.

The garage say theyll fix and retest it all for £77. (£23.odd for the test and free retset)

I figured itd be better to do it that way as even if I got a part warn tyre thatd be silly

Itd cost close to £100 if I did it the long way around.

I think thats a damn good investment this car!!

Well after a little talking to Eru on mIRC we can get him to come with us...

Sara, Can I firstly ask you to meet us in either Luton or Gatwick? or somewhere on the east side of the contry? that will be easy to you get to? maybe a cheap flight from Bristol to Newcastle? or Bristol to Luton?

Let me know if there is a problem and Ill sort it out...

I start driving, pick Nige up in Sheffield, then Eru up at Luton airport.
Eru, aka Del will be flying back to Luton on the sunday night as for work in the morning.

We pick sara up from somewhere on the east coast.

Euro Tunnel will leave Folkstone at 22:50 on the 6th (thursday).

Rally starts at 9am the following morning...
Day 1: Boulogne to Besancon (Approximately 400 miles)
Day 2: Besancon to Turin (Approximately 250 miles)
Day 3: Turin to Nice (Approximately 300 miles)
We drop Del off at Nice he gets a plane and then I prosoe we find somewhere to camp that night. and get back to England on the monday 9th.

This week I get paid, Im going to book train fair and find out about campsites.

I have a tent that can sleep 2 or 3 at a bit of a push.

We need to decide.
How many tents will I need to book for? Who wants to share, or take their tent, or just sleep in the car, which might be a little cramped.

Which of the team mates agree with all of that?

my tent is there is you need it.... its made for 6 people to sleep in 3 little enclosure bits.... its like a tripod tent, 3 corners, and a zip up but on each corner making them into mini bedrooms.... (made for 2 people in each, 2 will fit just nice)

tho its a ******** to put up :s
