Sorry to join this late... is this the rally from the 6-8th of July?

If so then Im definitely up for stepping in if Nige cant make it.  I dont need a huge amount of notice so Nige can wait till last minute to let me know if he can go or not or Im happy to sign up straight away if you know already.  Wasnt planning on doing aything else that weekend anyway so Im all yours lol.

Mr Roll lives just up the road from me so I can help out with painting the car and all the leg work for getting ready.  Im not amazingly up to speed on fixing cars tbh (although I have built one and can fix most mechanical stuff someone puts in front of me).  At the very least I dont mind getting my hands/arms/head/everything dirty trying.  If I can get away with not extending my insurance to driving abroad for the full five days and having a laugh in the car/camp sites with a few beers and shenanigans then all the better!    My role can be bringing joy to europe with my beautiful ass...  

Should be a good laugh - its only a few days of rallying across europe and the worst that happens is the car catches fire and we just have a BBQ in the middle of France/Italy in July  Neither of those things sound like a terrible way of spending a weekend to me.




PS: Knighty, sucks you cant go - not seen you in ages!  Getting a new house in next couple of months and were running a monthly poker night again if youre in?

PPS: does the Volvo run only on LPG or can you use normal fuel too?  I seem to remember bits of europe being sketchy with LPG only cars (different filler sizes and problems using car transporters and tunnels...).  Its cheap but were screwed if we run out or its a hot summer in Italy

awesome man - Ill be in touch.

cool  you got round your job commitments?  but yeah Ill be starting it up again properly and letting everyone know with plenty of warning

Good news all! Although a bit dissapointed about your news Nige, but great job Steve stepping in there

Steve thanks for that, like I said, we plan to drive down the night of the 5th of July, getting to Folkstone for the 22:50 train.
(Id also like to play poker too )

Oh and steve... www.dayinsure.com

I didnt pay my internet after my debit card expired and I got a new one and my Internet has been cut off, and Tiscali are going to take upto 48hrs to put it back on. Damn fools! so Im at my dads just now.

I think it might be easier with that big tent alan offered, what do you guys think?

yeah big tent is cool with me too

just let me know what and when you need things from me.  Kind of keen to help with the paint job if you want any help...  Guess you have my phone number but if not just PM me.

edit:  Mr_roll: "Id also like to play poker too."

Itll be open invite to all Tek people of course but all northerners get a direct invite ofc  Even Serious!
