Just google mapped it and see what you mean Gray. 667 miles - 12 hours 15 mins. Factor in stops for fuel and food and you're spot on. Bring it on! What time we getting up on Wednesday Stu? ha.

Ah I thought when you said 700 it was from Calais/Dunkirk. I feel a bit better now. Even though I'm not making myself look very clever ha. Yer it's on by myself ha, tunepoint is in the car so ipod shoukd keep me entertained (I hope). Few cans of monster and 20 fags will do me I'm sure. 13hrs...

Haha Stu, I love mine, such an upgrade from my 172. My mum has just classed me as mentaly insane when I told her my plan. Adam (other Adam). Please don't forget to bring my sticker with you, I'll be very upset if I can't put in on my car when I arrive at 2am.

I win, brembo 4 pots :rasp:

Hahaha that's embarrasing! 1000 miles in a day. This gonna be fuuuuuuun.

I thought they were an hour behind, not ahead? Haha I was only there 2 weeks ago aswell! And yes driving on my own. Good about the speed cameras, not going to go stupid mind, but will probably toe down a bit.

I'll give dan a call in the morning and see if he can get me in any earlier on the Tuesday for crate of beer. May as well ask ha!

Fcuk it. I'm doing it. Adam's back in the trip. :D On another note, what's France like for speed cameras? :rasp:

I'm still tempted ha. It say's 9 hours. Hella late arrival, but I reckon worth it.

Riiiiiiight I'm pulling off what I thought was going to be the impossible right now. I have managed, well the job agency (somehow) to get me an interview on Monday. Happy days. I have my car booked in with Danny at 519 on Tuesday morning, was going to get it serviced when I got back, but cos I...

Tempting..................

Yer there's no chance of that I don't think. If they are somewhere closer Tuesday, then I'm game! 11 hours straight? Jeeeeez.

Hahaha mission! Let me know where you are on the Wednesday and the Tuesday night. I could smash a late afternoon early evening ferry on the Tuesday and tank it to wherever. Still need to find out if I can have the interview on Tuesday ha. I'm trying.

Ive just spoken to the agency, and there is a possibility of doing an interview Tuesday am. I'm thinking mayyyyybe of coming over on the Wednesday on a 8am ferry if I can get the interview earlier. Dont't want to push my luck with it though! Where are you guys going to be on the Wednesday...

I was thinking about joining after, but I'd imagine it would take a lot of driving to meet up with all as you'll be way past France by Thursday!

Yep, it's not good, well it is but it isn't ha. The only days they are interviewing are Wed/Thurs/Friday, so I can pick my day ha! Soooo I'm gonna have bail on the trip, which is gutting :( Hope you all have a wicked time, there's always next year for me!

I'm in Banbury, well Brackley way! What colour is your 182?

Fred at BTM or Danny at 519. Depends where in Oxfordshire, but after everything you hear on here, would only take mine to one of the two. Need to ring 519 actually to get mine booked in for a service!

I will do, I'm gutted because I want to go on the trip, but don't want to miss this chance. I'll find out at some point today and will let you all know as soon as I do.

Got some possible bad news :( I've been asked for a job interview on Thursday next week. It's through an agency, so I've asked if there is any possibility of them changing the date and am just waiting to hear back. If they can't then I'm gonna have to bail on the trip guys, as I can't turn it...

There you go dude.

I've been done for a couple of weeks to. I say that, but I'm sure I'll realise I've forgotten something when I get there!

I'll put mine on upside down.

I'm getting the list of all the points and challenges this weekend hopefully, so I'll post those up for you to have a laugh at. The beer towers were amazing, run out of beer VERY quickly though. It's amazing how much more you will drink not having to go to the bar to get another.

Yes, I love my R27 more and more every day!

Fair play for trying something different. Not for me though.

This was just something to do for fun, just do it, that's what we did. Found somewhere to go and just booked it. Well, it did mean I was in the porsche, which is comfy as hell. The mini has no interior and two buckets and has the hardest ride known to man and the golf is a bit noisy as well.

We had this issue, only when we got there though, as we didn't want to use sat nav as we wanted to try and get there ourselves. It's under Le Touquet-Paris-Plage in my Tom Tom. Which means Le Touquet Paris By The Sea apparently. Was full of rich people.

Road trip to Le Touquet Paris Plage. First of all, this is a long read, so well done to those who get through all of it without switching off! Photos are taken on my iPhone, so quality isn’t great. The cars involved. 1989 VW Golf MK1 Karmman Clipper Cabriolet 1.8. (Jeremy Clarkson’s Car)...

Ahh thank you.
