^i thought that you could get cover on you and not the car so that would take the car age out of the equation! Or would thy just be a right pain in the bum.

It does, but it excludes cars over 11 years old when out of UK, but Dan and Danny are right we should be able to bodge it :)

I was looking into going to the ring on the same date as this, just found this thread. Is it too late to join in?

Course not mate. If your up for it you should have a mini northern convoy. Me and a mate are heading down from outside York for the 6am ferry.

Providing I'm allowed the Monday off work, I'll be there! Will be boarding the 8PM ferry on the Friday and will be at the ring for around 1pm Saturday afternoon. Will be catching the 4pm ferry home from Dunkirk on the Monday.
 
Fingers crossed you get it off! We can save camping space for you.

Ill find a place with a postcode for all the 6am ferry people using DFDS seaways so we can get on together :)

Fuel prices are a nightmare at the moment. When I was in France in March the fuel was cheaper in the UK.

^to be honest it usually is. It was probably my choice/location of petrol station last time.

Just checked this isn't 24 hours. I you want or need 24 hours then there is

This is just a little further in to town but on the same road. It's about 2 minutes from the ferry.

Picked up my tent yesterday, eBay Bargain 4 man tent, £80 brand new, set it up today, OMG it's huge! I can stand up in the living area bit with head room :)

Also bought an airbed/sleeping bag combo all in one thing which is pretty cool, does anyone have a pump for it? While in Argos i also got a picknick bowl, plates, knife, fork and spoon set in plastic, there is 4 so i can just eat off them and then bin them :eek: I'm such a man :p

With regards to Tools i'll be taking my:
- Halfrauds 150 piece tool set
- Breaker bar,
- Various fluids for my car
- Impact wrench set (i find these handy as they are longer)
- Coil pack
- Leads
- Paper roll
- My low alloy trolly jack
- Duct tape :)

Other spares we will need that would be handy if some else brought that we could share would be:
- Brake pads (I think Rhys is binging these)
- Axel stands
- Impact wrench (I think Rhys is bringing one)
- Torch!! (I might actually get one tbh)
- Cable ties (DannyR i think this one is for you ;) to bring)
- Tow rope maybe :dapprove:
- Air pump for airbeds/tyres
- Tyre pressure gauge
- Hand wipes for oily hands (I think Rhys is bringing these)
