Nurburgring trip

[DannyR]

It's a grey area, as insurance asked will we be towing.

I believe laws are slightly different for cars though as technically it's not controlled by the pulling car. I'm sure we would be fine anyway, and once were in UK just call the UK breakdown that's of course if needed!

Also worth checking phone company's etc... I can pay £3 a day with orange for 30mb of data where as without it 1mb is £3 lol!

 

[dmallett]

Im just putting mine on airplane mode

Hopefully towing is not needed.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Stickers look good Danny!

Also am i the only person Man enough to go back to work Tuesday? Sometimes being self-employed sucks!

I am back to the grind stone Tuesday too

 

[andywa]

​Im glad I'm not there today. Just looked at the ring cameras and it's heavy rain.

 

[andywa]

Have we settled on the meeting point?

 

[DannyR]

28 deg tomorrow! Thurrock services I thought, about 230-300?

Missus just treated me to loads of snacks =D

 

[andywa]

^are we scrapping the idea of a Dover meeting point? Oh and you lucky sod, my missis hasn't left the house to get me any treats.

 

[andywa]

Oh is Thurrock services the one before Lakeside? Sorry no idea. May need to get someone's mobile number if that's ok so we dont get to lost coming down from York.

 

[dmallett]

I AM READY! minus throwing my bag in the car and buying some pot noodles.

Think the final meeting points are...

2.00 am - Fourwentways services. CB21 6AP

3.00 am - Thurrock services.

4.30 am - Dover South Services. (24hour) CT17 9EE


This gives us s**t loads of time and fingers crossed it goes to plan

 

[andywa]

^splendid we'll see you all in Dover then.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

My misses bout me some new trainers and a tshirt. I'd of preferred sweets tbh

I've still got s**t loads to do, finish packing, get euros, wash and Hoover car, hair cut, pack car, all before 14:30 tomorrow

 

[Chri5]

Ok I'm all packed apart from a couple of last minute things
I'm not sure I'll be at Thurrock for 3 so I may have to meet you guys at Dover.

Can a couple of you guys I know pm me your numbers? Nice one!

 

[DannyR]

I've just gotta load stuff up, clean car and get my euros!

07743855614 for anyone lost, and Thurrock is the lakeside services I believe.

 

[andywa]

^Cheers.

 

[dmallett]

Im getting euros on the boat lol.

My number, 07861 561 602

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Will ya get 1.2 to the pound on the boat?

 

[dmallett]

Dont know, can't get them any sooner

 

[DannyR]

Tesco?

I'm getting mine tomorrow at 1.198 which isn't bad.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Can't make it to a sainsburys mate? They do travel money and if you've got a nectar card you get a slightly better rate. Granted its only like 0.01 of a euro but every little helps lol

 

[andywa]

I'm not going to bother getting any changed. I'm just going to use my card.

 

[dmallett]

I've got 150€ from last month still, I will try change before. Honestly with work tomorrow can't see it happening!

 

[DannyR]

Isn't that 3% on every use though? Then exchange commission of about 2% too.

 

[Breamy]

Some places are picky with card as well. Would check.the campsite take it!

 

[andywa]

^Good point. Might get a few quid changed on the ferry as I've got no way of doing it before now due to being at work. Can't even get any done at work and I work in a bank. Go figure!

 

[Rhys Beal]

I'm no where near ready and won't be on here much if at all so if anyone needs to contact me. 0759 000 8587

 

[dmallett]

P&O offer 1.19 Euro to pound. Hopefully ours is similar

 

[andywa]

^hope so but if not never mind.

 

[Chri5]

Who's silly idea was it to start work early and leave off early 2day lol... Halfasleep.com

 

[andywa]

Ha I'm the same. Up for a full days work then I'll be setting off at 11 tonight.

 

[dmallett]

I feel ridiculously excited now, ill be worse tomorrow!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Well I couldn't sleep last night, I feel like a kid at Xmas

 

[andywa]

Well things have taken a bizarre turn. I've just got back from the emergancy drs with my youngest daughter. Little sod has a nasty chest infection. Day off work now to look after her. Luckily she is responding to the mixture of drugs or I wouldn't be going. Kids!

 

[Breamy]

Hope she's ok!

Can't wait to go now. Got to work early this morn to hopefully have an early day so I can get some sleep!

 

[domsclio182]

Hope you all have a great time

 

[BIGASH]

Have fun everyone who's going take care and bring them all home in one piece! Can't wait to see the pic's

 

[Breamy]

Quick heads up. remember your heath card!

 

[Chri5]

Got mine I think Im all set tbh now, just playing the waiting/sleeping game!!

 

[DannyR]

Just home from work so now off to get tyres changed and euros as the lazy b**ch had a lunch break when I went in earlier!

 

[andywa]

I think I'm about ready. Just sat with a poorly little girl.

 

[Chri5]

Right Im signing off! I'll give 1 of you guys a text/ring tomorrow to see where you are, I MAY be @ Thurrock around 3am, Ill let you know beforehand
See you all bright and early!

Hope your daughter perks up mate
