We'll definately have convoys from various points in the UK to the eurotunnel in Folkstone mate. These convoy points will be sorted out nearer the time and once we know who and where people are coming from :D

I'll be posting a fair bit more info on route options, expected total costs, what we need to take etc. tomorrow :D

the main thing to worry about is rust on the rear arches.
There is a buyers guide, I think it's in the FAQ section. (if not, just have a search for "buyers guide")

Thats the same weekend that Clan Andrews, Clan Gamestone and possibly Clan Biccers are going to France !!!!! Granted, we are driving East, into the Swiss Alps like, then onto Italy the following week. Would be cool to see y'all Sols loading up !!

Re: Getting over to France. You can get VERY low cars on the ferry, when you get to the dock and are queing to drive on, simply ask the Attendant who is directing you to load you onto the lower deck, as your car wont get up the ramps. They will do it no problem, and you can get seriously low cars on that deck, just need to drive slow. Si got his fully laden BMW on last year, and that is Looooooooowwww.....

Ok so as no-one has said they can’t make 12th – 15th August – I suggest we lock this date in – ADD IT TO YOUR DIARIES AND TELL THE MRS!! :lol:

Can you please PM me if you are definitely up for this trip after reading the below, and I’ll start a final list of roadtrip attendees! Really looking forward to this, will be insane!

Essentials you’ll need for the trip:

- Car Insurance for driving in Europe (check your policy)
- Warning Triangle
- Reflective Jacket (I can get hold of these for free for everyone)
- Headlight Beam-Bender stickers (a bit of tape should suffice!)
- GB Sticker
- Tent
- Driving License
- V5 Registration Document
- Certificate of Motor Insurance
- Passport


Estimated Costs:

- Fuel: Estimated driving mileage in France – 800miles (depending on final route). @ £1.30 a litre and 28mpg = total estimated cost of £169 (Plus the cost to get to Folkstone from your town in UK). We can obviously drive less if this is too much for everyone.
- Eurotunnel: £45 each way = £90 return. This is per car so if you have passengers, you can split the cost and save money!
- Camping: Estimated at £12 per night. 3 nights = £36
- Food: BBQ food estimated at £25 pp, we can decide if we have a restaurant meal once we’re there and there’ll obviously be breakfast cafe’s we can find too.

= Estimated cost with no passengers (to split the cost) = £320
I know it seems a lot when you add it all up. BUT, for a driving holiday this is pretty cheap!

In the next couple of days I’ll post up x3 options for driving routes (including mileage details and towns to camp at) through France –

1) To the West Coast
2) To the East Coast
3) Along the North Coast


:D 8)
