A good time to leave....
« on: June 03, 2004, 01:24:01 pm »
We're off next Thursday, it looks like a good day to get away; Elections, tube strike, fuel protests....

I'm looking forward to coming home already!!!!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

NO NO NO smokie,

Fill as many jerry cans with fuel as you can as you do not want to arrive in France with a near full tank, besides you can always use the fuel in the cans months after you get back.

I filled up in France in June 03, Put £10 in on the M25 on the way to Pre Quals. Filled up before I go back, Will just make it to Portsmouth next week, Will have enough fuel until going to amsterdam via france to collect Tink, then will still have enough fuel to get to France for the classic. Then I sell the van.

Gordon Brown/ Tony Blair SUCK on that.

I thought Tink was coming down by train. It's a bit of a detour to Amsterdam isn't it??

No I should have said TINK finishes studying farting about in Amsterdam at the end of June so I opted to take a week off to collect him. It's a bloody long way you know ;D

That's odd, I was thinking about the same detour, but the caravan would hamper me too much...

Den Haag is closer (by about 30 miles) and has a smaller but less touristy range of local and foreign delicacies...so I am told :P :P

oh, and when the company gives you a fuel card which won't buy fuel abroad ...you brim it at Dover!
