P&O ferries hull-rotterdam are £199 if booked before 18th December. Anyone have any dates in mind as to when they'll be going, be good to get it booked.

Rick.

 

I'd be very wary about booking this early, they dont release the ring opening times till early next year, and how gutted would you be to book a weekend trip to find there was an event on and the track is shut or only open for a few hours

 

AS SAID, usually its easter tbh though, thats when im planning it anyway, norfolk ferries is usually 40 quid too so thats the route us tight fookers take

 

you can ammend the date for £10 do probably worth doing.

 

There's a few of us going over Easter weekend this year We are well down south though so will probably sail from Poole/Portsmouth or somewhere like that

 

Or do that and find the company go bust - like speedferries just have!!

 

thats not gonna affect the norfolk ferries prices are they alex

 

Are you asking or telling there Ginge, if it's the latter then wtf?

 

how much?

you can get the eurotunnel for way less than £100 and then you only have to pay 1/4 of it if you exchange tesco clubcard vouchers

 

I gotta a little fishing boat if anyone want to borrow it to get accross the channel?

 

Let me guess. When they come back you want them to bring back a shipment of "sugar"

 

i am in sheffield but will still go dover-dunkirk cos i am a tight twat

 

bryan you gonna come again this year ?

where thinking about bringing my little one this year ( i know its next year but you know what i mean)

 

Why don't you bring the new FRS mate?

 

definately gonna try mate but it's not looking good unless work pics up and i can get some overtime in. was thinking of taking our lass and the little one and going monday-friday. doing things with them in the daytime and then a couple of hours lapping in the evening. will have to see if work picks up though or i aint going anywhere.

 

I can finish work at 5, 90 min drive to Hull, have a good nights sleep, and be at the ring for lunch. Going via the channel means an extra day off work so ends up costing much more.

 

I defo want to go next year!

 

I'll deffo be there with loads of peeps off here as per every year

Deffo going via Norfolk Line Dover - Dunkirk, £40 as per Ginge, great boats too.

Won't be booking or planning any dates till 2009 for the reasons mentioned above.

IF Easter falls favourably in 09 (Late April at the earliest) then it MIGHT be ok, but last year loads of the MLR lot went when it was snowing, most managed 1 lap.

Loved going in May this year, weather was amazing.

Si

 

will be going next yr in the evo with my dad in his mini and few other from the mlr

 

Si, don't forget to let me know when you're booking

gonna try n get the surrey lot over this time too, can you imaging JB fletch round there!!!!

donuts on the inside of the karousell

 

That would be hilarious! Not sure what the prim and proper German drivers would make of his antics

Will deffo keep you posted, always a good crowd when we go over, which really helps make the trip as good as it always is.

Rick's girlfriend (fiancee?) also makes damn nice sarnies as well, so hopefully we can tie in with them too

 

Si, you got a spare passenger seat mate?

 

Yes sir, can deffo find a space for you

 

Cool, can we PLEASE do your cruise fuelling before then though if im paying half, its fucking terrifying at the moment

 

dont bring chip, the last trip was the best yet and he wasn't there, i think we're on to something with that...







PS it's monday and you didnt ask me out on a date, am i dumped?

 

Charming
I suspect the real reason it was a good trip for you though was more to do with the absense of a shitty red sierra

You are now bitch

 

wouldnt mind going to this, hopefully escort will be back on the road by then with a bit of luck , but even as a passenger would be great

 

just dont crash at the ring - sorry couldnt resist LOL

 

That is in hand

 

Defo 100% up for the May trip. Weather was amazing this year.

I really want to take the bathtub but its just too far to take it on a trailer or to drive it and it will no doubt break! The Audi was born for ring trips so guess I will take that!

Lee is totally 200% convinced he is gonna drive his bathtub there! should be fun.

Will do the Dover/Dunkirk route too. Breaks the journey up and you get a half decent full fry up too.

 

I reckon you and Lee should both take the bathtubs, just break the journey up with a stop off halfway for a night?

 

i wouldnt be driving round in the rain and thats for sure lol, i think id rather be a passenger tbh as id like to learn the track abit 1st and get more experience on track etc before doing the ring

 

Your probably right Chip. It would be immense fun but it a 'kin long way for a high risk of breakdown or something going wrong!

I would love to do some laps in the tub.

As you so effing clever cant you invent teleporting between now and May? Surely between you, Simon SECS and Diva it must be possible!!!!

 

Lmao @ teleporting.

I know what you are saying about the risk of something going wrong, maybe you should load the audi full of tools and spares, and tow your westy, and convoy with lee, then you and him can take turns in driving the audi and trailer and his westy?

If his brakes, it can be trailered back and drive yours, or he can just send it back with adac?

Failing that, both drive them, and just get an adac hire car when they break and send them home, lol

 

Top idea there Mr Chippers.

Deffo be good to see Stu and Lee ranting round in the Westys
I'll tow one over if needed too.

 

Have you even got a tow bar?

 

I'm in the process of buying one off this lovely gent:



Russ Swift's son, who tows his stunt cars and display trailer around behind his Evo 9.

 

looks ace si , think i could do with one of them too lol

 

Sadly I won't be getting the race shuttle

 

I will be up for the may trip again as Polly X said wethear was ace and will be doing the Hull run again, cant beat a good nights sleep !
