It seems that due to the summer months, there's fewer trips going from the U.K. So it looks like we'll be going on the Wednesday and having an extra 2 days in Norway Should be great fun. Anyone had a think about going yet?

Nah mate, me and the rest of the immigrants have to row the fooker!

It's a freight ship aye, so small cabin, games room and beer...proper man's boat I'll pass the time easily.

@ Bil n kel

Worked out that for the ship, its Ł689 in total with food and drinks etc. included. So, basically leave on Wednesday @ 5am and arrive Thursday @ 8am. So a relaxing day of drinking and eating when no ware and tare occurs on the car and just the show tickets to pay for as extra. Would easily use well over that in fuel driving the whole way, not including the track fuel usage. I've got a budget of about Ł1k, which I doubt I'll hit to be honest. Good at budgeting

Got a bucket full of cleaning crap so far

Got told it's only Ł180 for a passenger on the ferry in total, and obviously the show ticket cost which includes the camping etc.

John's supposed to be coming in his 3door, if not then as passenger. Hopefully he'll let me know after his car's back from MSD on Saturday

Do you fancy it do ya pal?

Me old man has decided to come along in his Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian, which is nice since he likes his car's and rarely get's involved with my car things. Handy really, means I can take more food, tools, beer and camping stuff Winner!
