definitely. and the european ford event on the day after in holland

the cossie kombi is coming along nicely ready for the day. everything has been stripped from the cossie shell and the shell is now crushed. the estate has had the complete engine, transmission and running gear removed (thanks to some help from Turboflush). the cossie stuff will be jetwashed tonight, ready to rebuilt into the estate shell over the coming weeks. really exciting project, so looking forward to driving it

Anyone wanting cheap holiday accomadtion in a more holday oriented atmosphere, either hotel or self catering, just send me a PM, I can arrange everything with cheaper prices.

Also those preferring to fly and then rent a car over here let me know I can provide a taxi service for up to 7 people from Hahn airport - prices from 29 quid return flying from Stanstead.

I should be along, by then I'll have my EVO V up and running, and possibly the Orion too.

PLAN:

Lots of us pile into lots of cossies
We drive to europe
Some of us get pissed, some of us drive round the ring
Some of us have hotels, some crash on the floor or in car


Problem solved, now who's up for it?

Drivers requiring passengers:
No idea.

Passengers requiring cars:
You and Kenny

Costs:
Depends on how many are going per car and how economical it is and whether you are passenger or driver, as a passenger, budget for Ł2-300 depending on how big a drinker you are

Hotels:
We're booked, so up to you to find something .
