Nice one for managing to find the topic stu

Cant beleive that happened with the sunroof, not seen those pictures before!

Is it all sorted again now?



As a side effect you do realise that bumping the topic has reminded me even more about what an awesome holiday it was last time and im not even more excited about the next one having just booked the hotel yesterday!


Cant fucking wait



Just need to buy a car to take now

As a very approx figure, its about a grand per car basically, maybe 1200 if there is 4 of you and hence have to have an extra room.

So 300 for 4 sharing, 500 for two sharing.

Thats for EVERYTHING though, even your beers

STU - so what preparations you made to the Saphy for this years trip?



By the way - do you guys take a lot of tools on such trips?
