Yes mate - we'll be meeting up on Tuesday morning, then picking up Dave Van Steenis near Worthing en route.

How many bottles of NF do you want (1 freebie from me as I owe you one)?

Cheers

Terry

 

Cheers Stuart, just about got there................God help us if we get lost..............I've also bought ordinary PAPER MAPS...........you never know!!!

 

What about night vision goggles? I thought you guys were going on a driving holiday, not a Splinter Cell mission

 

You worried I'll leave everyone behind Chris

But you're correct... I'm not too keen on leading on unfamiliar roads.

And if I spot a nice photo opportunity I'm prone to pulling over without notice

As I'm not taking my mota I may be able to lend my satnav. Depends whether I can get hold of a bigger SD card for the European maps in time; and the tomtom itinerary file format imports to the Palm version. Will see.

I have asked you all before who wanted me to get some - I didn't buy in advance but will do tomorrow. I can get it for £9.00 + VAT if I get more than 10 bottles (+ postage) - this is only open for those on this tour. This is a saving of £4.11 per bottle. The postage to my house I wil share amongst us all - so you should be saving nigh on £4 a bottle.

for details - http://www.nitrousformula.com/productblack.htm

So who wants some and how much. I believe each bottle can treat up to 300 litres and so I will go for 3 bottles. John (555JRA) wants some too and I owe you one already - please confirm how many you want.

I will then bring them all with me on Tuesday and you can pay me on the day.

So how many do you want??

List - please copy and update into your own posts

1. Terry x 3
2. John - 555JRA x 3

Cheers

Terry

stuart or charliewhiskey, can you email me the route files you've created please, I'll have a go at putting them into destinator.
Solved my problems with the feedback on the pc Ground loop isolator from maplins, £8.99, and all noise now gone
Just need to get the sub working now
chris.
ps, terryb, although I originally asked for some octane booster, I'm getting some myself on sunday, so don't need any now, thanks anyway.

 

Did I not send them to you very early this morning?

 

Not recieved anything here chris. Give it another go
chris.

 

Originally sent to scoobysmacs address but I've sent it to email.com one now

Is the other one still in use?

 

Hi!

Can I borrow a two way radio, please, Terry?

I have SatNav, and it might *possibly* take us the right route, so don't mind leading a splinter cell... I mean group

Don't require Octane Boost (have a few bottles here), but quite fance night vision goggles, please lol!!

Cheers

Rog

 

Both Narv and I have no sat nav or passenger but have radio's and I want to go tale end charlie to get some footage for the "STELVIO TOUR-- THE DVD" So come on chris with your track record with SMACS you should be the man!!

 

What happened to good old fashioned maps ??

You're getting me worried with all this talk of high-tech satnav's !!

Got most of it sorted today so nearly ready

Time ticks on ------------------>

 

LOL you'll be laughing at us when TomTom has us all going round in circles due to a minor road alteration that's not on the map!

...Jane calmly telling us to 'Do a U turn' or repeatedly 'Turn around when possible' Grrrrrrrr

 

I've not seen any decent maps that can match what I have on TomTom 5 or Autoroute!

LOL, we won't be following it THAT literally

It's also useful if we are driving up Stelvio in thick fog, which is always a possibility!

 

Terry
I have sent you a PM with my mobile Will try and bump into you guys Saturday or Sunday night

Tony

 

Have a great time guys and I hope Marv's car stays reliable

 

Got it, will have a play later
Not sure if the other address is working, never use that one really.
As I said before scooby66, I'm up for producing the DVD of the event
chris.

 

Have you got the other one too chris? I've done the conversion for you

Fantastic program that POI Converter!

 

Update from the continent

Whilst 100 RON isn't available in France yet, the french national news tonight showed footage of the latest fuel available at the pumps - look out for Rapsol selling at €0.69 centimes/litre. What is it? Vegetable oil and they are pumping it. I kid you not.

I have a couple of confirmed attendees for Yverdon-les-bains from the locals both with very nice modified scoobs and certainly one of whom has posted on here in the past and runs an accessories business. The other guy is a mate of mine and his motor was featured in Sub magazine issue 14 -- Keith if you are reading, he's featured on pages 14 to 18. JoBlack can't make it as he'll be stuck in work but sends his very best regards to you all.

 

Not checked on the floods and road closures recently.

But we're used to a bit of water up in the Peaks

... even my Skoda (although halfway across I had a few doubts )

Courtesy of a recent Peak Tour - not sure who took the photo

 

Yes, I will try to be present with STIFrenchie to have the pleasure to meet you and to drive with you for some km as you will pass just near my home... if you accept me ;-)

 

nous tous pensons avec imatience depuis des mois a cette voyage

J'espere de vous rencontre mercredi a Yverdon avec Frenchie, et peut etre des autres.

(Je n'ai parlé ni écrit francais depuis longetemps!!!)

Edited to say: Lol I've just put that into google to translate.... and it's absolute gobbledygook
Hope it makes a bit of sense to scooby50wrx

 

You are most welcome

 

I have plotted the remaining closed roads on Autoroute, there are currently 3 which directly affect the route and a few that affect possible diversion routes.

I will keep an eye on these over the weekend to see if they re-open.

H10 Schachen and Wolhusen in both directions closed*
Grimselpass - closed
Sustenpass - closed

* was gonna cut across between Ebligen and Brienz (to avoid that) but that's closed in both directions due to a landslide.

Some of the other roads still have roadworks on them due to the storm damage.

That leaves us with one diversion route Thun-Luzern for which we would need a Vignette or there is an alternative slightly longer way to Luzern from Wolhusen.

I'll keep you posted

 

Thanks for the kind words Steve !!

 

Pas mal missyc, pas mal du tout. Mais maintenant il faut que tu fasse tes répétitions avant mercredi

Salut Alain! Ca sera un plaisir de te revoir. La prochaine question est "on bouffe où?" (nous avons deja passé la page 9)
