First aid box , Warning triangle etc Think RAC Do a EU Boxt type thing

EU Breakdown cover just in case

 

I'm with the RAC, so hopefully shouldn't be too much hassle

 

Im with the AA, and they quoted £20 to include Europian brakedown cover for the weekend, which i thought was quite good.

So to re-cap


Logbook
insurance
MOT
Drivers licence
Travel insurance
First Aid kit
Warning triangle
Credit card


What is a E111

 

AFAIK AA dont cover the ring, so we will have to tow you out somewhere quite :-)

More infor about the AA here:- http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/unfriendly/index.html

 

Ive prob got the name wrong, its a form from the post office you need for euro cover, I think.

 

Is this something to do with travel insurance? Is this a requirement then?

 

No you have not You are correct

Go to your local post office & Ask for a Form E111

Fill it in & In return you will revcieve a credit card type thing in return , This is for your Health cover & you will need to show it to the GP if you have an accident whilst in the EU

The E111 Form is free & So is the card in return

Tiny ...

 

You have to produce this, in case you have an accident, and get taken to hospital or need medical help. Hi - Vis jackets are also required, I know it might sound daft but I had a puncture on the way back and changing a wheel on the road side is not one of my fondest memories.

Make sure you have got plenty of money on your c / card because if you come off at "The Ring" ,it will cost you dearly........trust me

I am sure we will all meet up nearer the time to swop phone no's, directions etc.

regards "MADDOG"

 

The last few posts are really filling me with confidance about this trip.



I WILL NOT be coming off this time.

 

Cookstar, just take your time and drive within YOUR limits and everything will be ok Far too many people have come off trying to keep up with the regulars / locals. The regulars, who have driven the track many times, have an advantage which is...................... they know where they are going

regards "MADDOG"

 

Wise Words from Mr Maddog

 

Nev, you wouldn't believe that, if you saw me flying through the air.............. backwards going through Wiperman

Not a case of running out of road, just ran out of talent

regards "MADDOG"

 

Glad I wasnt a passenger for that!

 

you could be for the next

regards "MADDOG"

 

Have you seen this?

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...&q=nurburgring

 

i feel ill now after watching that

 

As I stated earlier "Not a case of running out of road, just ran out of talent"

regards "MADDOG"

 

OUCH, don't fancy doing that!!

 

You and me both

 

another day closer

"I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it..............."

sorry, got carried away

 

The E111 card doesnot exist anymore, it has been replaced by the "European Health Insurance card (EHIC))

The checklist is slowly being ticked off

 

As from the 31st December 2005, your E111 will cease to be valid


you can apply for the European Health Insurance card online at:

www.dh.gov.uk/travellers

breakdown cover - Done
Travel Insurance - Done
