AET-Ellie

Hi all, here is the AA list.

Dont forget the GB sticker



Just getting our insurance from essentialtravel

Sticky Stuff

If you have number plates with the GB / Euro logo on them then you don't need to bung one of those 'orrible GB stickers on the boot.

Guess what I'm knocking up tomorrow

white scooby

^^^ can you do me some too please?

And if you're gonna be at the unit, I can wire that stuff up for you

Sticky Stuff

Righto...

Got a job on at Alton at 9, then in Hudds at 11. Shall we say 1pm?

white scooby

No probs, see you at 1 ish

Sticky Stuff

Just got my travel insurance and breakdown cover sorted

And got TomTom and Europe maps for me new phone for £40

white scooby

Sorted my travel insurance, for the bargain price of £6.99 Just got my breakdown cover to sort out, and I better order some Euros from somewhere

This time next week we'll be somewhere in France

AET-Ellie

Got travel and car insurance sorted

5 days to go................................

JimmyBFC

Look forward to seeing the pics everyone, I envy you all, best holidays I had were 2 weeks trekking/climbing in the alps when I was younger, better than any p1ss up in Magaluff with the lads suprisingly...although beer was never far away from our hands on a nightime...lol

Alan C

We're taking a laptop, so we should be able to get some pics up most nights on here.... Few packs of cards and 'pass the pigs'... should make the evenings go well with a beer or two...

Sticky Stuff

Been and got all Halfrauded up today. Blub kit, tringle, first aid kit, headlight deflectors, and another Aerobie, so Sean now has the choice of pink or orange for the replacement

corradoboy

Like for like.....

Wheels - 4 √
Windows √
Seats √
Engine √ (sort of)

So, a Corsa it is then Like for like


Have a fun and safe trip guys

Sticky Stuff

^ Cynic

I would hope that most Europeans would have the decency not to stick a spoiler like that on anything

Alan C

Remaining optimistic, I'd expect nothing less than a Type R.

How much crying will I do having to drive a Corsa over those mountains...

corradoboy

Think of how satisfying it would be to drive a Corsa OFF of those mountains

Sticky Stuff

Been and got a couple of Really Useful boxes from Staples this aft. Should come in handy and stop stuff rattling around the boot.

Should only fill one of 'em if anyone wants to borrow / buy t'other.

Think all I need now is some tyre foam and spending money. Even called the bank to let them know I was going abroad so as not to flag my card up

Wish I was always this organised.

Loving the new moblie too...



Running Tomtom with western Europe mapping, MP3 player, MAME emulator, full web smurfing, push email, 3mp camera (Crap, but there if you need it), MS Office, and it even makes phone calls!

And best of all, it cost nowt.

Are we taking/have or need radio's ?
Just upped my car insurance to full foreign cover for £23
The lady on the phone says you'll have it in 3/5 working days I'd already said we were going Saturday and she said ok I'll send 1st class

BRI STI

Would not be a bad idea taking the club radios. I have two here as well if needed.

Alan C

Bri - do they have Cigarette lighter connections so we can keep em powered on all the time?

BRI STI

No they are the one's you have to charge in the mains socket.

Sticky Stuff

Ah, yes... radios.

We have some club ones, but battery life is quite poor. I was thinking of trying to find some with car chargers and earpieces.

Goes of to search t'interdoofer...

Sticky Stuff

^ I started typing the above at 18:42 but then Si turned up

Alan C

What's wrong with a PUG 1007, as a replacement car ? there's nowt wrong with mine.........
