When is the Yay or Nay date?
No deadline as you just need to book ferry/hotels and turn up :thumbsup:

Sooner the better though since its 11 weeks away :wink:

Outward crossing 29/03 12:00 (noon) DFDS seaways Dover - Dunkirk

There isn't a set return crossing, some people (me) want a full day in Bruges, others might want to get back to blighty earlier. I'll probably get the 18:00 return crossing to miss the worst of the M25. That's wenesday 03/04.

Bloody hell that was a good save from the Celica, how did he miss the barriers?!?!

I'm still a maybe for this...if I do come it'll have to be last minute decision unfortunately as we're (the wife) planning to book a last minute ski holiday but if there's nothing that takes fancy (cheap!) then it'll be a mini UK break and then a go go go for this!

Serious about a potential co-pilot though if I do decide to do this, not sure daughter would want to do this trip. Might ping a petrolhead friend (although he'd probably want to then bring his hopped up RX-7...)
stu if u struggle to find a suitable co-pilot let me know, work/money/time off dependent i might be able to pop along so if either of us have snags keep in touch....

i do want to do something in Europe this year.....

I'd like to do this, but it looks like I might have to be in South Africa. Typical, a trip I've wanted to do for ages comes up with work and clashes with a run I'd really like to do :cry:
