You may be in luck, Im about to be shipped out to Australia for 2 weeks which means I miss this event even though Im all paid up for it.

Im assuming we can simply swap over the details for the Ferry and the hotel.

I have paid £126 to cover 1 car and 1 room. If you are interested let me know and I will tell Paul to change the details over and let you know the Ferry details.

I will sort it out with Paul E and make sure it can all be changed over and then we can sort the payment out after that. Cheque is probably easier as then theres no paypal fees or anything like that but the main thing is to get this all swapped over.

Im seriously gutted I cant go as it would have been great, but it does mean I have more time to get my car back on the road and running how I want.

Can you PM me your email address, full name and home address and I will sent that all on to Paul E to get this moving along.

[Ian R]

emailed Paul E with the details.

hmm, thanks. I dont think anybody else can change the details on the bookings so it may have to wait for him to return.

Nearest Disco/ Club I know of is in Verton, a few klicks north.

Its still outside normal French Holiday season so things will still be quiet in the towns.

I will check out if anything on locally on Thursday / Friday whilst I am over there and let you all know if there is anything worth doing on the Saturday.

Your policy may already cover you. But alot don't! Tescos issued my "green card" for free

[Pig]

Just checked they do! got me worried though! I have been told in the past by some insurance companies that i was too young to drive abroad. How shit would that have been!

[mr lover]

Are you a current member? im not and its £29 for me. Thanks for the link

yes i am a member, but that is a lot of difference! it states 10% discount on main page?
just realized probably because i am old and more sensible !!!!!!!!!!

i paid extra for breakdown insurance:)

i'll give them a ring tomorrow and see what they say. thanks

I'm a member and it was £29 for me too, I'm pretty sure if you declare your car is 12 years old then it doubles, I forgot this when I phoned :( muppet.

mines a 95 so looks like i just sneaked in:)

[Guru]

Warning to all.....some european breakdown companies only ask for your license plate and assume the manufacturer date will correspond to that. Obviously with an import it won't. This will make them thinking that you have a 2 year old car whereas it may be 12 years old and will invalidate any cover provided (it costs extra for cars of 11 years old). Go with Direct Line as it costs £15 for 2 days of breakdonw cover regardless of age.

Do Sky's policies extend to Europe anyone?

[Guru]

Doh Burna got there before me :(

[LeeT]

mines a 95 so looks like i just sneaked in:)
so will mine be when i phone them:D . they cant validate my registration on line so a white lie on the phone tomorrow is required

[Burna]

Yep same as Bignum last year when he went to Le Mans, I forgot that he had told me to say mine was 11 years old.

have you got a link for direct line euro cover?

[MrAngry]

I'm an AA member also and they charged me £17 with the discount?? he asked me the age of the car when I rang, also if it was modified in any way

I'm just too excited now, might go pick up a select GB sticker from halfrauds after work.

Paul, I hope you got my email dude!

[SimonB]

do you HAVE to have GB sticker and warning triangle? am i tempting fate here by saying its all useless shite?:D

You don't need a warning triangle in France. If you don't have EU style number plates with GB on then in theory you need a GB sticker.

[gaz1]

You don't need a warning triangle in France. If you don't have EU style number plates with GB on then in theory you need a GB sticker.
mmm think you will find you do need the triangle,well i hope i have not bought this for bugger all :(

[CJ]

mmm think you will find you do need the triangle,well i hope i have not bought this for bugger all :(
Nope - not compulsory.

[Green Peace]

You don't need a warning triangle in France. If you don't have EU style number plates with GB on then in theory you need a GB sticker.

Basically...I never have a GB Sticker or any of that jazz, however considering the fact that there could be a possibility that the Gendarmes might pay slightly more interest to us than normal..id say...try and be as legal as possible, so they can't Knit Pick:p

[~Rob~]

i dont really fancy sticking a big GB sticker anywhere on the car...im thinking of buying one and taking it with, then if its definately required i can put it on when needed.

just checked my insurance and im covered in my current policy to drive in Europe. :)

also gonna do the direct line breakdown i think...

[Ray]

http://www.directline.com/european_motoring/welcome.htm


Do i have to be insured by Direct line to take the cover?

Atm i dont have any form of cover...:rolleyes:

[CJ]

Do i have to be insured by Direct line to take the cover?

Nope :)

[Ray]

Ty :)

il order it now

[Burna]

If your hazard lights work you don't need a triangle, FACT :d

[Ray]

If your hazard lights work you don't need a triangle, FACT :d


So you dont actually need one until your battery runs out? :rolleyes:

[Bondy]

Its actually law in some european countries that you carry a warning triangle and spare bulbs. If you are unlucky enough to get stopped by the rozzers and they want to get picky???

Forewarned is forearmed as they say

copied this off a driving in France site

Replacement bulb set recommended.

Children in cars: children under 10 are not allowed in the front. In the rear they must use a proper restraint system appropriate to their weight, which means a child seat if they weigh between 9 and 15 kg. Over this weight they can use seat belts with a booster cushion.

Documentation: always carry your driving licence, vehicle registration document (V5), and certificate of motor insurance. If your licence does not incorporate a photograph ensure you carry your passport to validate the licence. If the vehicle is not registered in your name, carry a letter from the registered owner giving you permission to drive.

Drinking and driving: Don't do it. Over 0.05 per cent and you could face anything up to imprisonment.

Fines: On the spot fines are issued. Ensure an official receipt is issued by the officer collecting the fine.

First-aid kit is advised, but not compulsory.

Fuel: All grades of unleaded petrol, diesel and LPG are available as well as lead substitute additive. Leaded no longer exists. It is allowed to carry petrol in a can. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, although they probably won't work at automatic pumps, which are often the only pumps in rural areas open out-of-hours, which also means lunch-time form noon to 3pm. It's a good idea to let your card issuer know you will be travelling abroad. This ensures they don't suspend your card if they spot it being used in unfamiliar places, which they sometimes do as an anti-fraud measure.

GB sticker: UK registered vehicles displaying Euro-plates (circle of 12 stars above the national identifier on blue background) no longer need a GB sticker when driving in European Union countries.

Headlamp converters are compulsory.

Lights: dipped headlights must be used in poor daytime visibility. Motorcycles over 125cc must use dipped headlights during the day at all times.

Minimum age for driving, provided you hold a full UK licence, is 18 for a car and a motorcycle over 125cc and 15 for a motorcycle under 125cc.

Motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear crash helmets.

Motor insurance: third-party insurance is compulsory. A green card is not required but your insurer should be advised of your trip.

Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear seat occupants, if fitted.

Visibility Vests are now compulsory in Italy, Austria and Spain (and likely to become compulsory throughout the EU) if you need to walk on a motorway. In Spain we've been told you need a vest for every potential occupant of the car, and that they must be carried inside the car, rather than in the boot. Other sources have said you don't have to carry one, but if you breakdown on the motorway you will be breaking the law if you walk to an emergency phone without one. We're trying to clarify the position.

Warning triangle is highly recommended, although hazard flashers can be used. One or the other is compulsory.

[Ray]

Just got my break down cover sorted from Direct line :)

£16.55 not to bad.

thanks for the link peeps.

Saturday will be light showers apparently - but Sunday will be wet

Bloody only time drought required!! :)

[Pete]

Oh come on - since when can the weather be predicted beyond an hour?

I'm sure it'll be fine blue skies.

There's been many times that rain has shown on the 5 day weather report & on the day it's been fines so lets hope for the best & anything will do except rain
