Jspec Germany Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 My chances of going have just dropped from 51% to 38.5%. May have a military committment in Italy. If I don't make it, my wife Carly may go without me and maybe bring a girlfriend. If so, I'll look to you guys to take care of her (waits for the myriad of jokes to follow). Either way, I won't know until Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Doom Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Did any one get any speeding fines during the Dragonball last year?... I've got a feeling we might get targeted after all this Gumball fiasco!... If they catch us lot thrashing through france, a week after 2 people died during the gumball, i don't think they'll be too impressed... so..... how fast are the french police cars? and do they have hellicopters? :D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiversteve Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 so..... how fast are the french police cars? and do they have hellicopters? :D:D Unfortunately yes. And there was one based in Calais. Not sure if its still there after they closed the refugee camp at Sangatte. French police do like original documents if you get stopped. Driving Licence, Insurance (with green card if your policy still requires it), Log book, and I was once asked for my MOT but it was a new style one and it seemed to confuse them so it was pushed back at me.

Burna Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Is anyone taking a large sum of cash incase the boys incase they upset the boys in blue? Yep, but don't pull it out in one big wad, stash it about you in smaller amounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Somebody bring an extra PMR for me. I didn't have one last year because my U.S. PMR couldn't talk to the UK PMRs and that sucked. I've just finished watching last year's vid. Can't wait for this year. Hope I make it. Damn weather. Edit - Does anyone have a spare TTC or switchable setup they wouldn't mind parting with? I can't seem to find the required parts here in Germany and need it to troubleshoot possible VSVs. If someone can pick up the parts at a reasonable price, I'd be interested. Please let me know.
