Sorry chaps, had a crazy few weeks at work due to a lovely virus outbreak, so not been reading the thread for a bit...

Michael & Joanne SEAFRANCE 06.45am arrive Calais 09.15am YES RABBIT
Tony & Dbs SEAFRANCE 06.45am arrive Calais 09.15am YES RABBIT
Mark & Chris P&O Dover - Calais 9th June Departs 08:30 Arrives 11:00 YES White Rabbit
Dan & Jo P&O Dover - Calais 9th June Departs 08:30 Arrives 11:00 YES White Rabbit
Ki&Lynn-0700 Dover-Bolougne-YES White Rabbit
Chris P&O Dover - Calais 9th June Departs 08:30 Arrives 11:00 NO White Rabbit

I'm on the same rebooked ferry as dan & mark but not staying at the white rabbit as i don't live that far away and thought i could save that bit of dosh for beer money! :D

As for stickers, then it'll probably be easiser for me to just order from hollographics like i did for my first year.

Dan - my grandstand seat last year included general admission, so you shuold be ok, but probably still worth double checkng... which reminds me, I still need to sort my admission ticket!

Nope, that needs to wait til payday, which is fortunately not far away. Absolute pig of a job getting it off a MK2 turbo as well!! Involves exhaust removal...

Thanks for the offer Mark but as it is the MK2 has 4 different kinds of alternator and they're all bigger than MK1/3 ones... I'm just gonna buy a new one. Don't want to put a 2nd hand one or a recon one on and then it fail in the first few weeks cause that will be when we are in France! Gives me an excuse to slap a Fensport lightened pulley on it while it's out, silver lining and all that ;)

See about 2/3rds of the way down page 18: http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... &start=340

You can just email Dominique and tell him you want to camp with the toyota club! Nice and easy - I think most people have booked it already but as you'll remember from last year there's loads of space :)

I still need to book my ferry, definitely doing that over the weekend and then that's everything. Must remember one of those high vis jackets, forgot that last year #-o
Is it just me or is everyone else driving their cars that little bit more carefully the closer we get?
