L18msy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 How much roughly did it cost you guys all in to do this years event, would like to do Dragonball at somepoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 How much roughly did it cost you guys all in to do this years event, would like to do Dragonball at somepoint. The biggest cost will be fuel, and that will vary depending where you live. I managed to do this trip in under 2 tanks of fuel, and I wasn't hanging around, though I do live in London. We managed to haggle the price of the hotel and Euro tunnel to £212 for 2 nights stay. Also Branners managed to convince the restaurant in the Hotel to let us have a buffet meal for 15 euro each! Considering what the menu prices were like it was a bargain. Even more of a bargain considering we paid roughly the same amount for a small portion of burger & chips at a local stop!!

L18msy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Being from the bumhole end of Britain it would cost a bit more on fuel. Would still like to do it though. Got a year to sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is always a downer, though you guys could possibly catch a Ferry to the location perhaps? Just remembered, might not be ideal with your car! We have a few folks who drive 250 miles or so to the Eurotunnel, they normally arrive the night before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I loved the amount of club clothing being worn too, the DB11 t-shirts, the DB12 polos/t-shirts/hoodies and the general club clothing. I'm always pleased when I see our brand being pushed far and wide. There was one particular vest top that showed off the Dragonball logo well....

I was rocking my hoody at Japfest too, I should start charging commission I am definitely coming next year !! The people made this trip great and the driving was the icing on the cake, it was brilliant to see so many people from different backgrounds all with a common interest together.

Pete Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Loved the name stickers. Although, even without them it was clear when I was driving and not Burna due to far fewer drag races lost. Being pretty much the last person away from most of the stops, I'd like to see the itinerary times printed on the excellent maps too. I didn't get the one from the thread and was disappointed that I hadn't organised my own time properly to see the castle for instance...(or the bridge. I really wanted to see the bridge). Depending on the business success and condition of the Supra I will hopefully be able to join in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 so did you all have name badges with your forum name - if so sounds a good idea, nothign worse than arriving at a big meet/event and not knowing who youre talking to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I wondered why you wanted pictures of everyone. I've said after every meet people need to wear their name badges. at Suprapod last year, most were either not wearing them or the wind had turned them round. It's hard when you don't know many people as it's awkward to ask who people are on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
