Good job I took today off, I was shattered, going to sleep at 2-3am each night wasn't a good idea BUT how can you not with such an awesome group of people.

 

My apologises I didn't get to speak to everyone. Such a huge group it is quite difficult! Though so much love, and that is what makes this club special... The special people (Yes I am looking at you H). :D

 

Honestly was an insanely good trip! Thank you so much to Branners who spent an incredible amount of time building & tweaking the routes. Also for managing to blag €450 a night rooms so we could get a good night sleep! Ellis on Graphics! Darren for sorting out all the bits & blobs plus keeping us in check! ScottC & Havard also for assisting!

 

Some of the roads were breath taking, I could have just cried. My friend Pedro... I mean Anil loved it & is now looking to sell his Audi S8 for a Supra!

 

Love you all, until next year... Adios Amigo!!

I have been described as "special" a few times. It's a great compliment.

 

No need for thanks. I merely offered some advice over the e-mail. All the time consuming stuff was done by others. Even with this advice, Burna was still allowed to attend.

 

Can't wait for next year. Already making plans with the car and fancy dress etc. It's amazing how a larger group can still maintain the feel of the smaller event in 2011. I thought a larger group would make it less fun and more difficult logistically but we seem to have escaped that. Again, it's all down to some seriously time consuming effort from Branners, Wile & Amanda, Scott C, Ellis and yourself.

No Alan with the white wide arch supra whose alternator died.

 

Yep I got back about 5ish monday afternoon after hours of utter fecking bad service from the RAC!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to keep calling them to find out what was happening??? anyway really long story cut short.

1) I brought RAC gold cover before I left just incase as it was the best they had on sale on the internet

2) We called them and THEY said I have a policy limet of £1500 with phone calls keeps changing down to 600 euros that they would pay!!

3) We got picked up after calling at 9am at 1ish just to be dumped in some hotel that was stuck the back of bayroute!! the tow truck driver said he will NOT!! leave the car at the hotel as it NOT SAFE!!!!! but he will lock the car in his building over night

4) There was no one at the hotel and we all had to wait there 20 mins for someone to let us in after the tow truck driver called them to find out where they was!!

5) I then had to pay 145 euro for the room to find out the hotel dose not serve any food!!!! and has not even got tea or coffee in the hotel rooms!!!!! so we could not even eat or drink what a utter joke!!

6) found somewhere to get a pizza and chips and even that was a poxy mission 50 mins after order taken we was served and to make you lot laugh even more we was the only fecking 2 in the shop!!!!

7) On way back to hotel looking at the cars there was not a straight pannel on one of them and top it off a C220 merc with the drivers window smached out of it and glass everywhere

8) This was only sunday LOL!!!

9) Now Monday morning we had we phone the RAC yet again to again find out what was happening with us and the car!! And was told We had to pay 764.50 euros to the RAC to pick my sack of $hit car up and us so we could just be taken to the tunnel and not back to england!!

10) We was so pi$$ed off I had to call to use a card as I just had enuff and wanted to go home so we could pay this bill

11) we payed to cost of 764.50 euros to the RAC at 9.30ish and found out from the tow truck driver on way back that he was still phoning them at gone 11 to see if he was still picking us up and doing the job??

12 When he did turn up first time he had a truck with 3 seats but this time he turned up with a truck with 2 seats oh and a fecking beanbag wedged in the middle of the seats and this was how we got back to the tunnel!!!

 

So if you ever take out RAC GOLD european cover just wipe your arse with it as this is the service you will get!! they go from £1500 to £800 to £600 to them only paying 600 euros!!!!

treat you like crap!! speak to you like your thick!! or give you the option that you can have a car to use to get home via the ferry as you have to leave the car at the docks and you go as a foot passenger and make your own travel arangements back in the uk OH AND THIS IS ALL AT YOUR OWN COSTS!!!! and the car will be dropped off in the uk to a address you state OH BUT THIS CAN TAKE 2-3 WEEKS AT THE EARLYIEST!!!! This service is just a utter utter joke

 

I am having a good friend draft me a right snotty letter so I can complain but just want you guys and girls to know just how BAD there service is if you had or will ever use there service

 

Little rant over now guys lol but so much thanks to everyone that tryed to help me home but a much bigger thanks to branners and the very long hours the people but into making this trip again!!

 

Hope to see you all about soon :)
