AJI Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 not long to go now guys and gals! just a reminder to people that now is the time to be sorting out travel, breakdown and health insurance (if required). I have printed off a load of trip schedule sheets.... please come and collect these at the meet up in Dover on the Friday morning. These are just to keep everyone 'on track' as to what's going on during the weekend in respect to the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm well excited mate Will be getting breakdown insurance sorted this week - direct line works out at £35 - know anything better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 that price is in the right ball park.... I paid £40 with the RAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Just want to do a check to see if everyone has got themselves a PMR walkie talkie ? If not then although its not an essential requirement for this trip they do help you keep in touch with everyone in the convoy. If you want to call in a fuel stop or any other general talk then they are very useful. They are also useful at the track to keep in touch (but not to use them whilst driving on track abviously). Argos sell them for around the £30 area. We will be on Ch.05/05 so a one with sub-channels is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 How Ironic. I will be in Lincoln, England thru the 30th at a minimum. Plan is to drive down (one hour from home) and meet you guys as soon as I get home. Bummer, looks like we won't be meeting along the dutch/belgian/german border. More to follow as I get words.

Tom S Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 AJI, not fancy popping over to Squires today then ????? Be a nice drive in lovely weather!! Post up product code for Radio and i will buy one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I don't have a radio. I'll think about getting one but will have to see how much money I've got spare after I've accounted for fuel/beer budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Any one of the following types would be sufficient: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Motorola-T5412-PMR-446-Radios-twin-pack-new_W0QQitemZ9737032064QQcategoryZ72405QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://www.twowayaccessories.com/product.php?id=3253 http://www.smye-rumsby.com/productdesc.aspx?catid=83&prodid=853 http://www.pmctelecom.co.uk/shop/WT86.html As long as they have the 8 main channels and the sub-channels to go with it. All these two-way radios are classed as PMR 446. Its to do with the bandwidth frequency and the power levels of the signal. But as mentioned although they aren't mandatory for this trip they will be extremely useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm near Heinsberg Steve. It's at the end of the A46 on the west side of Dusseldorf. I think you're only about one hour - 1.5 away. I really hope I get back on the 30th from RAF Waddington. It would be nice to make the trip down to meet you guys for the first night. If not, Steve you going to the Ring that weekend?

SteveR Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I have added this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=872651#post872651 for people interested in stopping at Ashford the night before the ferry on 29th Used it for Dragonball and couldn't have any complaints Ian, Kate and I are staying at the Travelodge on the M2 rather than the Ashford one, unlike Ashford the rooms were still being sold at the discount price last week, plus it's slightly nearer the ferry terminal I believe. See you soon either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
