Sheefa Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 All, I'm certainly not being left in the luch this year by doing something stupid like forgetting my license or car keys. There's been a few threads going round, but can we get a definitive list of what MUST be brought on the Dragonball please. I'll start it off..........and edit this post as other things come up! Passport Full Driving License Log Book Breakdown Cover numbers Insurance Details Euros and Sterling (about £200 in total?) & Change for Tolls Reference Numbers supplied by Paul E (Crossing etc) First Aid Kit (Warning Triangle) Locking Wheel Nut Toolkit Insulation Tape Cheers Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Make sure you have your locking wheel nut key in the car. Maybe extra cash for some Duty Free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Backup car keys? Burna needed his last year. Prebook your booze order at Tesco Calais? (Buy it online then they put it in a container ready for collection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Do you still need the Euro headlight thingys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Do you still need the Euro headlight thingys? Theoretically, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Prebook your booze order at Tesco Calais? (Buy it online then they put it in a container ready for collection) They were shut last year (Sunday). I ended up going to Calais Vin just off the M'way, 2 junctions down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Theoretically, yes. im not going to bother with these, anyone else fitting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 No. I'll leave them in the boot. I think basic first aid kit should be on the list too? Also warning triangle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks guys, and could post about the locking wheel nut Jake. I'll be bringing a big box of insulation tape for oile and boost leaks too. Hopefully 95 rolls of the stuff should be OK for my car, but if you could all bring some too for me that'd be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Fate has already been tempted many a time matey. If I expect the worst to happen, the hopefully it won't - that's how I look at things now. Glass is always Empty and all! Going to make the dreaded call about an update on my car now.............wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VELOCITY Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 You will also need a spare bulb kit as French say you have to have one, but only if you get stopped and searched. What about a walkie talkie?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 As Pete said spare keys are a very good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 why do we need to take our log books ? seems a bad idea to me I was thinking that too Rich, but see other main Dragonball thread and it mentions proof of ownership is always a good thing to have mate, especially as these are rare cars and we're in a foreign country! I might just take a photocopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I might just take a photocopy. thats a very good idea greg, i'm also taking a spare fan belt, if anyone should need it (had it in the garage roof for ages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
