Rod - same applies to yourself, if you wish.  A tenner to help its thirst on the run.  PM me for a paypal address and I'll punt it by return.

Good luck

Broocie

I humbly accept your gracious offer Broocie!!! (Wow sponsorship from the local fuzz to drive a vehicle of questionable integrity on the Queens Highway!! Ya Dancer!! Wait till the boys at the car park hear about this!!!   )

For the record, our fuel bill hopefully won't be as outrageous as LB & Mark's as ours is only a 2.0, (Although, I think we'll be struggling to compete in the reliability stakes!), but any help financial or otherwise will be gratefully received!!

Thanks a mill'!!

Job done

Remember the pics and regular updates for the troops back here!!   8-)

Much obliged Broocie!!

The updates on our progress will be on a 'best endeavours' basis, but I'll see what I can do.

For the meantime, here's our steed as she looks just now...............



Unfortunately the spoiler fell off last night, so I reattached it with some bigger wood screws!!

Soon to be enhanced with some fins and jet intakes/exhausts.

It dont look too bad Big Rod, will there be a few going to share the driving.

There are three in our team. The idea is that we'll share the driving, navigation/DJ and infantry/artillery positions throughout the trip!!

How long do you think the journey will take my dad is driving over to italy with work at the weekend delivering an exhibition stand as there usual courier company messed up. Great for him (Not).

[Big Rod]

We're going to be averaging something like 350 miles a day, so it'll take us four days from Calais. Some of the teams driving back estimate that if it's done non-stop so-to-speak, then it can be done in 24 hrs!! (I don't fancy that myself!)

[nixoro]

I dont think I would like to do what he is going to be doing although they are following a seperate van up and sharing the driving between 3 people.

Going in a Diesel Merc Box Van so that should be interesting for them.

I think they will be doing the non stop option as the stand needs installing on the Monday I think.

[nixoro]

I take my hat off to you guys

Too all doing the run Good Luck

When I go to south of france, we go non stop. In an Omega, its no hassle doing a 7am to 9pm stint with driver swaps every 4 hrours... ...gotta be 900 miles. Not sure how far naples is.

That's where your problem is, you should be using 6 inch nails
