It seems to be going badly wrong at the moment:
-Baz forgot his money, he went back to his house, jumped a red light and got three points on the spot, he already has three and has had his licence less than two years, so ban
-Alex has a large hole in the fuel tank, and they are currently in Nottingham waiting for C8james is on his way down with a replacement.
Chin up dudes!

On M25 now.....amazingly it looks clear at the moment!
DSH is slightly ahead of us (and the rest of his posse!)
LOL, should have seen the old git asleep in the car we have just over taken! Looked about 40000000 years old, mouth wide open dribbling everywhere!

-Baz forgot his money, he went back to his house, jumped a red light and got three points on the spot, he already has three and has had his licence less than two years
He hasn't got 3 points, on the ticket it'll say that he can't take the fixed penelty if it bans him. He'll get a court cummons instead. Time for a suit and a sorry face, plus tales of how he needs his car for work and to look after elderly relitives etc. 2 points and a 3 figure fine probable.
Good luck people. Hope you all bought breakdown cover
Thats not the best start is it!!
Fuel tank replacement... not what you want to be doing 1st thing in the morning. That said, Ive done many crazy repair jobs like this just before an event... you will sort it out Im sure!!
Good luck!!!
It's never plain sailing.....Part of the fun tbh
Blady hell.... some bad luck you're all having there!!
You should be going passed my house pretty soon, if you haven't already!!
Chris :)
Get yourself out side with a banner :)
I'm at work in London at the mo mate!!! Otherwise I'd have been up on the motorway bridge pulling a mooney at all you mofo's!!
Chris :)

4th May 2007, 11:12
Can't give updates when I am there cos I am not paying vodafone £5,88 per MB to use the internet lol!
And not got the webcam on either :(
We are just in Folkstone now, and it looks very earthquake shaken ;)
Got a bit of time till the ferry leaves then... at least that will give you time to check the repairs etc.
Have fun lads!
Chris :)

4th May 2007, 11:53
It's Luke here.
Currently sat in a petrol station in Dover. We are waiting for the others to arrive.
3 hours until the ferry departs.
Got 2/1 odds on Leckie not making it

HAHAHA
c*nt
I have heard Leckie has just joined the M25 so he his about 1hr 30mins away, traffic depending.
Not the best of starts hey?!
Baz, plead insanity. Can't be hard can it... I mean you do think I look like 'Miss January' so you must be a bit demented lol
On a better note, you should just get a hefty fine so you won't lose your licence. Fingers crossed x
Luke i know thats your bun in the oven in your avatar mate, and all the best to you and your missus, but its scaring me!
Think Total Recall.....
Luke i know thats your bun in the oven in your avatar mate, and all the best to you and your missus, but its scaring me!
Think Total Recall.....
Just what i was thinking..... no off....
Its your bundle of joy to be!!!!
Leckster and Baz and posse are 35 miles away.......with an hour to go, will he make it?
M20/A2 are clear. No prizes for guessing if he is complying with the speed limit!
They will pass my work within the next 30 mins approx :p now should i go bosh My VTS into a central reservation, just for shits and giggles?
Btw, I love my little avatar.
Btw, I love my little avatar.

I love you two mate.
I'm sat waiting in Lane 48 of the port, can see our ferry in front of me. I reckon it's touch and go if they make it or not.

frankie
4th May 2007, 14:07
foarrr savage davge jim davage hope all goes well. wish i was going.
Should be only 15 mile away or so now, I think Leckie is doing over 90mph LOL.
Practice for the ring lol
Another update...
The latest they can check in for THIS ferry is at 3.20pm and it's nearly that now. He would have to be doing 200mph to get here on time, so it looks like he will be on the 6pm ferry.
So at the moment it's
Oz & Smithy
Samcook & Neil
Landy & DSH
Mike & Myself
Got a long drive at the other end.
About to board the ferry now, so looks like we will see you on Tuesday probably.
Wish us all luck.
Good Luck lads....Sucks to be leckie etc...

Bloz called me not to long back, he is already at the hotel in Germany as he travelled early this morning and hes got the keys for everyone upon arrival
As of 7pm Luke also text me to say that they were in Brussels with about 220 miles to go. No mention of any other problems at that point which is good news :)

I dont even think they went, I heard its a sleep over at leckies.There all in the Pjs eating chrisps and drinking pop.
lmao , reminds me of the end of 2 fast 2 furious
Thing is cause there saxos and made of tin the ferry would have a dent the size of a 50p and saxos would be mashed!
getting the 6pm boat was probably better anyway, the traffic in belgium during the day is depressing lol
lol gd luck guys - it sounds such an awesome trip. I wish i could go :A: . Maybe next year or the year after i will go :y:
Get loads and loads and loads and loads of pics :y: :y: :y:

I just got given exactly the same message from Mike :p and he asked me to update the thread!
It's 10.10pm there... and they are going at about 50pm along the motorway awaiting hero cloud to catch up with them (as he went back to give Alex some cans of petrol)... and still 300 kilometers to go...
Apparently they are dead bored... as the country is uber flat... and the roads are all the same... sounds like it's not turning out to be as good as they thought!
They are definately in for a late one tonight!
