STICKY PLEASE MODS!
Its time again to start polishing those camshafts and fitting those line locks.
2015 will be the year of the Ute. Hopefully Gareth is taking his NA stroker which he tells me is far more mental than his supercharged GTS. (As if that's a surprise..)
We have already booked our accomodation. Be there or be square.
Sturdy, you need to make this a road trip. Its pure V8 porn for 3 solid days.

2nd, 3rd and 4th of July 2015
Plan is usually off Tuesday AM, Arrive Wed PM with a stop in/near Jutland on the way.
Thurs->Sat is burnouts, oil, pizza, pics etc then drive off Sunday AM arriving at the ferry/tunnel mid afternoon on the Monday.
Its about 2500 miles. Thunder road speeds in Germany at times. So budget 20mpg ish.. Unless you follow Gurmeet, in which case budget 35mph/mpg, but twice as many stops for all the extra meal and toilet breaks you will need.

I will add my name as interested. Haven't got a scoobies on what the plan is though. I assume this is a short jaunt into Europe?
We have the plan. Just book the dates and follow the pack. As Rich says if you love your V8's and are old enough to remember American Graffiti, you will love this. You will want to arrange digs though, and be careful to avoid where GSD and NoW stayed this year.

You may want to consider booking DFDS to Dunkirk next year as first choice, due to Eurotunnel cock ups, we never seem to get the trip back with them ???Plan is usually off Tuesday AM, Arrive Wed PM with a stop in/near Jutland on the way.
