That gets in at Calais right? I'm a hop skip and a jump over at Dunkirk. Planned arrival for 1pm Frog time.


Miniandy you still want to convoy down?

Lovely. One of the first highlights of the journey is wandering around the assembled cars while waiting to board the boat. Nice to know there'll be a something to look at.

In fact - the first highlight is spotting cars you can say with absolute conviction are going to Le Mans the day before/that morning on the way to Dover. When you spot a Noble with a sleeping bag in the back window, or a Griffith with white stripes down the bonnet!!

I'm getting myself all excited now...

I'm on that crossing too, along with another North East TVR (blue Tuscan).

And if your looking for a TVR with stripes, i'll be happy to oblige......

Me too.
And I bet it's a safe bet to book the 14/06/07 - 18/06/07 (Thursday to Monday) for next year too.

Since then I've also booked the 10 crossing's for £190 to be used on any crossings, regardless of advertised price or length of time booked before crossing, to be used over the next 2 years. So £38 return whenevr I want, regardless of current advertised price.

They said it was "first 200 customers" or similar in the e-shot they sent out, but if they are still doing it, you have to try and book for a journey on 25/12/06 (a date they don't have any sailings). There should be a "super ticket" or similar, for £190. By it, and they send you an email as to how do redeem your vouchers when you want to use them.

As I mentioned - it's 10 singles (so 5 returns really) and can be used any time in the next 2 years by the named driver or the car you specify.

Bump.

Can't wait now!
See you all on the waiting area to get on the boat.

Bagsey a spot on the bottom deck to accomodate my (cars) low ground clearance (I can see these being at a premium).
