I was supposed to be catching the portsmouth - caen crossing at 20:30 this evening but I knackered my exhaust mainfold miles away and can't make it!

car is fixed now but am in need of a lift to LeMans or failing that, a camping/car pass to get me in there!

post on the this thread if you can help as my email is knackered!

thanks

Tom

Just spotted this, I might have a space it depends on what car I end up in. Cerb is in the garage and may or may not be back with me tonight. If it isn't then I go in this :



and will have loads of room and you can have the entire back seat as it's only me and friend so far.

However if Cerb comes back then we are in that and (unless you really fancy squeezing in the back of a Cerb and bringing absolutely nothing with you) then probably not possible.

Will update as soon as I know.

Edited to add: Oh yes, leave tomorrow on 7am speedferries, leaving Maidenhead about 0430.

hi mate, i'll email you my mobile if you like, do you know when you'll know for sure which car you'll be in?

to be fair, i'll be up for squeezing in the back of a cerb (I know how small they are!) if it means I can go...

Sounds promising, still waiting to hear my end - think this is classed as an eleventh hour fix.
Tom you fixed up or shall I still let you know?
