Right I'm getiing really excited now

...however I do have a couple of questions.

1. Breakdown cover whats the best one to get where from and how much? (I may already be covered by my insurance but I need to check)

2. Do I need to take any spare bulbs and stuff?

I know I should have thought of these things before, but hey I was focusing on the racing.

Many thanks

Dan (and the fyffes special)

I took a full lights kit and a warning rectangle with me last year.

Breakdown recovery - Pah!

I reckon your biggest problem will be camping with the Dorset mob.

Firstly, I'd advise you to make sure you are moderately fit to drive before setting off on Monday.

And whatever you do, don't try and match drinks with Bernie, Bob or Struan - sorry, I believe that should be written as STRUAN.

And for gods sake, don't let the Dane's in again..................

Dan,

Try the RAC, they did mine as a member over five days for £30.78, including a surcharge as my S3 is over 11 years old, so yours should be cheaper even if you're not a member.

Dan,

It may be worth looking through this thread for ideas of what else to take.

Alternatively I can let you have a picking list.

Bob

PS I don't really drink that much its Bernie you have to watch - and this year I've got the car

RAC told me today that the surcharge for vehicles over 10 years old is £90 for european cover.

So Im packing a tow rope instead!
