For those that wish to pay for the hotel by bank transfer you have until thursday evening to do so!

Just a reminder the hotel only takes cash no cards.

Hopefully just the new shocks to actually do (as long as nothing else is bent/broken once it's been apart, back together and re-aligned!), it's just finding the time and somewhere that isn't booking 3 weeks out to get it done!

You sorted yet mate? :drive:

I think when people suggested you lifted the car a little as it rides a bit low this isn't quite what people meant.

Had this text from RAC earlier today...

Due to the current fuel shortages in France, if you're planning a trip there or travelling back to the UK, make sure you have enough fuel to complete your journey.

Shouldn't be an issue for us but goes to show they are issuing statements because of the problems Terry mentioned earlier...

BIG"E" 27-05-2016 07:10 AM

7 DAYS TO GO !!! :doubleup:

Picked up my euros today, waited and waited and managed to get €1.30 to £1, so that's me pretty much sorted, just packing to go.

I might pop into Tescos and get mine tomorrow. Strange how the rate has got better, everyone expected the £ to weaken with the uncertainty over the referendum...

Last month's exchange rate graph:
http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?fr...to=EUR&view=1M

Hmm.... how much to take this year...

scotty 27-05-2016 09:57 PM

Hayleigh has kept an eye on it the last three weeks and we decided to go for it yesterday as it was the best it has looked in a while. We felt, just like you, the closer the referendum got the worse it would get for the GBP, but it wouldn't seem that just yet.

When ever we get woke up by Si and Jo :beer:

Steve_PPP 29-05-2016 08:45 AM

Going to get the scoob back up in the air today, final checkover and re-fit undertray that's been off the car for best part of a year whilst i've had the oil leak. Then just sort a few little bits, remove lower zunsport grill to improve airflow into rad, topup Rain-X on screen etc.

Then off to fill her up with vPower. Makes sense to brim it before we set off just in case the petrol station at Ashford is mega busy with everyone trying to top up before France. But hopefully the situation will have settled down over there by Friday.

:drive:

Queuing at Folkestone was reported yesterday but as you say Steve hopefully should be ok by Friday.

I could be it you Si, Liz is already hanging on and that's with us only going to work :grin: lost everyone on our last trip leaving the services although it did mean we missed the Charlie incident :wink:
