Final check list and travel arrangements 2015
Not long now !!!
Friday 22nd 06.20 Meet @ the Shell service station Junction 11 M20 (CT21 4GH) 06.40 Leave for Euro tunnel terminal. (2 minutes down the road) 06.45 Check in 07.36 Depart UK. We will be stopping at the Shell garage/services @ Barchon Sud E40/E42 for breakfast and then convoy/play down to the Hotel http://www.hotel-an-der-nordschleife.de/ Those who have been before will probably have most of this stuff already. For those who have not been before, the below list is invaluable. Most of the items in the "For The Car" section are actually law in Europe, so I would advise that you make sure that you do / have these things arranged. I'm sure that most of you who have been before will have this stuff, but it's well worth double checking, just in case. Anything that you haven't got can be purchased at places like Halfords. BLUE are the ones that are Law in Europe! Please remember that the breathalysers are a requirement in France . But apparently there are no penalties for not having one :cuckoo: The Check List FOR THE CAR 1: Spare Bulb Kit 2: Warning Triangle 3: Hi Visibility Vests (1 for each person in car) 4: Headlight Beam Deflectors (see link below) 5: Fire Extinguisher 6: First Aid Kit 7: Octane Booster (personal choice) 8: Oil (optional but advised) 9: GB Sticker (if you dont have GB on your number plate) 10:Spare Key 11: Sat Nav (with European Data) 12: Crash Helmet (not compulsory) 13: European Insurance & Breakdown Cover (make sure it covers repatriation, just in case) 14: Track insurance (those insured with Keith Micheals, call Moley) 15: Driving License (including Paper Part) 16: Locking wheel nut tool 17: Tyre pressure gauge 18: Breathalyser kit PERSONAL ITEMS 1: PASSPORT !! 2: Euro Tunnel confirmation e-mail with booking reference. 3: E 111 (optional additional health insurance) 4: Euro's and debit / credit cards (inform bank that you are away for safety) 5: Mobile Phone & Charger 6: Headache Tablets (trust me) 7: European Plug Adaptor 8: Walkie talkies ? (I will be bring the same 3 or more if I can acquire some) 9: Big bag of cash. Euros. Those with TOM TOM's down load the shell garages onto your european maps. If you know of anything that need adding to this list, please feel free to add it. Not long now getting excited !!.

Oft that's a lot of info all comes down to it is set up properly so my money will be well spent with a fast road geo set up to get the best out of my handling upgrades will speak to my garage about the raising the ride height issue at the same time cheers Dave .

Just a thought, is everyone that's going got a smartphone and the WhatsApp app, if so we could have a private group on the app, it would be a good way to keep in touch as messages would go to everyone

If anyone is short of triangle, high vis, fire extinguisher etc. I have all mine from last year that you can borrow, just replace anything that you use. I can send with E if needed.
I will need it all back though as have a trip planned myself later in the year. Shane Shane |
Woo hoo got my euros today .

Good thing we've got the list in this thread, I'd forgot a load of stuff otherwise!
Forgotten to buy some beam benders yet and the £3 ebay ones take too long to ship so looks like i'll be popping to Halfords... think i've got the rest of the list in the garage somewhere! |

I expect you'll get them by Thursday. for the sake of £3 it's worth taking a chance, if they don't turn up you can get them at the garage.. |

The ones that came up in my search were all saying delivery estimated for Fri-Mon.... |
If anyone needs a couple of breathalysers i've got 2 spare

Just to let you know the breathalyser fiasco was ended over a year ago so no longer a legal requirement. Hope you all have a safe trip.
