I know it's early days but what times are we using the tunnel, as they are very cheap at the moment (61 pound each way) as we know prices start to go up the closer it gets to the date.....

Nice, im away those dates family wedding in spain,, Im going down to there end of August now.

Steve_PPP 19-01-2018 11:03 AM

Just a tip, for those of you that shop in Tesco, they always do 3 x clubcard vouchers on Eurotunnel. Gives you a chance to save them up, we normally end up with about £35 of vouchers which equates to most of the ticket :)

Can't really justify it this year which is a shame as would like to try the new hotel, need to throw some money at the Scoob this year so it's ready for next time.

Looks like ADAC aren’t taking on non German residents anymore, looks like you might be able to renew existing policy.

Did you call them directly ?

I saw this yesterday on a trackday group on facebook too, apparently ADAC have changed their policy on 1st Jan 2018 and all new customers now need to be a German resident with a German registered car.

It appears that auto-renewals will still go through, but if you need to change your details and phone them up, it will flag it with them to stop renewal. So don't change your details ;)
Lots of people on there finding out the hard way.... if the policy has expired, it cannot be renewed as well, so auto-renew is the only way to keep it going it seems...

On a side note, I've always got my European breakdown through Moley. OK, it doesn't include the Bongard tax for getting recovered off the Ring itself, but otherwise its all good :)

555_Si 25-01-2018 10:55 AM

I have to phone to pay for renewal, hmm looks like Moley is my next option. I am not sure how long the Ring is going to be a viable option as if you have a bad day it is getting to expensive, especially as insurance is s now impossible to get.

scotty 25-01-2018 12:59 PM

Just use AA thats what i used had no issues with my accent:-D

SpecB 25-01-2018 09:16 PM

Been bullied into it by Big E. Childcare depending we’ll be there for around 11am on the Saturday morning. We can’t get the tunnel until at least 8/9 on the Friday due to work so will head over early Sat. Or may go for Friday night but stop nearer Calais.

NL03Scooby 26-01-2018 07:02 AM

Unfortunately is going to be a no show from me...

I am unable to get the Friday or following Tuesday off work so that has pretty much scuppered any plans to attend, folk at my work love to turn the bank holiday weekends in to 5+ day breaks and all got there before I did.

ScoobyStu 26-01-2018 02:38 PM

Highly unlikely for me too, again. If it had been the week before I'd more than likely have been able to go. But as Gino says, if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike..... :-/

Rdlangy1 26-01-2018 03:11 PM

Its a no from Laura and I as well I am afraid - only 6 days after we get back from Jamaica...

Trust me steve - nobody needs to see them! Otherwise the accident rate at the ring would increase four-fold! :lol:

Always the same with you drivers lol. :angst:

Neil97rs 28-01-2018 07:49 AM

I'm still working on Lucy regarding this. I'm not winning at the moment.

I know Chris and Rachael wanted to go but his engine blew on a mapping session last week.
Now there is a big argument about who is responsible so his may not be fixed by then
