Made me laugh too

But as mentioned above, that should be your three bits of bad luck out of the way. I have had my 3 recently too.

Lets hope it is a trouble free trip for everyone, but you deserve a bit of extra luck Nige We'll give you a big group hug on the ferry

Is there anyone that hasn't got anything on the list and can't get out to buy it now?

Don't panic, you can buy everything on the ferry.

Reading some of the info on the web, some countries require you to be able to prove ownership of the vehicle if you are stopped - which the V5 is the usual document to produce. (Yes, i know the new red V5's state the opposite on the top of them )

I've always taken mine and would recommend people do have it

Im going to use my mob , as the radios are not much cop unless realy close, although they are a bloody good laugh when we are all in tight convoy.

Had some right giggles.

I have a few ideas regarding convoy down, will need to swap numbers with a few people.

The Nokia's are fine.

Smart phones are ok but I find you get a better signal strength and battery life with the cheapies.

At least you will only have to charge it once just before you leave, instead of every other day..

I've got a foot pump in the boot, although that won't help you on the way over

Last year my pressures were up in the 40s after a couple of laps in the afternoon so I was screeching round every corner. Will let them down when hot this year then pump up after
