47 days left...

Well Ive looked at my list of things to do before we go and Im now at the point where I need to do more than one thing per day.

** Anyone know which map everyone will be using and where to get it from?

** I need to look at the rules & regs bit and figure out which bits of guff I need to buy so as not to loose too many points before we start!!

** Dont remind me about getting the car ready Still not started that!

** Does anyone know how to wash / clean a down duvet without killing it??

** I have my driving license, plastic E111 form, worldwide travel insurance & passport... Any other bits I need.

** Injections - Dont need any of them - still rattling inside from Timbuktu!!!

Hi Jon,

I hope all is well, this may be of some help;


** Anyone know which map everyone will be using and where to get it from?

At 1/500,000 it's good, though still looking for a one with a bigger scale.


** I need to look at the rules & regs bit and figure out which bits of guff I need to buy so as not to loose too many points before we start!!

+++ You'll have no probs with those, a man of your caliberrrrr.


** Dont remind me about getting the car ready Still not started that!

+++ yes, shame we need


** Does anyone know how to wash / clean a down duvet without killing it??

Or take it to a professional cleaner, some launderettes do them.


** I have my driving license, plastic E111 form, worldwide travel insurance & passport... Any other bits I need.

+++ Ferry ticket, Logbook+MOT originals (safely kept) and photocopies (to show), in Spain you have to carry all original docs with you! In case of theft, it saves the thieves time, by not having to make new docs! , European breakdown cover, GB sticker/badge.

** Injections - Dont need any of them - still rattling inside from Timbuktu!!!

Hope it's some help, all the best, Mark

Thanks Mark, appreciate it.

MOT..... hehe... Dont need one of those now... Not been able to say that before with a Landy

Ferry booked. Need to remember V5 doc.

CB still to sort also. Tom, do we get any special discount at Thunderpole?

No MOT.

All the best, Mark

No MOT? lucky bast*rd lol

One day, one day... Although of course your tax is alittle bit more than ours, makes it a more settling thought for us older vehicles!

ALso, i was amazed when booking European breakdown cover that i got penalised as my car os over 10 years old!!

Not fair!

Also only 43 days now! (until the frioday that is, starts there i think!)

Dont know about tax... Mines £175 a year cos its classes as a commercial, of course the VAT came off it too

Unfortunately nothing arranged with Thunderpole, but I have to say their prices seem very good anyway.
