what about toppers with his kit??
cz just thining if i change my kit b4 then

 

[kieran]

i reckon youd want some planks, it no biggy just a couple of planks about 3 ft long and all is good, by then i hope to have a kit on but im not to worried about the ferry :thumbs: as long as you go prepared all is well :thumbs:

 

[Nicely]

We could always take the Tunnel...

 

[kieran]

tunnel is far faster, knocked nearly an hour off the time if you include boarding etc, defo a good way to go just usually more costly

 

[raytsang]

yeah
you guys can plan out a Europe trip

train from channel tunnel to France drive to Germany via autobahn, pit stop at nurburg ring. then make way up too sweden via autobhan again...
would want a week or two for a fun trip.

just remember to give the car some fresh set of rubbers and oil.

 

[raytsang]

[slammedmind]

hell yes now i wanna go more then ever

 

[Robbyp]

Dont put my name in yet til i see if i can land an s15 thought had one lined up but the guy isnt sure he wan'ts to sell it now!

 

[Nicely]

At this stage, it needs to be made clear to those who haven't worked it out, that its going to cost around ?500 in fuel, ferry (cross-channel) and other miscellaneous stuff. That doesn't include your food and drink.

 

[kieran]

you will also require about 5000 euros for speeding offenses

im just gesting, in all seriuosnous (sp) what happens now if you were to be caught speeding has it been changed yet that you now get points on your uk licence i ask as it is very easy to speed over there without actually realising i found as the roads are that much clearer and i thought smother though others might disagree lol

 

[Nicely]

I find its easiest just to stick to the speed limit or the speed of other traffic. And make sure your Snooper isn't visible...

 

[kimi]

[sushiming]

[Yakozan]

have you guys checked these ferries?

Seems to be going from Immingham and Tilbury directly to Gothenburg.

[Nicely]

Fook me! That's a bit better :thumbs:

http://www.dfdstorline.com/Infobridge/Default.asp?si=988

Still pricey (the return journey falls under the higher price bracket), but the fare includes a berth and meals Works out at ?415 each, which is around what we'd pay to drive, but without the driving (except to the dock and in Sweden).

For those who don't know, Immingham is across the Humber from Hull and Tilbury is on the Thames.

Its important to be aware of this: http://www.dfdstorline.com/Infobridge/Default.asp?si=984

I think you might save a few pennies by going by ferry.
It's only about a 250km (155miles) drive from Gothenburg to Mantorp. Mostly highway.
You wouldn't need to worry about finding places to sleep on the way too :thumbs:

The only downside I see is no cheap booze from the continent

 

[Nicely]

There appears to be a load of surcharges which may also be due. I think I'll need to give them a call and ask for an idea of total price including all surcharges. It MAY be cheaper to go to Esbjerg too...
