Nice possibility to have some drift fun in the UK 15/04/2005

If your flying consider also Newcastle or Teeside airports, might find some cheaper fares there.

@Mux if you want a seat no problem, you can also fly into Aberdeen, but its a 6hr drive from here, 260 miles according to autoroute. Would be a bit of a nostalgia trip for me, used to go to college in Middlesborough and stayed out at Redcar.

JonT,

Yeah I heard about the newcastle option so I checked it out. If booked in lowseason (may should still be low season) and I'm carefull with dates I might be able to get a ferry crossing for around 200 to 300 euros (but tick a wrong box and suddenly the price is 500, these ferry things are weird). Still alot of cash... Then again, if I can find two more passengers who are willing to sit in the tight rearseat of a hachi the per person costs can go down a bit. The expensive bit are the car and the cabin, take a 4 person cabin and things could get nicely priced. Total cost would most likely be around 100 euros per person for a return ticket if we split the cost evenly.
Also there is a little issue of the added cost of a hotel..

Ian, yeah its starting to sounds like a nice place to have an adhoc hachi meeting Damn I need to win the lottery..

I have gained a weekend pass from the wife in anticipation of this, anyone know if there is a date yet ?

[Mux213]

OKay guys, more info on this thing!! I'll modify the first post so check it out!

[JonT]

This looks interesting, although i will have to get a move on with the repairs. Any of you dutch guys going over with a car, thinking of getting some fibreglass over the water !

[Mux213]

I wanne go but I am not sure if I can get the finances sorted for it... Other things have priority right now as you know

[Ivan141]

Mux, if you go you could maybe meet up with JonT for the FRP parts...I'll sponsor you with some of my original shipping costs..
Maybe swat 2 flies in one strokes y'know...(old dutch proverb..)

[Mux213]

Ivan,

Thought of that but the ferry crossing is much more then then the shipping costs during the weekend when this event is..

Also as I understood from JonT the parts are in glasgow, a fair drive away..

[PazzaAE86]

Yeah as Jay said, im hoping to be there providing the machine is running! So, perhaps i'll meet some of you guys there!
