If you are goingt o drive during the day I would recommend getting an 8am ferry which will land you on France at 11am their time (2 hr crossing)
That meaning a check in time of 0700 which means you will be leaving home very early doors but no traffic. I left London at 0520 on Friday and was in Dover by 0630.

8am Ferry sounds like a plan, much more civilised !

(Actually just don't know who'll be coming yet
Last time I booked a ferry was last summer, but I can't remember! Knew who was going then though...)E30 in need of wiring loom smoke since April '11...
I was thinking of putting 4 passengers just in case, then when i arrive with only 2 "yeah sorry the other two died, unfortunatly their e30 cut and shut split(at the "jacking" points) at the wrong moment down the m20"

Good point: do you have to pay extra for the people or is it just the car? It's probably gonna be 1 or 2 of 3 people, so I could just put em all!

I've turned up before with different passengers to those listed ! that was with P&O and not Norfolk Line and before the "hightened security" etc.Cotty180 wrote:Ziggy wrote:Yeah, I was planning to pick mine up in a bar the night before too...Cotty180 wrote: I don't know the name of my potential passenger.
Long story
Maybe worth a phone call to check
Another question, which port are you guy's leaving from and to? What company you traveling with? Where you getting your ticket's from? Best prices i found, Speed Chills for race ticket's £48 Norfolk line ferry dover to Dunkerque £38. Trying to organise 5 mate's to come and book 2 place's with you guy's.
Speed chills £48 is pretty much face value mate. THey are ┚¬61 to buy on the 'door' so to speak and you can get them on the day so there is no need to book them in advance.
Given I'm organising a group I should be able to arrange group discount of race tickets to ┚¬55 each. Not going to do them in advance though due to fluctuations in the euro at the moment. Will look at getting a job lot on the day and am just waiting to hear from the ACO if that's possible (rather than ordering in advance)
Ferry - yup. Norfolk line cheapest.
Ginger Tim - not got your name on the list yet mate. Are you coming with us?

Booking forms will be emailed out and posted back then I will post out graphics packages and tickets in due course.
FYI all.
I have got confirmation that I can buy group discount race tickets on the day for ┚¬55 each. Will see who wants them and then head up to the office and buy them in bulk.
Any spaces left on this?
Really interested in going, just got to see if anyone else fancie coming with me!
So car of 4 splitting the cost should be able to do it under £150 easy then?

Kedge, you know you'll regret it if you don't!

I think most of us are going on the Norfolk Line, Dover - Dunkerque 8am sailing on Thursday 14th.Dan318-is wrote:Any news on what ferry you guys are getting / who with and what time etc?
I'm gonna book mine tomorrow now i've confirmed passenger.
We not going to wait to make sure its all definatly going ahead and to check that a whole bunch of other zoners don't suddenly get their cash out, unlikely i know. If loads do, another sailing date might be preferable to the then masses? I was thinking of booking the boat as soon as Guy has emailed us the booking conformation.
