Red, White, Pink, Black. Probably some others as long as they are not metallic. Will confirm in due course. The price from the dude was subject to getting 70 orders but disappointingly there are lots who are not going for a sticker pack. So we may have to do some hunting around for a supplier to match the price.

Anyone in the Zone do car graphics?

You boys have a crew of five Porsches to look out for on that 0800 crossing as well. They're also part of our gang.

Ajm-e30 firstly whats your real name, it might be a handful trying to pronounce that lot in one go :mad:

I'm booked up on that ferry, I just wanted to know if it was easy to change if I had to closer to the time. Yeah Would be good to meet up somewhere around the m3/m4 junction if you wanted. No doubt i'll be in convoy with ziggy all the way up the m3.

Edit: I'm booked up for the 8.00 outbound, but actually a completely different day on the way back due to having a bit of a holiday out there.

If I were you guys I'd concentrate on getting to a dover meeting point. The last thing anyone wants to do is get held up by someone else oversleeping. Although to be fair, the night before Le Mans departure I struggle to sleep at all!

So what ferry is everyone getting on the way back, beginning to wonder if i should change mine from 16:00 to 18:00 after reading a bit more about Le Mans.

Any news on the graphics for the cars yet Guy?

Planning to change mine to 1800... could happily make the distance in the day, but I've a feeling the extra time to recover in the morning could be rather nice! :)

Jim, you there?!

We have just booked our ferries, Norfolk line, Dover-Dunkerque, 8:01 on the way out 18:01 on the way back in, means time for breakfast on the boat, it`s going to be some convoy you guys have got going, can`t wait to see it. Me and the missus will be in the 325i and my mate and his missus are going in his Merc 450SL. :D

Coming back on the 18:01 now, while i was on the phone i checked about changing the listed car on the booking and she said it would be fine to change it and there isn't an admin fee :cool:

Can't wait now, thing i'd better start sorting out some camping stuff to take :D

Also regarding the graphics, i'm considering leaving the viper stripes off and maybe using something similar from the site below for the bonnet, will keep the number at euro-gt.com logo.

What do you reckon?

I think the only E30's going in this group are from the Zone and we are pretty much all on the same crossing, shouldnt be hard to spot.

Or you could get some E30Zone stickers

Hello all.

Just got back from hols. Lots of lovely cheques on the doorstep. Contracts from Le Mans are on their way. We all good.

Still no word on the logo. My designer is now on holiday but I hope to have something next week.

Re. other graphics. It's only a personal thing for me but I'd prefer not to have loads of Pistonheads logos in our group if possible. They were the only ones that demanded money to advertise hence why I am not on their site. They don't really organise anything for us so why advertise them? Just my opinion. You're welcome to do as you please!

Dan318is - number 2 - I don't know mate. Will check tonight.

Hope you are all well. 15 weeks to go!!!
