.............as regards repositioning the numberplate, did you give any thought to inserting it into the lorry driver so he'd rememeber who he'd ran into lol

Not too late to book....although we'd have to consider very carefully your application - don't want to let just anyone along with us lol

Imho the factory shut down that weekend and the workers never returned on the Monday to finish yours Ian

[] sorry to hear your news, you're certainly not having any luck.....at least the engines done

Asked the Editor of True Grip if he'd be interested in a piece, with photos, of our trip and he's replied saying "yes please.....ASAP!" for probable inclusion in the Autumn edition which would be good and certainly get Kent Scoobies on the map for once. I don't mind writing the article but we need some decent photos taken, in as high a resolution as possible, which can then be emailed to him. So if we have any budding David Baileys amongst us nows our chance. The down side of course is hoping the weathers good on Friday so we can get the cars looking their best..........good weather on Saturday would help as well lol BBC weather site predicting 24c on Saturday - predominately sunny [H]

Apart from Sheepie , who's going on the earlier train (yeah right lol lol lol) seems the following are meeting at Notcutts , 06:15 for 06:30 sharp , anyone else Baser999 , Trevor , Lee , Vicky [Y] Don't forget the radios......just in case someone gets left behind en-route ps thanx to everyone that pm'd Badboy their mobile.

Saab convertible [] Well at least if he takes the roof off he knows its not going to blow his hair about - Dunks will vouch for that as well []

Looks like a good day guys.....sadly clashes with Prodrive Open Day and got tickets for that.

.........and we had sooooooo much fun with me leading the way home from the pub. Was going to get some practice in on Saturday lol

Two nuns in the bath.........."where's the soap?" "So it does" replies the second nun Well, no one said they had to be new jokes.

At work and at this stage unlikely to be able to get the night off. I've got the club football and frisbee here which I'll pass on beforehand [Y]

Blue........................best colour [Y] Welcome to Kent Scoobies

Thanks Deas

For whatever reason my car has always had 2 different sets of locking wheel nuts per wheel. Fine from a security aspect, but they need two different sizes of socket to get them off which is tiresome and I'm dreading ever having to remove a wheel at night in the dark ! Looking at changing them now and McGard Ultras got a very good review in Autoexpress recently coming out top of half a dozen sets they tested. Anyone here got them fitted? They retail at £34:99 through Exclusivetuning unless there's anyone else that'll do them with the SIDC discount.

Didn't get my figures through until about the Wednesday

Last time we went, someone posted up a definitive list, think it was Sheepie or Markie ? Its my understanding you MUST have full driving licence particulars - thats the paper bit and not just the licence you carry in your wallet; full car documents - registration particulars, insurance, mot; headlight convertors, spare bulbs and warning triangle. Other items are recommended, namely, 1st aid kit, hi-vis vests, fire extinguisher - provided we have a fair spread of these recommended items amongst us we should get by. No doubt someone will update or correct this list.

06:15 meet on a weekend ???? whoever suggested a trip to France and getting such an early train [:$] lol

It's 3 o'clock Monday morning and I'm at work and it seems I'm the only SIDC member left signed in to the site although there's 80 guests on-line - is there a party somewhere out there ?

French lessons in the lunch hour........................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm []

10 booked - think thats a couple more than last year [Y] I have prepared a summary of the proposed route and will let everyone have a copy when we meet next week. In advance of this, just in case anyone wants to have a look at a map or set up their satnav, the route is as follows: Leave shuttle terminal and pick up A16 s/bound towards Boulogne then p/up N1 through Hesdin l'Abbe, Samer, Montreuil, Wailly-Beaucamp, Nempont St Firmin, Vron and Nouvion en-Ponthieu before arriving in Abbeville. Return via Pont le Grand, Noyelles-sur-mer then p/up D940 towards Le Crotoy, Rue, Quend, Waben, Groffliers, Berck, Merlimont, Cucq, Trepied (bypassing Le Touquet) and Etaples then on to Dannes and St Etienne-au-mont which is just south of Boulogne. Continue on D940 up the coast via Wimereux, Wissant to the Shuttle terminal. We need to check in for the outward journey at 07:20 so should be aiming to leave Notcutts no later than 06:30 to allow time for grabbing a coffee/papers/euros etc. Apart from Sheepie (who's had to get the 07:20 train and Badboy Baza who's going to be running late) are we all meeting at Notcutts or at the terminal? Please don't forget radios and all your car and personal papers that are needed for the day. Has anyone else pm'd their mobile phone number to Badboy Baza - have given him mine and Tanias but had trouble with my phone in France last weekend and he'll need to be able to contact us over there as he and his lady are catching a later train and intending to meet us at Abbeville or en route. Thank you.

Did you order the extra bit for the middle to allow for the cut-and-shut lol Sorry, no more car jokes at Jamies expense

Could have been worse Lee, you might have gone by train and still been stuck in 6 foot of water in the Midlands

Baz69 going past my house at 09:30 and back again at 09:45..........noisey boy. No work today then Baz []

Welcome Deas.............as you'll have gathered by now some of the others on here are mad mad mad mad mad []
