Just a thought chaps.....(and esses too!)

We could always reschedule the mission to June time and take in LeMans as well as a covert op to Amsterdam and do the ring..... a lot to do on 1 trip but WHAT A TRIP....

Ferry over wed/thurs, 1/2 nights Amsterdam to keep the LordHarding satisfied!!!!!:norty:, LE MANS for the weekend, The ring on the Monday ferry back on the Tuesday all for 3 possibly 4 days of holiday entitlement?

Paul

Paul,

Ferries from Newcastle seem to be on the expensive side. Where were you planning to travel from?

Martin

Thats good eating:D

One of the worst breakfats I've had, all supplied by Safeway next to CD Shambles:p consisted of a microwave kebab, a prune yoghurt:freak3: and a doughnut with sprinkles.

Other daft eating challenges included 6 cheeseburgers with a portion of fries, diet coke of course :p and 16 sausages with hashbrowns and peas.

Glad to say I don't eat that now and lost 2 1/2 stone for it:D

Hadn't costed anything... just an idea to throw to the lions at this point.

No matter when we go I doubt there will be much difference in overall cost...

Just done some digging...

The cheapest overnight ferry taking us over Le Mans weekend appears to be Newcastle to Ijmuden and back - the quote I got for car & 1 person with cabin = £224. Hull-Rotterdam was more expensive. Advantage to this is no drive in UK and arrive fresh in the AM on the continent and very near to Amsterdam so minimal fuel use over there.

Dover calais was £98 return but a 343 mile drive to get there so there and back is 2 tanks of fuel (for me on a motorway run) so another £90. Also this puts us miles away from where we want to be so extra fuel cost there which will almost certainly take us beyond the cost of N/castle-Ijmuden.

Don't know about costs at Le Mans but additional costs (except fuel) should be minimal, i.e. food, beer and camping.

Mileage:

Ijmunden - Amsterdam = 15m
Amsterdam - Le Mans = 439m
Le Mans - Nurburgring = 436m
Nurburgring - Ijmunden = 233m

Total = 1123m !!!!!!!!

A lot of this will be motorway miles so you need to work out what you will use based on experience of your own car but for me that equates to approx 4 tank fulls @ £45ish so £180 in juice.

Total cost:

Ferry = £224
Fuel = £180
Camping = £40 (guess)
Food/beer = £100 (guess)

Total = £544!!!!!!! plus admission to the track at Le Mans

Ferry prices for other times of year not that different as june is in school term anyway so if we just did the ring the cost would drop by something like £102 in fuel savings as the mileage to Nurburgring and back from Ijmunden via Amsterdam is only 460m. Apart from that everything else would stay the same and still more cost effective to do the overnight than drive to Dover!

Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul

have you ever ate a choclate buiscut like a straw?

get a penguin, bite both ends off, then dunk into a fresh cuppa and suck away :D

the carwash record is 4 buiscuits in the mouth at once.
i managed 3 and felt sick, ian managed 4 and went white and pasty faced, kept laughing at me because he knew i couldnt do 5 :eek: i keep telling him he shouldnt worry about me doing 5, and he should concentrate on himself doing 6 once i managed to beat 5, buts its going to be hard work to magae 5 :(

i think the trick is going to be, nothing to eat all day till late afternoon and then do 5 at once lol, im dreading it :eek:

i once was eating a muller rice and said i could easy eat 20 of them :rolleyes: so i had to eat as many as i could, managed 6 and nearly fell over

Paul,

Many thanks for all your hard work. No doubt we will be hearing from Lord Harding on the matter.

Mickey - Were the Penguin biscuits whole?

Martin

Ever tried it with a King Size Twix, now thats lovely with a Latte

Paul

Are we going for a play at the Ring????????

Paul

That was the original suggestion but thought it could be made even more interesting for relatively little extra cost?? :D I just wanna be there when 5/10/20 Scoobs all pull on to the ferry together!!!

Paul

STIPaul,

Have you ever tried it with a mars bar?????????

A trip to the Nurbergring was suggested as a possible summer activity with a 'sleep over' in Amsterdam on the way.

Would you be up for that?

Martin

I don't know how Mick and Maryanne managed it you know...

When I tried it with a a very x girlfriend it just melted and got VERY messy.... :norty: (Thiers must have been frozen! :D )

Paul

A Kingsize Marsbar, but you have to "eat" quite quickly.
the cleaning up bit is even more interesting :norty: :norty: :norty: no hands allowed!!!!!!!! :notworthy

Paul

Only a recent 'tagger alonger' but Tyne Tees Scoobies organised by Ninnybobs hold monthly meetings (1st tues of the month) up near Chester-le-Street and we recently held our 1st Teesside Meet which started off at Triple six in Middlesbrough.

BTW.... Nice horse... ;)

Paul

pmsl, so you been checking up on me eh? :D

Nice to put a face to a thread..... with as many posts as you have and the fact that you were a girly there was a high probability that there would be a pic of you somewhere!

All you've got to do is look how much any new girl gets hounded on here until she posts a picture!

Paul

PS... Just for the record If I were so inclined to do so...(and 10 years younger) any comments of a flirtatious nature would be VERY positive.... :D

Vipa,

For Gods Sake man, think of your blood pressure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW I'm into horses (if you pardon the expression)

Martin

I've had a cake and a cup of tea and I've calmed down now....

Paul

So are we going to Amsterdam or what? :norty:
