Not prepared....

[Garlick]

My tickets arrived today

However, despite being ready mentally, i'm far from being ready. My car isn't even here yet and neither are my vinyls.

I have a tent and, err, that's it. Surely i'm not the only one who has been telling anyone who'll listen about the great time i'm going to have but has done feck all about getting ready for it.

Now, where did I leave my passport?

[Stu R]

You're one step ahead of me, you've got a tent

I'll leave it till the night before, tesco is open round the clock, and I work best under pressure.

Never was one for organising stuff

[oggs]

My bike is at the dealer and wont be ready till sat then I have a few days to run it in before its first service on Wednesday

I need to check my tent, i've not used it since PF 05

All you really need is the tickets, you can buy almost everthing else at the Carrefour!

I managed to get the big PH stickers on the doors, but totally buggered up the backwards printed one for the bonnet!
It hit the bin with a few choice words!

Make sure you check it, when we unpacked RandleMarcus' last year at Donnington we found that he only had the outer bit left

Ah, the very same chap who ended up sharing a whole load of our stuff at lm a few years back when his mates forgot to pack his tent, sleeping bag, clothes and so on in the backup car!

Welcome to my world, 2008.

Nearly needed a defibularoator (major SP there) after that debarcle. Found it the pocket of a pair of shorts... strange how these things are always in the last place you look

Garlick, just bung everything in the car and get yer boot down. As long as you've got your ticket and a few clean pairs of undies then you'll be fine

Yeah definately check it...checked mine before going last year and there was a rip in the groundsheet and one of the poles had splintered!!

You slumming it then Oggs....no luxurious motorhome this year?

[TonyHetherington]

I have a theory about travelling.

All you need is your passport and a wallet. EVERYTHING else is buyable or blaggable.

[LeoZwalf]

Very right Tony, as long as you can get your body there, the rest will follow.

[Garlick]

I've found my passport and it runs out in 8 months....a bit too close for comfort that!

I'm planning on heading to Tesco to buy 'Value' everything - towels, airbed etc and then binning it all before heading home

Just bringing it as a in case

My tickets arrived yesterday, and no I'm hardly organised either - At least I have a tent, car and vinyls - Seems like a hueg amount compared to some

Hope to meet some of you there!

[AndyWoodall]

I'm one for loving to plan, so other than the disposable BBQ's everything is ready to go in the car. Stickers arrived today which are one of the last things.

On the other hand, as others have said, all you need is yourself, money, passport and car and you're away.

Pah, the Carrefour in LeMans is all you need

[MustangGT-H]

I am fitting stickers the day that I leave. Shopping night before. Stop making a fuss about everything, bring a wad of cash, car, tent and a smile - and you're good to go sonny.

[Chrisgr31]

Checked the tent and documents at the weekend. Must check the airbed etc!

I think you'll be fine. If it was within 6 months then they may have a word.

Bought my tent on the way there last year.
Got one of my fleet half stickered=up, but it may have terminal engine failure
Trouble now is the other 2 cars are dark coloured and all the vinyl is black!!
