Waynio Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 andrew i take it your question was in the middle section of my bit????this bit:John you need to go on to the koxx site and the easiest way is to "pay INDIVIDUALLY" pay for each days camping ETCETC. its simpler im going to do mine tonight.iv been well struggling to do it, iv been e-mailing P-J @ koxx and he just said to pay for what you are doing, but at mo there is no "add more items" its like you can only add one so i just thought it would be easiest to tell everyone to book each day and item individually.Waynio...........................i think that must have been your question sorry i didnt answer it earlier andrew my bad. hehe altho i might not have seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellingtj Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I've done the drive to Buthiers a few times and it's quite easy so I would recommend it. What Wayne says is true about things to do to the car. I never got caught speeding but the French police aren't tolerant of foreign drivers so best to keep it down - it's 80mph on the autoroutes in the dry so that's fast enough. But note people the ferry can be expensive if you don't book early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechink Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 you dont have to be 18 to drive in france. i think its at the insurance's desgreation <sp>i just rung up direct line and i got a green card which cost me £10.50 but i opted for the breakdown cover which costs 40 quid but well worth it.im 17 at the moment. im 18 in june and the insurance was fine.simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerdude2006fr Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 The french police are actually not too bad with speeding, in most cases they will do you an on the spot 90€ fine instead of handing out points on licences ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I can't believe it's only like 4 weeks till we go, I've been so busy planning other things (my trip to Slovenia in may ), it's just crept up on me!Wayne, I've got the order form, done, and it's just 7 nights camping, at €12 a night, + the comp entry etc, but it simply says:"after having filled this form ,please kindly send to us by mail.This form registration must be send to us with paiment at - address..." So do we email the form, or send it to the address? Also, how do we pay? Cheque? Do you know who to make it payable to if it's only cheque, or is there some sort of online thing we can do?Can wait for Jack Meek to get back so we can start planning the ferry and stuff. I think we left it to like 4 days in advance last year. Also, don't be surprised if you get pulled over at the toll booths on the French motorways, they're often policed, and always love pulling foreigners! When they stopped us last year they immediately said, "Are you on any drugs, narcotics?" And searched the whole car, was a complete palava when they found the lump of tar in Goddards pocket! Can't wait.Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 mike go on to the "peppl" site and just pay for each day individually, pay on credit card etc etc. if you go to the bank and have a cheque converted............it will cost you a fortune. will be like £30-40 to convert ANY cheque. iv tried it before.Waynio...............iv literally just booked all my shit. n im all sorted. so easiest thing mike seriously even though it takes like 10/15mins is just to use the PEPPL site and the credit card payment facility. it will be much easier.if anyone needs any help or owt let me know PM or e-mail me and il help you sort it make it quick too only 200 spaces in comp and 200 spaces camping!!!!! Koxx days 2006 is going to be something to remember!!!! i can feel it."thechink" iv PM'd you and hopefully you will be able to follow me down n stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 BUMPAAAAAAAAAAAA"thechink" and "sexymike" you've got PM's bout my ferry and stuff so we can convoy down together lyk.ALSO if anyone else is going? mike? do you have room in your car for another person? willing to pay fuel etc etc.Waynio...............................PS has anyone actually booked anything yet? camping etc etc.IF you havent and you want to, like i did, book each day individually FOR example IF your going as a group GET 1 person to book it for everyone, it will save time transactions and effort TRUST me!!! lol. took me about 15minutes. it would take EACH individual person that to book each for themselves AND you need a credit card. if you have any problems or wish me to help or do it for you, let me know and il do it over MSN or summit.im all booked and ready to gooooooooooooooooooooooo, cant wait bout 4weeks. ow ow owwwwwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offers there if you or anyone else wants it. ??? As frankly ill be heading over on my own otherwise which sucks a bit. im going in My Audi A4 Tdi Estate, loads of room and cheap on fuel too.ANY TAKERS?? ALSO- Is anyone going over on the friday? if so, can you let me know what ferry your gonna be on so i can book it n we can all meet up and get pissed on the way over. Merci !
