Waynio Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 all you have to do is make sure your insurance company know your going away on holiday with your vehicle and give them the dates of your travel and you will be ok, OR sometimes you get with insurance "FREE driving abroad" kind of thing. so you may get lucky (i think mine is like this) you get like 2/3weeks FREE abroad travel. its weird but i know mine has it. cos they think when you go abroad the cheapness of flights and stuff you wouldnt use your car. Andrew T im sure we will be able to sort something out while at the Koxx Kamp if your struggling to get back from france to england. il have a word with bucky tonight. as im sure i can sort something out with him about getting there. all depends if he can get through customs with his van full of people or weather he will get held back or something. cos if he does he needs to use a car. there is a slight possibility that if i lend him my car (dependant on insurance prices) he may be able to have space. as i know i need to take 3/4 people with me and i could easy get that in the car and have 2 spare seats int van ALTHO i dont know weather they would let a dodgy american back into our GREAT british country hehe. LMAO!!!! i rekon we should try smuggle you back into england that would be way more fun Waynio.............................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Do you have to have anything special to drive abroad/in France? I thought you had to have had a UK license for 3 years or something?Thats only if you are renting a car, if you have a full licence in england you can drive in france no problem, Insurance is a bit extra but not much, although many already have it on the policy as an excuse to make it more expensive when many people don't even know it's there.The level of competition is quite silly really, Master/elite at koxx days is very hard harder than in england club comps and nationals I think even then Kenny finished on 1 and vince on 2, expert is harder than in the UK too.So me and dave will be going in my spaceship so far, porter who you going with as we will have a spare space.If anybody wants proper directions closer to the time or all the other info etc I should be able to help.Ferry is the cheapest, your looking at about £120 a car for the train and about £50 on the ferry so you have 4 people in your car it's pretty cheap, if you book early enough Im sure you can get it very cheap.Petrol isn't over priced and there are plenty of petrol stations, if you have never driven in France on the way down there in some areas you are aloud to do 80-90mph I can't remember exactly but it's faster than england although it was in Kph, it's just when you hit Outskirts of Paris it could be murder, it was for us on the way back although we where riding in paris and took about 1.5 to get out of the city, insane, the driving is crazy, I know my way about the city a bit now though Phil.

KOXX-UK Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 We’ve received a number of e-mails, mostly from forum users, asking for more details about KOXX DAYS 2006. As soon as I get a reply to my questions from the factory I’ll post with further details. As yet it’s not clear what’s going on during the days preceding the competition.Fred.

Think we only went for 3 days last time...Was worth it for them 3 days though,To many good things happened to type out really....Waiting about an hour for a pizza was even a laugh...Big group of us listening to the beach boys or somethings like that...Jack meek i think it was was surfing to it anyways.....Wayne near run over a hitch hiker on purpose aswell in my car that was amusing....The barbeques we made were dissapointing though..Good times,good stuff....You dont need accomadation just get a sleeping bag and sleep round the fire like wayne did...Wake up in the morning bit of foreign cereal and abit of foreign beer...Its top drawer....Fred's borat impressions " My wife She Is So Nicccccccccceeeeeeeeee"Shit hot venue...Shit Hot People...Get youselfs goneLee Edited January 5, 2006 by Lee_Buchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 LMAO!!!!buchanon lives!!!! god aint heard from you in ages lad.like lee says there was soooooooooo many good memories from 2005 that 2006 will live upto expectations before i even get there.Bucky yes this trip WILL be better than the roadtrip!!!! big time. it was so maazing last year and im deffinatly going for the full week this year.hope loads a people can make it.just asking the likes of phil williams, dodgy davetrials sexy mike, fatmike, etc etc who went last year people will understand the attitude of the koxx factory and the people who run and organise koxx days it IS one of the best events of the calendar yearAND NO you do not have to ride a koxx bike, you can ride what you want, its just called "Koxx days" as its organised and advertises one of the biggest and well known trials companies in the world.Waynio........................

Brian Bleech Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 me und tim were talking about to ze koxx dayz last night, gotta sort out money though!can i ride my 24" there? or will i be told to piss off mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 you will be able to ride non comp i would have said mike, its nothing "STUPIDLY" serious any way, to me koxx days was a great introduction of new people and to see how well received trials was in other countries and it totally blew me away!!!! the amount of people there is amazing, the way that EVERYONE gets along is stupid, if anything i would love to spend a week maybe more at the koxx factory just away from work and away from england just to get an idea of how kool bike companies are and what goes on behind the scenes. but koxx days is something to me that if i miss i wont class 2006 as being a good or great year in my book, to me its a MUST injured or non injured i will be at koxx days.Waynio...............................lets get a count down timer on shall we Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 matt im going to go for the full week. so probably go over to france sunday PM get down to dover at midnight or sumit and then go/drive through france through the night. i think it will be quieter and hopefully less traffic and less french CRAP drivers to crash in to me Waynio...........................
