I've got a pretty good insurance quote from MORIS

£458 for the Snetterton track day AND the Nurburgring trip the following week

I think this is pretty good for two trips and £45k of cover

I'll do you insurance for a tonne, no questions asked. .

Of course, the claims line goes straight through to the Samaritans.

Has anyone arranged to meet up somewhere en route down to the Eurotunnel yet. Be good if as many of us as possible could be on the same train carriages together as possible. Im coming from Chigwell - so maybe we could arrange a place to meet on the M20 - are there services on the M20??

No services on the M20 I don't think... I guess you'll be coming round on the M25 over the QE2 bridge?? Could meet both of you at the Dartford services ??

Guys - some of the Evo T boys are on the 08:20am crossing. We could get there earlier and try and join them? Or we could meet them at a services on route?

Tony - any news from your brother on the karting? Shall I buzz you tomorrow?

Carlos - we are ALL on the 08.50am tunnel crossing matey!!! Paul - the Channel Tunnel goes from Folkestone and not Dover, but i assume you were having a Carlos moment and know that and that was a typo!! I also totally agree with you that we have quite a few hours of convoy the other side of the water, its just i thought if "our" group at least met up en route to Folkestone then it would mean we were in the same train carriages etc. It really doesnt matter i suppose!!! I will definitely meet with Carlos at or near to my house and then head to Blackwall tunnel area to meet with Tony. We can either meet you en route or at the Tunnel check in - whatever is easiest i guess. At the end of the day we will all make the best laid plans and someone will be late, miss the meet point or something and put a huge spanner in the works anyway!!! Lets just make sure we all get to the Tunnel well in time for the check in - because the trains will NOT wait!!

Yup, sounds good. Will have to leave Blackwall Tunnel at 6:50 or so, to get to the Tunnel before 8am (will take us less than an hour, but just in case). So perhaps suggest 6:40 near the Blackwall Tunnel (I'll work out where) and that will give a few minutes leeway incase someone wakes up late (me!)
