dollywobbler Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Have just realised that 23rd is far from ideal. You know, the one that's leading. Bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Amy turned round to me last night and said she can book holiday easily that far in advance, so actually, I think I'm roughly OK for any of the dates above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi paul Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I am ok for any. Just depends on babysitter. Would have to stay overnight. Which isn't a bad thing. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatsharris Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I'll look to make it, I've got courses around the last two set of dates so they'll be more difficult but still possible. Just got to choose whether to take the 93 or the Prelude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think a double mattress would fit in the back of the Saab...I've had a double airbed blown up nicely in the laguna latch and zx hatch before at shitefests. It works well because it blows up into the contours of the interior and wedges itself in. However then you fumble around for your phone at twat o'clock in the morning and pop the stopper out and loose half the air before you can refit it. And then can't blow the thing back up as you'll wake half the forum! louiepj, davehedgehog31 and mat_the_cat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think a double mattress would fit in the back of the Saab...I've blown up a double size air bed in the boot using the 12v socket in the rear. We were visiting family and didn't realise that the only pump we'd packed was a car one until we got there. We didn't look like twats in the car park at all... davehedgehog31, Talbot, beko1987 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabnut Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Just realised the 14-16th is Le Mans 24 hour weekend so cannot do that. The weekends either side would be good, in which case I would probably bring the Cobra Ghosty and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 your other half in the Xantia, you in the camper, and ill trail behind in the invacar? Sadly he's off the road for at least a year given the fallout from his stroke.  Realistically likely to be between the van of (assuming I get it roadworthy) the Invacar. Van most likely if I'm going to be staying somewhere given how stressful I tend to find staying away unless it's somewhere I know. I don't do tents...played that game in my youth and decided it wasn't for me!

LightBulbFun Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 from what I understand due to the gearbox setup your not supposed to tow an invacar (glad to see im not the only one doesn't do camping/tents, I went camping once when i was smaller, ended up freezing my tits off at 3AM in my dads car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Tent? Pah. I'm about 6" and I sleep comfortably on back seats, give me a camping mat, a pillow and some blankets/a sleeping bag, and I'm grand. My only quandary will be Civic/416. Now I have an ideal two car do-it-all garage I don't see myself changing cars any time soon - and I'm not sure which I'd take, as neither has an upside. Probably the Civic as the space inside is a bit more flexible having folding seats.
