davehedgehog31 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I should be there, but will need to confirm later this week if I can get the required holidays at work. Should really bring the 405 full of veg oil, but I can lie full length in the back of the Saab. The drawback being 4x the fuel costs. Decisions, decisions.

loserone Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Do the seats not fold down in the saloon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehedgehog31 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Nah, the back of the seat is fixed unfortunately. The C5 would be perfect, but hoping it will be off fleet by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Do what I plan to do and fold the front passenger seat right down and sleep across that. I'm also going to try and just remove the passenger seat and build a wooden box to fill the foot well to provide a platform but I doubt that will help too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pah! Home to Le Mans direct is 939 miles! I am planning on SF19, LM24, Sheffield (wedding) and Sledmere (rally) on 4 consecutive weekends so a month away from home. Now almost certain that th Cobra will not make it due to ongoing clutch issues, so tomorrow I start work on an alternative!

kirton Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Train from Crediton every hour at 25 to hour to Exeter with about 10 minute wait at Exeter for slow train to Paignton, or at same time to Barnstaple. Free parking at Crediton station but be there early as you have to go over the level crossing before the barriers drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
