Reading on there you can only drive 250 miles with that then they charge you 16p per mile!
RE: Trailer required - France - bigcheez2k3 - 13-04-2013
Would get raped on the mileage allowance on that.
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
I can get around that with my business links to them. I hope.
RE: Trailer required - France - Dum-Dum - 13-04-2013
How quick is it possible to get a passport cos after 7am tomorrow Im off work till the camping meet
RE: Trailer required - France - Danny2009 - 13-04-2013
Knew I should have renewed my passport! I would have just bought a cheap truck and drove over.
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
Weeks unless you walk in and get one from London. And even then it's normally days.
RE: Trailer required - France - Niall - 13-04-2013
Chris have you had one before? If so, next day but you pay big time for it!
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
Rent of a trailer, euro star return, 1200+ miles of traveling.
And a bit of a thankyou for whoever does it, surely it's cheaper to get a dodgy Frenchman to do it.
RE: Trailer required - France - Dum-Dum - 13-04-2013
I have one before but i was only about 14 when i got it, don't know if that makes a difference.
How long will it take if i walk in to the embassy first thing tomorrow morning.
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
Not sure phone and ask.
Sometimes it's same day, but you pay for it, but mostly it takes a while.
RE: Trailer required - France - Toms306 - 13-04-2013
Tomorow's Sunday though, do they work weekends?
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
I doubt it most are closed bar emergency on the weekend.
RE: Trailer required - France - Bengley - 13-04-2013
Okay guys, I can do this. I have no commitments, I have money to get there, and I have a passport. Completely serious, I will drive to Lyon now, as long as someone can cover ferry expenses and some fuel costs. I have a reliable car too so will have no issues in that sense.
07760636264
Ring or text me and I can be on a ferry this evening.
RE: Trailer required - France - Dum-Dum - 13-04-2013
have they tried french ebay for a recovery truck?

RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
Ben they need to be recovered on a truck I think.
RE: Trailer required - France - Niall - 13-04-2013
Could try and get a hdi head and drive that over to them?
Trailer required - France - Alee83 - 13-04-2013
Or even just the rocker rollers...
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
Yea but what if it does not work, waste of money and time.
RE: Trailer required - France - Bengley - 13-04-2013
If anyone can get all the parts they need, I can pick them up tonight and set off for Lyon. I love an adventure and I've wanted to go to france for a nice drive for a while
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
Roads are pretty fun over there lol.
RE: Trailer required - France - Toms306 - 13-04-2013
As said I've got a complete head here in Ipswich. Not sure if theres anything else they need? It's not really on the way from you to Dover though.
RE: Trailer required - France - 1616six - 13-04-2013
You can hire a beaver tail for under £100 and drive it on a car license. Did it a month or so ago when I bought the blaze '6. I'd do it but I'm in Norfolk so you're looking at £80 in diesel to just get to Dover..

Can you meet me somewhere more south? Anywhere in Essex maybe? I can pick up from there... Chelmsford? Somewhere on the A12?
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
You really need to check if the guys in France want this before you make plans.
RE: Trailer required - France - Toms306 - 13-04-2013
I'm afraid not, A12/A14 junction is as far as I can tbh.

of course, I'm not going anywhere until I have the go ahead, but working stuff out doesn't hurt
RE: Trailer required - France - Pompey306mark - 13-04-2013
I think unless they getting running, they would prefer someone with a trailer.
Good luck though guys.

I could do that I guess...
RE: Trailer required - France - Toms306 - 13-04-2013
Well if they want it and you're willing to collect (and can't find a more local one) then you're more than welcome to come and get it.
