How long is the Journey from the french side of the Channel to the Damage please (Zeeburg). BY CAR
Also the nearest CS open to foreigners when you get into Holland.
Thanks

3-5 hours depending on traffic (i like sundays, no traffic, 100mph all the way) last time i drove in jan, i hit some of the worst gridlock ive ever seen on the antwerp ringroad, took over an hour to do 1mile, 1of the 1st border towns is breda but ive never been, stu1976 is the guy to ask about that

youll get to dam in 4 hours if you travel 100 mph the whole way maybe a bit less. and you will hit breda within 2 hours 40 ish.. and i would go for pax de boot. amnesia g13 is lovely or its just amnesia haze which i prefer but i love the white widow the best.. and my fav cabin at zeeburg is no.9..

if you go on weekends or afternoon your screwed so much traffic i suppose the earlier the better

100mph all the way?!?! eas up lewis hamilton amsterdams gonna be there still when ya get there! in the s15 i assume? thats gotta be one fun drive. reminds me of the old days doing roadtrips with my older brother in his rx-7 and his acura legend(not a sports car but we'd drive fast all the way and only stopped for blunts/joints every 35-40 miles or so)...good times.

Kermit, do you want a travel buddy?

Firstly 100mph your tripping, my missus little diesel would be lucky to get that downhill We are talking 70-80 in reality but wicked on fuel.
It would be a middle of the night kind of thing so hopefully traffic (I hate) should not be a problem.

@Boner, when i have it confirmed you are more than welcome to come along. Not sure of the dates but that 10 shop tour coming up is in my sights or around that time.

Oh and hold back on the laughter at the car as it is my Girlfriends, mine drinks the fuel to the point i hate driving it at the moment.

Thanks for the replys and cheers for that Stu it will be a deffo stop!!

No laughing off me mate, I have a 1.3 petrol car and it's stupidly thirtsy, my Mrs' 2 litre diesel has better fuel economy.

Give me a shout if you get some plans sorted so I can scrape some cash together, I can drive some of the journey as well if that helps.

No trust me it wont, it would fall to bits at that speed and i dont want to break it otherwise she will be using mine until its fixed. She crased the last one!!(Just got a dig in the ribs for that comment)

Anyway its in the pipeline and just needs me to cement the exact date of travel but i will be there sometime that week and hopefully bringing another ACD member.

Unexpected expenses (in other words something I forgot all about) has put a stop to me going, fuckity fuck.

That's a pity

Just me then, could be a mega boring ride but at least there is something at the end of the Tunnel

Anyone else not going but wants to let me know, you have until at least the 24th to decide.
