Today,realised have only a week to go, so applied for E111 card, takes minimum of 7working days!! applied for green card, takes minimum of 7 working days !! sent of for maps,takes minimum of 7 working days!! ah well, should I panic or have a Hamlet moment?

Green card??

What green card?

Ball's, what have I missed?

Nothing like leaving it to the last minute ......

Bet we'll all have something that causes a last minute panic.

AHHHH- sudden panic. Noel Dazely have told me that i have all i need for Euro driving BUT i havnt got an International Driving Permit.

Do i need or do i PANIC.

Anyone else with Noel Dazely Ins?

Ed

Pheww, after trawling the AA website i have stopped the panic. no IDP required. So i have the V5, Ins Doc, both parts of license, beam delectors and all the safety kit. Have i forgotten any vehicle/driving related paperwork and what is the Green Card- is that international Ins which Noel Dazely are telling me that i have?

Aye green cards are normally part of yer Ins cover.
If ye haiv a lookie at the rear of yer ins cert it should say covered abroad for 60 or so days.

I was begining to panic about my insurance.
I wanted to add Tim on just for the duration of the rally, 1st I was told it had to be withing 28 days of going away
Then 10 days

Then 7 days, grrrrr

Knackers to it, I just rang them and added him for the rest of the policy, which for some strange reason is cheaper than just putting him on for the 2 weeks?????????!!

Anyhoo, all the paperwork is together in my floder ready to go.

Wicked wills

It's only in the floder for a while, closer to the time I will put it all in a decent FOLDER

CREEP

I'm trying to remain nice and calm and save all my panic and general flapstations for next Friday


It's not working

Tonight I'm going to print every email and checklist when I get home and try and get myself in order. Fingers crossed when I get through the door the postman will have presented me with:

1) New insurance document with co-driver specifically named
2) Replacement paper part of my driving licence after the old one had a brief meeting with a lawnmower last autumn
3) A few more bits for the car
4) Coffee press for my JetBoil

Have done a dry-run on shoving all the boxes and my fridge in the car and it there's a fair bit of room left, so confident I can get all Iain's stuff in too. Still debating if I take waffle boards or not. Having done some sleuthing I think one or both of our European offroad days may be a bit muddy..... and I'm switching from MTRs to ATRs this weekend so they may come in handy

I need to remember to leave room for the oztent on the roof. 200cm x 45cm x 15cm - not a problem I suspect, but need to ensure the waffles and Oz don't get in the way of me folding the antenna down for ferry etc.

I need to decide if I take one spare tyre or two. If two, one is probably going to have to go on the roof and that makes the waffle/oztent/antenna question a little more complicated. Leaning towards one spare I think.

Camera and PMRs (great for spotting when offroad). Must remember to pile up the batteries.

Netbook. Got to stick some "tunes" on there to counter the noise from my co driver's iPod collection and upload centrafuse so it's easy to use on the move. And by "some" tunes I mean about 60 hours of rrrrrrrRRRRRRROCK! Oh, and I need to see if I can get the DVB tuner working so I can charge people (funds to H4H) to watch football on a 9" screen

Aren't getting off the Rig now until late tuesday 6 hr drive home. It's going to be manic

im having a panic also... with working over time getting the car sorted i seem to start work at 9 finish at 5:30 go home and work on the car till 12pm then do it all again the next day ! and its been like that for 2 weeks and also working weekends for extra fuel money and now exhausted and stressed

BUT i cant wait to get on this rally and relax and enjoy my self with my dad and best mate... and obviously all you guys aswell

Ditto - it's all going to be worth it

Absolutely!!! house move followed by 22 days offshore, ready for some fun
