I assume you have a stand? I tried to read back, but 73 pages of 10 comments per page is a bit much to search through.
Or are you all just going as a visitor with the car parked on the parking-lot?

Any Dutchies on here that know if another group/forum from NL is coming?

I don't really require my car to be on the show, but I wouldn't really say no to it either lol .

Yes at least 10 Dutchies will come, including me and my wife, and yes definately we will stay with the car on the club site in Boxtel.

Sweet! . Mine isn't perfect yet, still heaps of jobs to do to make it better. But she would look right between all those English beauties.
Now the next question that pops in my head, if I get there at 12, do I still need to buy a ticket? I take it I'll have to mention at the gate that I come for the 75 and ZT Club .

andy

Sorry to hear that Andy. Hope everything will become ok. Pity really,it will be a trip to remember.

Just tried to get breakdown cover to day for European travel on my Greenflag policy. They don't cover cars over 16 yr old. Have any members tried elsewhere to get cover?
With Andy pulling out of the trip, what other measures are in place should anyone have the mis-fortune of a breakdown whilst travelling in Holland, Belgium or France?:

I will watch this with interest as I’ve yet to sort out my breakdown insurance

[Rick-sta]

I've gone with the full comprehensive plus breakdown cover for european travel with RAC. Pricey at £65.43 for 4 days.

This covers all costs for getting your car back home to the UK in case of a breakdown. They'll also cover all costs getting the car to a local garage. They'll pay up to £1k towards labour costs if it can be repaired within 7 hours, or if it takes longer than 7 hours they'll cover accommodation costs and a hire car if needed.

Expensive, but rather pay that than go for a cheap cover that only gets you to a local garage and end up stuck there.

I to have to sort insurance out for my car. The Coop insurance , who I have been with for a number of years, also can not cover me anymore. By the way I cost them nothing over around5/6 years, at £109.00 a year. Nice little profit earner for them.I have found an insurance for the 5 days break, £55.00, and £140.00 for the year. Still looking.

Exactley the same as I have booked Rick.
So many companies will only cover cost's to the value of the vehicle.
Like you rather safe than sorry.
Cheers Ian
