Re: Petrol in France and Belgium

can I suggest, people get on the ferry with a full tank, so that, when we get off we can make the same distance before needing fuel, which will reduce the number of petrol stops and safe a lot of time.

Ryanair Friday 13th midday and returning Sunday morning 11:00 - However there is An Aer lingus flight back from Brussels on Sunday evening - shop around as the flight sales are on and with the rail network across Europe maybe there are other airports that could suite your time off.

Re: September Monthly Meeting

Killian,

There doesn't seem to be much interest in this post, Lucan must be still too far outside the M50 for the Dubs.

I'll be there. anyone else willing to commit?

I also have my minis covered with Autoline a 62,78 and 98, but it is a shared 5,000 limit across them.
Autoline is the broker the policy is underwritten by Allizance, I also confirmed with them that the breakdown covers both RoI and UK.

Re: RSA consultation period on testing vintage vehicles

I think the statistics on the number of accidents involving NCT excempt cars is key peice of missing data here, why go through all the trouble, if it is not a problem in the first place. Personally I know my driving style is different when driving my 1962 Mini compared to driving my 1998.
