Don't bother. With the current regs leaving the UK you'll jst have to check most of it or dump it.Originally posted by mcquiggdMy cunning plan is to turn up at the airport wearing five pairs of jeans, six shirts and carrying 10kg worth of hard drives / cabling as carry on luggage, my 3 PDAs in my heavy overcoat, and the PC in the Big Black Baggage Thing with duvet and pilows wrapped around it. Oh and the 19" widescreen TFT will be my 'laptop'...

Just remembered, if you're sending a car or a motorbike on a trailer or in a van, and going through France, do remember to give the driver the keys and the papers otherwise you'll find yourself having to send the van to france again to recover a vehicle that has been impounded and then lost by the french plod, gained a few 1000 km, some unexplainable accident damage and had the tool kit and spare tire knicked.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

It wouldn't get me very far as I don't drive. I don't fancy pushing it either...
Edit - I mean the car of course, not the ferry....Last edited by mcquiggd; 20 February 2007, 13:50.Vieze Oude Man
