We did walkie talkies last year. Fucked them off after 10 mins as they were useless at motorway speeds

As soon as we roll off the train we will stop immediatley at the petrol station that is inside the Eurotunnel terminal.
Then we'll stop at the South Side Carestel in Froyennes on the E42 so we can experience the pay per view toilets.

anyone seen the size of the boot on a s2000... Enough space for 2 bags and a pillow.
Please tell me someone is bringing tools.
Engine management light is back on my car again - I guess I'm going to have to replace the faulty part... LAME!
