TomTom have failed me, 105 Euros to repair the tiny SD card door! I asked them to just send it back as I need it back on Friday the 7th for our trip..... No TomTom Rider!!!


So, ChrisG, any chance you could convert those files to Co-Pilot format?

(or does anyone have a spare TomTom Rider V2 or V3 with European maps I could borrow?)

is that where the suvenors think the world ends rotflmmfao.gif see you there about 4pm



My map just shows "here be dragons" north of there.

That's about 150 miles to the hotel. I'll probably aim for about 8ish at the hotel, so a little bit later than you lot.

What version of co-pilot? It looks like 6 & 7 take a slightly different file format than 8

anyway enough of the conspiracy theories, I'm seem to be struggling to build up excitement about this trip, hope i get firing on both cylinders when I set off

a beer or two in folkstone is bound to help

how much do I owe for the room?

and just to confirm - watford gap at 4.00pm, i will wait by the side of the fuel stop shop

Dave


Your gonna get a slap

Im so so excited about touring. And we will be the Senior Commanders over those puny 900's

Going to be Brill

And Paul, saw that Police 900, looked cooiO

Lets Go and enjoy

Sorry mate, didn't spot your offer, I've not got any broadband and I'm doing this on a tiny smartphone (I thought Virgin were bad, BT fecked things right up...)

I'm leaving at approximately 3am on Monday the 10th, where are you?

EDIT:

It took me so long to write my reply to ChrisG, Sidestand you replied while I was writing my reply to Chris, and I've just got back on now.

I didn't see your reply until a few minutes ago.

Enjoy your trip guys, the weather should be fine, we had around 30C yesterday in the Alps.

Btw a police 9er stopped beside me at a redlight yesterday but he was the kind with a very suspicious glance...
