Ouch.

It never rains......
Skoda dealership out there want €1800 (£1200). Spoke to Mike @ IP - he is saying between £600 and £700. Could get AA to repatriate but they want to assess situation blah blah - so I might just go out with a trailer / truck and drag her back to IP.

Joy!

BUT.... bloody great weekend apart from that (even though I was only a spectator). Excellent fun til the Octy died. Great people as well. My thanks to WrightyRS for organising the whole bash and sanity checking me when the Octy carked it, his mate Ross for nearly killing me with laughter in the bar Sunday night and, especially, Andy_CCR and his mate Martin for bringing us back, feeding us country slices, keeping us laughing and the free Gecko!

WrightyRS · 23-08-2006, 12:33

Sean,

sorry to hear its turned out to be worst than we thought, but glad you had a great time.

Get the AA to repatriate it, and get them to deliver it to Mike.
You've paid your money for a service provided by them so use it.

Also see you soon for a beer.

Loz · 23-08-2006, 12:40

Am now sat at work, absolutely gutted that I'm back here

I saw the signs for Blackpool yesterday and my heart sank. I wanna go back

Was good to meet a few more people, and I'd like to thank Roo and Lee for entertaining me pretty much the whole time, between you you're hilarious!! "guns don't kill people, wappers do!" haha!!

thanks for organising it Alex, it was ace!

WrightyRS · 23-08-2006, 12:52

Well all i can say is thanks for all coming along.

I am very pleased that all went well and everyone enjoyed themselves, i'm sure its a weekend most of you will not forget as it was your first trip there, like loosing your virginity i guess, never forget the first one/time.

If and i'm sure this will be the case that a trip will be organised for next year then i don't mind doing the deed.
I would do everything as i did this year and stay at the same place but maybe a different weekend which may mean taking a couple of other days off work so the place is a bit quieter.
But we'll see nearer the time.

Although they got stuck because of the tunnel and didn't get home until 3am(to Winchester area).

I think the AA are going to be flying him out to collect it.

What ?? Why didn´t you call me ??

WrightyRS · 23-08-2006, 12:59

Carsten,

we didn't find out until we got back to Centre Parcs and Sean had called the AA/ADAC by then and they were on there way out to him.

They then decided it needed looking at so it got collected on Monday morning.

Shifty · 23-08-2006, 13:10

Lots of photos from the weekend are appearing now, I'll post links as i find them.

I'm talking with the AA mate, that is the preferred option. They have to assess the current market value etc. As she cost £8k in January it shouldn't be a problem. Time to recovery is the key issue for me - they've promised it shouldn't take too long, we'll see!

Carsten, thanks for the offer - as said it was all too late by the time we found out.

Sean

Lets hope its not to long then,

if you need any help with anything just let me know.
