thought a card license was compulsary now any way mate.......

i think will we need...

spare bulb kit,
warning triangle,
hi-vis vests per person in the car,
fire extinguisher,
first aid kit,
european ins cover,
european breakdown cover,
light's changing over for the opposite side of the road ( beam bender's )

hope that's all

EDIT: pre-facelift headlight's should have a switch to swop over the beam pattern, so i am told anyway.....

I got one of those triangle's from a pound shop. It will do the job. No point in spending loads of money on one from VX or halfrord's.

When folks pay a deposit for the trip, they will receive a run pack..

..

This will contain helpful hints from last year on what to carry in the car to cover all the legislation of the countrys we pass through, as well as driving tips and speed limit help..

a pink paper license is fine to take abroad, they are an EU qualifing licence, it's only the very old green licence that isn't valid within the EU..

and yes, headlights can be swapped over to the EU settings..this was done on the docks last year..
