As I found the fares for renting a car low, I will this year learn how to drive on the wrong side of the road *sigh*.

I will have a car at the size of a medium sized pumpkin, but it should have 4 seats. This opens for bringing some dutch ppl to Stanstead on Sunday. My plane will lift off at 13:45. Soo.. Ice Hawk, Melli and Hubbah *might* fit in.

I am leaving on Fri afternoon. Aronud 5 pm (aka the traffic jam hour) I live in north London and have space for up to 2 people (and equip) in my car.

Gortex is there any chance you could drop off Drazilla too along with Vargen on the Sunday?

Looks like I will need help at Heathrow too, is anyone available to help on the Thursday? I can take 4 max (they're not exactly small chaps), so if another car gets to LHR too then we can split 3 for me, 2 for you. Any volunteers?

I only got a small bag i can carry on my lap

no idea what the 2 others got.. maybe thats handy to know if we want to fit in your pumpkin sized car

TL I think there is a confusion or incorrect times on the main part of the post. Drazilla is on the same flight as Vargen as I understand it and getting into Gatwick at 10:15 on Thursday and not 14:25. I think this is the time of the flight he is getting from heathrow on the way back.

It would make sense for me to collect both Drazilla and Vargen at the same time from Gatwick but as mentioned I don't have a big car and will be traveling with Feezuki and PC gear. She might be bringing her laptop which will cut down on space and will check with her on that one. Put me down as the driver for this but I will point out fellas not to bring to much gear if it can be avoided as I can see you having it on your lap for most of the way.

Like wise I can travel home on Sunday via Heathrow if that will help with the same people in car.

I copied & pasted and forgot to edit the time, it should indeed be the same as Vargen (as posted above). OP corrected.

Gortex is currently down to collect Vargen on Thursday morning. It would make sense for only person to make the trip, so can I ask that you liaise with him to see what is best, particularly if you already have Feez onboard.

Once you confirm who is picking up whom I can edit the OP to reflect who will actually be doing the pickup! Thanks

I'm still looking for LHR help:

Doesn't it depend on how many stuff you bring? :whistle:

Good point........ me plus one then

Or, I can adjust the amount I bring based on who needs a lift, I don't mind sacrificing some room for the greater good!

Michelanio · September 11, 2012, 11:04:50 PM

My flight will arrive on Stansted at 10:55 on friday (if on time ofc

) and my flight home will leave at 17:20 from Stansted. anyone able to drive by for a lift? (mostly on the way home can get the train to march)

ayla · September 12, 2012, 11:59:03 AM

I'm coming from Worcester so if anyone needs a lift let me know

Gortex · September 18, 2012, 12:12:01 PM

Just to confirm I can easily pick up both Vargen and Drazilla from Gatwick on Thursday and then take them to Heathrow on Sunday. I also have now found out I have an extra seat available for the run to Heathrow on Sunday if this helps but that person will have to take care of the new toy I am purchasing from Lionheart that weekend.
