Mongoose Hall

[Tankdriver]

Anyone know of a good was to come from the continent and get to the Mongoose Hall event?

 

[Tankdriver]

Never mind. Being able to make chack in would require an overnight stay, and I do not have the funds for that with the upcoming family trip to Scotland.

Well, maybe one of these days.

If you do not mind a long day, I would suggest driving there and back on the same day - I have done this for a convention in Germany. . .

That sounds like a Top Gear challenge.

Just don't forget to do it in a Veyron

 

[lastbesthope]

Bentley Continental GT surely, or a VW Phaeton if you need to carry more people.

Those may be more stylish but the Veyron is definitely Top Gear's style.

If you want to move a lot of people and toys, go American

Ah but we don't want to kill the world through global warming and don't want to kill our wallets with the petrol costs.

On a serious note, I don't think any car from any country matches the Buggati Veyron for raw power and speed.

On a serious note, I don't think any car from any country matches the Buggati Veyron for raw power and speed.

Lord save us from the global warming lunacy (I'm looking out the window at snow, thank you very much) I'll survive the additional one degree ;> As for travelling for gaming, I don't need speed so much as capacity for storage and power. Our wallets don't need to be quite so big as yours (though it's getting there)
For conventions, the "Battlestar" carrys books and lead for at least five or six games with room to spare.

When you have to pay $10.50 a gallon, let me know - that's roughly what we're paying in the UK.

As for global warming, we've already had 1.5 degrees Celcius and another 1-3 are pretty much inevitable in the next century. That's already having massive effects on the world and is the biggest threat to global health and economic productivity that we've ever seen.

Ummm, no. Probably best we leave this one alone. It's unlikely that either will convince the other.

Fair enough

I am really thinking this is not going to happen. The Mrs. needs the car that weekend and Train fairs make fuel prices seem reasonable.

 

[chainmailler]

Yeah the Veyron, pretty sweet, but it has a heafty price tag..... around 1,440,800 million dollars, or 1,127,210 million euros or 757,359 thousand pounds..... but seeing that only 5 were produced during 2005 your going to have a hard time finding one. Plus the car is just plane sweet, going 253 miles per hour, thats going the distance of soccer field every second, at that spped your gas tank will only last 15 minutes, but thats ok, your tires will only last 12...... :shock: but its all worth it when your car key looks like this....

Don't want to get into the is it happening/how bad will it be debate, doubt I would change anyone's mind in 1 post, but the main problem with global warming isn't that we'll feel hotter and can't go skiing, its the disruption to the global food supply. Just because you live in a cold climate doesn't mean you will be unaffected, its the changes including very importantly rainfall in the food producing parts of the world that will affect you. Your problems (however bad it may get) will have more to do with the weather in Iowa and Kansas than Colorado.

Don't forget to allow for the fact that our gallons are a different volume from US gallons as well.

Yeah. Well, "we" decided to not toss the matter about. The topic gets pretty heated. Pun intended.

Excellent point! (I'd forgotten that)

Make that US$8.40 per US gallon then

No, there'll be necktie parties before gas is allowed to get that high
