Yep you should get yourself two breathalysers (dodgy spelling??!? ) You can't be fined for it yet but they will give you a bollocking if your pulled and dont have two in the car!!!

i know its a bit of a daft one but take smaller euro notes for the toll roads. as for stickers the sets you can buy off ebay for a few quid of ebay, they are circular with a lobe coming off them. Plus if your going in Switzerland you have to pay for road tax.

Blimey some of the advice is to take half a bleedin workshop with you! lol

Make sure you put a hi vis jacket on the rear parcel shelf - the cops can see it and are less likely to stop you.

GB sticker NOT required if you have GB number plates.

Warning triangle, et etc.

Really, anything else would be as if you were driving a long way in this country. Just use your brain. They have shops, phones, cash points and garages in europe! Its not like you're driving across a dessert or something!

There's nothing to driving in europe. Its the same as driving here but better and faster.

I was getting a little concerned as to where we were all going to sit!
My girlfriend speaks fluent French, German and Hungarian so if there are any mayor problems we can communicate without getting ripped off!

Will take all the essential long journey items and plenty of cash and hope for the best!
All the stuff needed already costs the price of one flight there!!!

With petrol prices today, and the fact that you've got nothing in the way of stuff you need, are you sure it's worth it?

It's going to cost over £600 in fuel alone for 3000 miles, plus the extra stuff, plus extra wear+tear on the car, etc.
