Obviously not all of us members have cars on the road at the moment and not all of us have the cash to take our beloved on such a jaunt. Also some members might want to go but cant afford to shoulder all the costs themselves and have no passenger to take...Thats not to say that you might not still want to join in with a legendary roadtrip and pissup.
I suggest a passenger and drivers pool.
Members who want to come but have no car can pay a proportion of the fixed costs and get a ride. They can then move from car to car and get a really great experience of the whole trip. Members wanting to share the costs of taking their car over then get help toward the cost of the trip and a chance to meet lots of members as we drive along.
I suggest the cost is a fixed price worked out from the average costs incured by the driver pool. We can all post our crossing costs and work out the average fuel going to be used and come to a figure easy enough. This money is then shared out between drivers who sign onto the scheme to help them out with the pocket damage.
We can work out who lives where and who can get picked up etc and those costs can be worked out there and then (driver makes 50 miles detour to pick up passenger on the way to the ferry = £15 fuel or something) but i would want all the pool money to be sent through paypal and shared the same.
i would suggest we only put two people in each lude (driver/passenger)....we all know thats how many it was built for. If we have more passengers willing to pay than direct spaces we will work it out when we get there.
So first, do you think this is a good idea?
Second, write your name down if you want to be in either pool and we will see if this has wings to fly.
