DreamHack June 16th-19th

I'm Oric and I'm only going to Dreamhack to see Apollo, I don't care about seeing everyone at ATK and going on a motherfucking awesome road trip ;D

Your MPG will probably be less than what you expect with 4 people and their 4 heavy computers and sleeping stuff.

Also Piers, if we work it out to be about £400 each (inc dreamhack TICKET) then I'll probs go

EDIT: If I get another job before then I will definitely go as long as there is space for me in a car :)

it wont work out that cheap wiht the ticket.

And oric, how are you getting to / from each airport each time? if you consider jsut travel costs for us each im sure its about the same as you'll pay, but you wont have done anything recreational at all.

I realised this which is part f the reason i reduced it to 40mpg.

I would normally do about 53 with 2 people and stuff.

40 allows more stuff and some ragging..... althought i cam loking at a signinficantly less efficient car very soon.

Im looking at an audi RS6 most likely right now. 19mpg but on lpg will do teh equivalent of about 40, so would probably come to about 30mpg with the calculations in the above post.

Yes, because getting to Dreamhack relaxed, having not argued for 20 hours witth the people I'm sat in close proximity to and not dying of having something poking me in the side for 20 hours is really bad for you and exploring Sweden and it's many fine bars and people the night before you all get there with Marshy and (potentially) Cal isn't recreation...

The passive aggression and mad jell hate is palpable. As above - yes, flying with Marshy and (potentially) Calneon means I don't want to see anyone in ATK.

And sarcasm aside, I'm going to Dreamhack to experience a LAN which has a much different atmosphere and events schedule than the i-series, to take in a different country (Except for France/Belgium [Chaz, remembr 1 box, 1 bar, 1 gift :D] on a history trip for a couple days in a bus and 2 days on a bench in Germany watching my family ski whilst my leg was busted, I've never been to Europe) and to watch some of the worlds greatest SC2 players play it out for the Dreamhack title. Now, if my idea of 'fun' isn't to your taste, then get over yourself.

Also - £5 says at least two of the people get to Sweden and fucking hate the whole thing.

Aha just found out some of my friends from Norway are going :D

Booking summer holiday soon, so might have to just go with the cheapest option, but if the car isn't that much different then prob do that anyway :D

Thats 284 litres.

At a price of 1.49 / liter thats £423.16 for fuel.

Split between 3 (i cant see us getting more than 3 in a car with computers too) thats £141.

BUT then we have to pay toll charges too (some of which are per person), and i would like a little towards the service cost of doing that mileage from each (about £20 each).

So it would probably easily come to £200 just for use of the car + tolls.

Then if we want to do other things like amsterdam or nurburgring that will be another £20 or so each for a few laps or hatever u want to spend in amsterdam. Then we have food / spending.

I estimate it will be between £300-400 each EXCLUDING everything at dreamhack.

But bare in mind (oric) thats not just for travel and includes all transport both ways.

BUT - the fact is giels and I will both have petrol guzzling cars by then, tho I will be running on LPG most of the time, but that would cost slightly more for my car, and probably twice as much for fuel in Giels.

Effectively if we transport computers n stuff for others if we get a contribution from them then it would be less coz at the end of the day if we took 5 people it would b alot less but we can coz of taking extra stuff.

This is also assuming that im not in Florida (which incidentally is going to cost less than this for the most part xD), which I may well be as we are going in June for 2 weeks as that is the only time we can go.

Lol i cant afford to do the same

guyysss what about coaches if we had a coach with half of it being atk people it'll still be a fun road trip and might be fairly cheap ^^

probably true nick but i think they want to drive their cars for on the autobahn and nuremburg track :3

Plus I don't fancy putting my pc in luggage part under the coach tbh

Shotgun the boot of ezs car

true but but im sure there can be something arranged if not we can hijack the coach and then take it round the nuremburg :D
and wait you guys are planning to drive to southish germany and round to Sweden by no boat from Denmark to Sweden? D:
