DreamHack June 16th-19th

That's funny Oric, we all lol'd when you said we're taking your tower, we will just about have enough room for our own stuff, let alone yours, gl hf getting it there on a plane in 1 piece

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.

Lets base this on my car. if its 2500 (rounded up) miles and we average 40 mpg (room for some fun there) thats 62.5 gallons of fuel.

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.

I was just going to pay for my fuel dont really care about the money. roadtrip is roadtrip.

Lol i cant afford to do the same

[nikoli]

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 ^^

[Vicious Horizon]

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.

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.

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

[Target]

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

[Target]

Shotgun with EZ

[Kiliv]

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

[Target]

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

[Marshy]

Shotgun the boot of ezs car

[nikoli]

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

[CILLIT BANG]

lets just go amsterdam will be loads cheaper and get so destroyed if feels like were at dreamhack?
