Original email from Orna 22nd July Response from Rodney
Do we know which vehicles we are using? I have a VW estate with roof rack, it's a company car which I don't mind using however I will need to see if I can add drivers to the insurance. In which case do I just try and add three other drivers or all of the crew? Orna
Hi Orna, good to hear from you. I've added your email and my response below to the Forum @ stcc-rai2015.freeforums.net/thread/10/vehicle-coming-englandIs the plan for the three of you to come over together in the VW estate? Or are you perhaps coming over in two cars ? David mentioned before as to his car which he was reluctant to use in the Race itself as he wanted to sell it ? To me its a case of us seeing what we have available and then how best to use the resources. We might even have too many cars/vans - i doubt it, but anything we don't actually use can be considered as back-up or as plan B. Most Irish drivers if they have open driving policies would be covered to drive other people's cars, and the other folk can drive my car (under their own policy) ... though usually its only under a 3rd Party Fire & Theft basis rather than a full comprehensive. So you mightn't need to add anyone in particular to be honest, as i'd imagine it would be enough for say me & Daragh or whoever once we have our own insurance then we've covered (to an extent) to drive your car. HOWEVER you should check this out with your company and with your insurance. Some of the crew as it turns out do not have full licences/coverage so this is something to be investigated for them across all the vehicles. whether we/they take out temporary short-term insurance is a decision for later... If the VW is to be used .. .be it as a follow-on car then it will be generally driven by Crew, if it acts as a Leap-Frog car then it will be the four riders of that particular pod plus one/two crew perhaps. How many bikes can your rack carry ? Best wishes |

It's not going to work they will only add people that are over 21 and live in my house. Kirsty and Dave will probably take their car (think they are selling it pre/post race) on the ferry. Yes only travelling with one car on the ferry and their friend is flying over.
Could we schedule in a skype meeting in the next few weeks...mainly as I am a bit lost with the planning details and if theres a list of actions that we could do from here we can get more involved in the preparation logistics etc.. We are keen to help and conscious that you guys are doing all the work.
I will be in Ireland for Ironman 70.3 in a couple of weeks so it would be good to meet up with you guys and maybe head out for a ride too.
Thanks

I have had approval to add three drivers to my company car, VW Estate golf with roof rack, which could be used as a leap frog car?
