We manage to get down to LeMans in a MGBGT with all the gear. THe MGB GT makes the Golf R32 look as roomy as a bus! so space is a premium. We have tried the bucket technique, but if you havent go much shade it can be ineffective.
What we have done for this year is to make a box out of 3 ply and inside attach the material they use for insulation for Fridges (No.. not asbestos!!). The door can be sealled with wignut screws to keep it airtight. Then that can be put in the MG and filled with gear, then once in LeMans buy some Ice from the Supermarket, put your food and beer in it and it will keep cold for ages!!.

Thanks for your advice Ken and while we're there, Breadstick?
I once heard of a bloke called Justin Time and a couple of months ago the Sun had an article about a Mr Peacock who had just named his baby boy Drew.

Hi Andy, yes, we'll be on Expo again this year, arriving Thursday evening. If you can make it there, yes, there's a cold beer waiting for you then (or two, or three...). I'm sure we'll meet also at Champaign-Bar on saturday??? Any other CA Forum members on campoing on Expo? |

Visited CostCo this weekend and picked up the mother of all coolboxes. It's an Igloo Maxcold 100-litres, which claims to keep ice frozen for 5 days, comes with a separate tray hanging from the top to stick non-beer items and a drainage tap in the base to get rid of surplus water. A bargain at c.£50, about half what internet sellers are asking for it.  |

They also did some with wheels at one end and a pull along handle. |

We have one - ex CostCo last year - great bit of kit! Plan get another one if I can so I can split the cocktail bar from the wine bar (oh and maybe chuck some food in as well...)

>to stick non-beer items < Seems a shameful waste of space, can't you force even more beer items in? Bill  |

After a number of years faffing around with electric cold boxes I've bought a three way fridge, we'll run it on the mains before we leave to get it cold and then run it on gas whenwe get there It cost around £140 and it looks pretty good. Sooo at least we'll have cold beer this year!  |

Disappointingly, if you search for three way on google it doesn't appear to find any porn sites!

Just to veer back off topic, I used to play cricket with a large Trinidadian guy called Rick Blackman.
As for the cooling of the beer, last year we pitched a tent just for beer and wine, if we can find the space (difficult with S2000's, TVR's and 350z's) then we might pick up a Costco cool box.
