If you do this you'd be quite late and miss a part of the 
program; there's a tour that starts around 10h00...
And you should take into account that you "loose" an hour
when traveling to the main land, so you'd arrive in France
around 22h30 CET (ferry takes about 2 hours if memory serves).

The drive from Calais to where I live (South of Netherlands) 
can be done (at night) in 3 hours, from my place to the hotel
we'll be staying at is about an hours worth of driving.
If you leave earlier in the afternoon you can drive to the
Dutch hotel on Friday and participate right after breakfast on 
Saturday. I will be joining Saturday morning, as I live relatively 
closeby and I have several things to arrange on Friday, 
including printing the translated route-discriptions, 
which I don't get till firday morning :-(

>Ferry can be got for £75.

Le Shuttle cost me about £100 for SuperCar Weekend...
Trip takes 35 minutes to get across, an hour including the
check in and checkout... (and YES a DeLorean does fit the
double deck carriages: 1m85 is space enough to open your door)

Looks like we're up to three cars now? (Martin, Richard, Dan)
Anyone else coming???
