dollywobbler Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Saw Sam Glover today, who recommended ordering a set of export plates from Germany or similar, and just using those. Doesn't sound a cheap option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 It'd be in three figures. For German export info you could probably consult Junkman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 After thinking about all the logistics for this trip, I am going to have to put the thought of a Wartburg tourist on hold for now. Instead will be using time to deliver some of my mates stuff to him in Grenoble before wandering back through France. Bit gutted but just can't make the time work really.

dollywobbler Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 It is a shame, but I think you're right. IFA Club reckon Tourists are starting to get very sought after, and pricey as a result. Which is probably because they are AWESOME. But, I think sniffing one out will need a bigger trip. Hungary comes recommended. The trip is still on though. Catsinthewelder and myself have eyed up the entire two weeks between landing in Sofia and the start of Shitefest as fair game, should anyone still be thinking this sounds like a good idea. Even if you join us for a few LOLS and fly back home, you'd be welcome. Given we land just before a weekend, I don't anticipate us actually buying anything until the following week. Romania still seems like a good contender. eddyramrod, The Moog and DodgeRover 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Instead will be using time to deliver some of my mates stuff to him in Grenoble before wandering back through France. Whenever Grenoble is mentioned I have to say 'I studied there 20 years ago'...I expect my pub/restaurant recommendations are a tad out of date though... 'Vieux Manoir' was the best nightclub, ahh, staying out all night and getting the first tram home.... The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TataBobu Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Romania started having insurance on a month to month basis (from today, the N-th of month number X, until the (N-1)th of month number X+1). Everything you need to buy a car except the stamp from the seller's Tax office you can get done for you in any shed that has a sign reading ACTE AUTO. They usually do insurances, too (in Romanian it's ASIGURARI AUTO). Third-party only, for fully comprehensive it's another ball game, and third party, fire and theft is unheard of.

panhard65 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 That is interesting I am still thinking about this and skyscanner emailed this morning to tell me a flight from Birmingham to Sofia can be had for £44. Does anyone want a co driver ? I need to be back within a week mind. Brodders, chaseracer and catsinthewelder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 There's two of us on the flight from Brum to Sofia on 24th May. I think Brodders arrives a day earlier. He needs to be back sooner than me and Cats do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone want a co driver ? I need to be back within a week mind.As DW said above, I need to be back sooner than himself and Cats, specifically by Friday 1st of June. Although I was planning on getting a ferry to Harwich on the afternoon of Thursday 31st of May, I would be more than happy to divert to a different port and drop a shitter home if they were willing to be co-driver for the trip. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panhard65 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The price dropped again today £37 on the same flight as mr Wobbler and Cats. I am in the south west that makes Harwich a bit out of the way really but a drop off in London or somewhere else with direct rail links to the south west could work. I bet the train will be double the flight price mind. eddyramrod and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets from France to Portsmouth look to be much cheaper than ones from the continent to Harwich, so it would be something I would be more than happy to go with.

dollywobbler Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I like how this is developing. If folk form up into pairs, that probably makes life easier. Especially if the groups are prepared to go their separate ways. We'll certainly have some tales to exchange when it's all over no doubt!

dollywobbler Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Since posting a video teaser on YouTube about our plans, I've been warned by several people that Bulgarian cars can come complete with outstanding vignette debts, sometimes really big ones. Oh, and yet more warnings that Bulgarian cars are all ruined, and expensive. How exciting. Tickman, egg and Aston Martin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodders Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Don't worry, I am currently trying to figure out a way of legally driving a car which is in Romania but still US registered, despite having been there since 1997, back across Europe. It will probably be a complete pain in the arse, but I think I might just about be able to make it work... Possibly. Either way, the collections for all of us are going to be amazing. I cannot wait. egg, Aston Martin, catsinthewelder and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Oh wait. Now someone in Bulgaria tells me Romania is full of cowboys and thieves and basically completely lawless when it comes to the roads. Mind you, I've driven through cities in this country that make me feel the same way. Kringle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
