The Moog Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Communist monument already in plans. I am sure bucketeer will show us the delights. When I looked at Wartburg's, you could pretty much sell it when back and cover your costs. Everyone will be welcome. I reckon you could do it on quite a small budget. DW wouldn't it make a great feature to sell? Bangers from Bulgaria or similar? That way it would pay for itself.

dollywobbler Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 DW wouldn't it make a great feature to sell? Bangers from Bulgaria or similar? That way it would pay for itself. Ha! That means I can write it off against tax. Brilliant. EDIT - though I doubt current freelance rates would really cover the total costs of such a mission...

Shouldn't be too much of an issue if a date can be pinned down in the next few months? I'm liking the idea of a Lancia for extra brave points, although here's a thought: how much would a Lada Niva be? holbeck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skattrd Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Wartburg tourist for me please, this green one with lino is giving me the horn: http://www.mobile.bg/pcgi/mobile.cgi?topmenu=1&act=4&adv=11492757406877090 If the route comes back through Serbia that would be a good place to pick-up a nice Yugo. I was in Belgrade recently and there were some minty fresh Yugos around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmatt Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Count me in as a definite maybe for this caper ... I think barmatt could be interested as well (provided he's drunk when asked) Has anyone looked in to the boring side of this? Insurance, breakdown cover etc? I'm definitely interested in this even though I'm totally sober at the mo, thanks Chris I don't know how well me asking for Whitsun week off work would go down but given this much notice they'd just have to suck it up.

Heidel_Kakao Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Would you be driving the cars back straight after the meetup? I could probably make the weekend but don't think I could get time off the following week to be able to drive home. I suppose I don't have to buy a car but I would want to.

The Moog Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 The way back would be people's choice. If people want to drive straight home then they can. If they want to wander back through the Balkans then more than happy. I hope that if people want to come out for just the weekend then they can. Will check with Alex that nothing logistically should stop the dates being doable, also will have a look into insurance for the drive home.

bub2006 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Im so tempted to join in the fun. Id more than likely drive there abd back though so if someone dont want to fly they can road trip with me and bring some shite back. I just fancy the drive!

I just fancy the drive!If I were able to get some affordable insurance for bringing something back, this would be something that I may be interested in (if I can get the time off work). Much like DW, I hate flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_the_cat Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm seriously considering the idea of driving there to meet up with you all, and they a convoy back. It'd be an EPIC road trip, and hopefully not *too* hot so I could survive in the Stellar without AC. Google maps here I come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red5 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I've got a tough one for you to find, Sam. A Suzuki RG500 Gamma, sold between 1985 and 1987 approx. They're hard to find for sensible money in Western Europe but there might be one or two kicking around over there. I shall furnish you with copious quantities of strong alcohol if you can find me one. x2 please. Also copious. Possible a hug as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think that myself, although It'd be a dull drive back (having already owned one for commuting in Thatcher's Britain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
