mat_the_cat Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Unless we get someone not from the UK to drive it. Then it's entirely legal. What a farce. tooSavvy appears to be not from this planet, so might fit the bill? Supernaut, gm, Sloth in a bowl and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloth in a bowl Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I've been looking at all sorts of options for driving straight to Aberdeen from Romania. I haven't found one that's legal yet annoyingly. Unless we get someone not from the UK to drive it. Then it's entirely legal. What a farce.Does anybody here have dual nationality and so can claim to be just passing through?

dollywobbler Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hold on. I was thinking I couldn't get away with Aberdeen as being 'on the way' to a pre-booked MOT, but what if we get a ferry straight to Aberdeen? *Google* £90 from Hook of Holland to Aberdeen! Book MOT at home, sorted! EDIT - not sorted. Crap website. It was actually sending me to Harwich... beko1987, oldcars and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidfowler2000 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 In much the same vein as round about this time last year, the Volvo has had it's yearly big wash, polish and wax. I'll get some bumper stuff on to it at some point. Two and a half hours on this barge. oldcars, Twiggy, Bucketeer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 2 weeks ish to go! Any other southern/midlands people got any plans for routes etc? I may stop at Bubs Thursday night, so if any of the ASMM people are leaving on Friday (or thursday, I have the day off work) I could drive with you... We could have a Cannock breakfast on Friday and just not have auction fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 None as yet. I was thinking about making a Shitefest logistics thread earlier as nobody has done it yet. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Please do! I'm wanting to plan, and I don't usually do that! Your below me aren't you in the country? Maybe we should meet and go to cannock on Thursday and go from there? I've got something to give to bub, but if I don't make it over due to changes of plans I'd like to ask a midlands person if I can drop it off for a future Shitely/meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I’ll be heading up on Thursday and staying overnight in the Central Belt somewhere, I’m useless at early starts and would prefer a leisurely drive up.

beko1987 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Well yes, Manchester is a bit north of Oxon. My excuse is I don't know where you live! I'm not panicking, just want to know roughly what the stages will be in my journey, or if I just drive until I get tired and sleep in a layby for a bit halfway there! I can leave once I've packed the car on Thursday, I'm very excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
