Aston Martin Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 You people are maniacs and I want no part of it. ... Wait a minute, a Panda van for 600 euros!!!Ok, I'm listening. P.s. I'd prefer a Peugeot 403, but can't find one. A Skoda 100 or a Taxi Dacia Solenzia would possibly work. P.p.s Just spent an hour looking at random shite, convertible Zastavas etc.Tomoseseses are 200 euros, take the handlebars off and bang in the back seat. If the car breaks you're golden... eddyramrod and 83C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 As mentioned above, I am planning on going that weekend in May. If people want to come then fab. I haven't done anything else about booking anything aside form confirming with Bucketeer that his Bulgarian shite buying skills will be available.

Aston Martin Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Again, I was bored. In theory if you get a Fiat 126, a Trabant or a Wartburg. You should make your money back if you wanted to sell it here. A Beetle or a T2 appear to be worth more here too. Quite a few cars I've seen for sale have homemade looking TNG systems fitted. I'm assuming this is the same as LPG, so it's cheaper to drive back. Ignoring the bomb in the boot obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_the_cat Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Wondering if there's something which is cheap here, and highly desirable over there you could sell to cover costs for the outward leg...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_the_cat Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 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! Realistically it would have to be the BX - double the mpg AND cheaper fuel, easier to sleep in and more likely to find parts along the way if needed. I can only say a maybe though at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 So had a quick look and would be getting a flight out on 25th May 2018 Flights on wizz air are about £150 one way including 20kg of baggage (for tools init) Would start driving back on the Monday with aim to be back in UK on Thursday.

Brodders Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Wondering if there's something which is cheap here, and highly desirable over there you could sell to cover costs for the outward leg...?I was thinking along the same lines as you. I think something like a Cadillac BLS or CTS could be bought fairly cheaply over here (less than £1500) and sold out there for at least twice that. The only problem I can think of with that plan is selling them quick enough to buy another car to get back with everyone else. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy18s Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 It would need to be lhd to stand any chance of a quick salePlus you would need to have the full v5 to pass on to a buyer to make things as easy as possibleDon't forget to add 500ish in fuel,tolls and vignettes to bring something over as wellBut the world is your oyster once you start looking Aston Martin, Brodders and John F 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy18s Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just a heads up about this On the plus side,it looks like both Bulgaria and Romania will be allowed into the Schengen agreement This basically opens the borders to the same degree as driving from France to Germany...just a little sign to say helloOn the downside,whizzair are cancelling all flights from most UK airports into Sofia as from November this yearSo far it seems Luton will be their only departure gate to Sofia,and we're hearing rumours of it only being once a week on Fridays....I'll update as I hear of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
