Buying car in Italy to drive home...

[somewhatfoolish]

My brother drove from Wales to Prague in an early Panda (Y reg). Next year he drove it to Budapest.He got back both times.He said that one of the best moments was being passed by a Trabant full of people elated at overtaking a Western car.This was a year after the Berlin wall came down.

My brother and his best mate drove to Berlin in 1990 in a crispy 2CV Charleston. He brought me back a genuine* bit of the wall, which I still have in a drawer somewhere.
