In true Hungarian style both garages were closed today so couldn't view either car. Thanks for the closer observations of the 2nd photos, I'll ask for some "actual" photos of the interior. My wife spoke to the garage and they said that the car was in excellent condition....but they are the ones that...

Saturday we were out at 7am to check out a Niva which turned out to be a total dog so had to walk away...and they wanted about £1300 for it. Spent the rest of the day looking for another Niva (or Suzuki SJ :oops: ) but couldn't find one we could afford within 100 miles. Today we were due to check ou...

Well it warmed up yesterday, rained and all the snow went so we took the opportunity to move house from our "summer" house up in the hills to our winter house in the village. The thermometer even showed 22*c in the sun :shock:

registering a car in Eire

Hi, just a quick question.....what's involved in reregistering a car on English plates in Eire? Is it a long, drawn out process? Does the car have to be presented for some kind of test/examination etc?
Thanks,
Paul

I've had loads of Minis over the years but gave them up when I realised I was spending every weekend working on them. Most of mine were MK 1's though. The oldest I had...
