My daughter bought a new Style RHD BMW Mini that had been built here and shipped to Germany for sale and then back to here probably without leaving the transporter. When she sold it at 15 months old it seems that it is an "IMPORT" as something in the VIN (I guess) tells that it was export...

Nicholas, you make some valid points. I've lived outside the EEC and have worked around Europe for many years. We see very good standards of living and far better behaviour around in our neighboutrs coountries, but the Brit politicians still sell UK people the wonders of the NHS and our...

As much as safety is important, a Caravan MOT will only be another financial rip off of the motorist. You are legally obliged to tow a legal roadworthy caravan and that should be good enough for a non motorized vehicle. Or are we to be taken over by every euro whim!

Just re read your initial post Rubix. Having had 3 children within 4 years we found having ones own space made for more peaceful pleasant holiday. We inherited our first van so had no choice about it being a largish 2 / double bed model. We worked out how to fit the kids in if the weather was...

Sorry Rubix. Yes dinette at each end. Out last van was 4/5 birth Senator. We ditched the 5th bed bunk and had the choice of two huge beds. If eating in the van yoiu can relax at one end and eat at the other. Others love their fixed beds and huge bathrooms, we've tried those type of vans but...

Twin end dinettes, compact side bathroom. We have maximum useable space and can do difernt things at either end of the van rather than being crammed into one end and it offers the choice of two huge double beds.

So you have a secure forum Rob. I guess it comes down to cost here!

Names of the Lakes There are 13 bodies of water in the Lake District that are usually considered to be lakes, as opposed to tarns. Size isn't everything, as the largest of the tarns is bigger than the smallest of the lakes. Then again, only one lake actually has the word "Lake" in its name...

Some cars display the vin number through a small window at the lowere edge of the windscreen I think.

via michelin has not been working for a few days unless someone knows different. www.mappy.com is pretty good as well.

So why is not called the water or mere district ;-)

Colin as many in t5he Uk rely on overtime to pay for the little extras in life if European working practices are forced upon us as the French, Germans etc don't want to be out done by us. You may get more holidays but many will not have the money to enjoy them ;-)

16 main lakes.

As so called Europeans we can't even agree and vote fairly at the European Song Contest. The Spanish have taken millions of Euro's in tax's on properties built illegaly and as most are owned by foreigners they plsn to knock them down. Scots, Welsh and English can't agree and get on and all...
