Well said. Is that why the compound near the Torreta's seems to have a lot of UK plated cars in it. It is easy to replate a car out here if required. Always plenty of adverts by garages who do it. I really don't see what the problem is with some people, do you ?

How to kill your old banger
Originalmente publicado por harpo23z Ver MensajeI am bringing my uk reg car with me when i move there later this year but it will be taxed,mot'd and insured and once the 6 months is up i will be selling it for scrap and buying a Spanish car.

You are gonna sell it for scrap, thats the problem, first to do that you have to return the log book stating the vehicle has been or is in the process of being dismantled and you need a signature from the breakers stating this.
Now the problem is when you sell it for scrap its likely to end up back on the road, uninsured without an mot and completley untraceable, people object to this an its a fair arguement that they have about these old bangers that are not worth matriculating but are in good nick and run well .. Your Words..
The only way to be completley sure thats it is scrap is to make sure thats its exactlly that by draining the water and running it untill the thing overheats and destroys the engine.
No objection to people complaining about these old bangers being on the road.
Ps Its very windy here today and its pissin down.

By the way i did not say it was an old banger, its a 1993 Puegeot 406, not a scratch on it, its passed the mot every year without any problems,is serviced every 6 months (my daughter works in the motor trade so i get it at cost) but the fact that it is 15 years old and done over 130,000 miles means that its only worth about £500 in the uk.
The reason i will be bringing it to spain when i move there is a) to save me the expense of hiring a car when we arrive b)so we can bring more of our personal effects with us (rather than the 20 kilos with sleasy jet) c) for the expirience of driving across europe before we start our new life in Spain.
Sorry its so long winded but i dont want anyone to get the wrong impression.

For around 1000e euro you could put this car onto spanish plates, 130.000 miles is nothing really and if it is as good as you say then its worth keeping, the spanish equivalant would cost you 2 and a half grand easy but i expect you will buy something new, often its worth keeping an old runaround.
Anyway just a thought.

thanks for the advice, i had thought about getting spanish plates as it is a good and reliable motor but, the other half does not realy like driving on the right when we have been on holiday and i am sure she would definately not drive a right hand car on the wrong side of the road (so to speak),and as i enjoy a beer or two or three when we go out i dont want to give her any excuse not to drive me home.
I have been thinking of buying a new car when we arrive but bringing our uk car with us will allow me time to shop around and get the best deal i can

Originalmente publicado por stevethepainter Ver MensajeHonestly no i dont care how they see us because i know they dont care how we see them, truth is the spanish resent our presence but want our investment, i see this all the day is long..
I was smart enough to live miles away from Torrevieja ...

This is a very good site to look at:-
THE BOOK FOR ENGLISH
It's got everybit of info regarding driving in Spain. At the bottom of the page it has all the updates from May 2005 up until August 2008. The book is by
Brian J Deller.

Firstly, millionaires don't post on internet fora. People who claim do be as much are in all likelihood children.
Secondly, why does this forum always descend into name calling ? Is there something in the air out here ? Even pleasantly given good advice and information ends in abuse. No wonder those who run this keep deleting things.
As a retired RMN I could write a paper on this forum !
