You started by asking really daft questions (fair enough).
You were given loads of help & adviced to read up on wiki.
Then it was back to daft questions.
Then you were definitely off to Germany.
Then you couldn't get to Peterborough.
Then you are on about Germany again.
Then you're telling people trying to help you "Well you buy it then"
Then you can't understand why you don't tell everyone how much you want to spend.
It goes on & on & on.....
Are you sure, you and you pig herding, are not a wind-up?

Being old and driving 23 years + doesnt make you a good driver!
They might be daft questions to you, but for someone like me who has never had a vw 80-90 would ask questions
like i have. And im sure you did at the start aswell. So to have no patience for a person new to the club and the vehicles is a shame.
I am weighing up my options im looking at germany to buy my van but if i find one here then thats another option.
I never said i was a pig herder!
Look if you are going to be contentious and just come out with Impotent posts towards me, the i would rather you not do that and just leave your thoughts to yourself!
Oh an another thing take a look at the 25yers mammutpark trial results look who came second! Women can be better than men at driving.

If you passed your test after 1997 you would not be able to drive anything over 3500 kg unless you've passed an lgv driving test.
So no licence and no insurance.

There are 3.5t horse boxes around but they are just luton vans really.
Good luck with your syncro search

One minute you're buying a van, next minute you're not, one minute it's in Germany, next minute it has to be RHD, next minute you're buying one in the UK, next minute you're not buying it but looking at one in Germany....
Sorry, but I'm going to sign this one off and let it (t)roll
