  1. I could give you a really interesting answer.......... But the boring answer is just the fact that it means I originate from the county of Lincolnshire (up North!) - so yes, you could say I should maybe keep that covered up?
  2. Yes Bugbear I'm a Lincolnshire Yella Belly, born and bred!
  3. [quote user="Bugbear"]Aly This site  is worth a look, they look like heavy denim jeans but have a soft-knitted kevlar lining. Also available with hip and knee armour, if required.[/quote] They're pretty good so far, I've got some of these, but I put the Hipro-Tech from Heine Gericke in the hips and knees - very comfy.  Not tried out the spill factor in them as yet, only tried it in leathers on one occasion and dainese water proof textiles on another which have huge dainese knee and shin protectors in them - hardly felt a thing! I don't make a habit of it honestly, these were a few years ago - but if I ever happen to again in my hood jeans and hipro-tech protectors I'll keep you posted! Hello to Sunday Driver and Bugbear - read many of your postings, mainly been a quiet member of this forum, but just thought I'd put in my "two penneth" to introduce myself - so be gentle!  
  4. Hi me again - sorry if I appear stupid, read a lot of info on registering vans/cars etc but what I'm not 100% about is can the registering of the vehicle be done by post like in the UK? Understand you need id, proof of residence, certificat d'immatriculation (which I've downloaded the form), certificiate de situation from the seller, certificate de cession from previous owner and of course the carte grise and to check the CT etc, but can it be done by post? or do you need to physically go into the prefecture or sous-prefecture to do this? It may be easier if we just buy from a proper garage - I understand they help with all the paperwork side of things.  
  5. Thank you! This clears up the grey area for us we were worried about -many thanks to all who replied. Cheers!
  6. Can anyone advise us?  We are looking at buying a french registered van from france, and want to drive it back to the UK until we go over for the permanent move in about 6 weeks' time.  Is this a good/bad idea regarding insurance/registering etc.  We own a property in France which we are going over to in about 6 weeks' time to start the work on to make it habitable and will be driving over in it then to keep there on a permanent basis. Would it be best to get French insurance to cover for the UK as well or get UK insurance which would cover for France until we go back over there and get sorted, and then register within our region and insure it with French insurer. Help anyone?!!  
  7. I found an article at www.frenchentree.com which highlights new 2007 rules on TVA on renovation and you can also download a Attestation simplifee form so you can claim TVA at 5.5% for your renovation see also www.impots.gouv.fr and search for "Taux de TVA reduit pour les travaux realises dans les logements" Apparently the saving applies for buildings more than two years old and where the work is being carried out does not amount to creating a new home.  But if you read the article on the french entree site it should clarify any query you have with your particular case. Hope this helps!
