Popular Post Arjan Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 As some of you may know, I live in France and things here are different in many ways... One of those things that are different is how buying used trailers goes. I needed one and, as a new one was out of the question, it would be looking on line. In France, LeBonCoin is the place to look for anything and loads and loads of used trailers came up. So, one sents a message through the LB system and then waits for a reply from the seller who eagerly wants to sell the trailer. And waits.. And waits some more... Experience has told me that sellers post an add, sell the thing and forget / can't be bothered to take it down. Go on Holiday. etc. So, when #7 seller responded and actually communicated I had no choice but to go and get it. A 720 km. (about 460 miles) roundtrip to collect this one. I was happy with the trailer and the new to me Discovery did what it should do. France is a big country.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaselTrap Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It indeed is, at least here you know everything that is posted on the national market place is a maximum of a 2 hours drive away. Beautiful picture on the road, looks like it was a nice day for a drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Yes, Holland is tiny compared to the travels we have to do here... Often not so much the KMs but the hours as lots is not motorway.. Minus 5 C all day but beautifully sunny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
