JeffR Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 My passport expired in 1982 (about the time I got banned from Holland after a particularly long weekend in Amsterdam) last time I tried to renew it it was suggested that they would have to interview my parents, got a bit upset when I asked them if I could attend the said seance. They don't like me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 AA Euro Recovery. May work, they start asking funny questions about the age of your car. They did help me in the end, it did take 4 weeks to deliver my car back home from finland though, by a delivery company called 'on time'. Still, France is a pretty good place to break down in a landy, as they are very common. In any case you go there because you believe everything will be well, so none of the above carp is needed or require worry about until they happen! Have fun, Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do? etc.... Steve Have a look on YouTube - it's like a giant Laning trip for 200 people - organised by GRM through some amazing countryside. They used to have that one as the 'easy' one and the trophy cevanol (sp?) as the extreme one - but they lost access to the land for that one.
