Harry cheers for that.

I'm going to the office in Lublin on Monday to find out.

Forfour's are so much better then colt's.

Forfour is like owing an Alfa. Better to drive then Fiat but has some niggels that Colt's don't.

I have driven many many cars. Fast, slow, big, small and great. But the Forfour has never failed to put a smile on my face. No other car has came close.

Been told today you can NOT reg an English car in Poland. Only if you have a Blue badge or work for the Ministry.

So my English car is up for sale cheap in Poland for the next 2 weeks. Then if no-one buys it, it's off back to the UK with it to sell it there.

They might be in violation of EU law. But i need it to be reg by Jan 10th. It won't happen by then. So i need to sell it.

05reg, 45k(miles), like new and only 18,000. 8k-12k cheaper then all on Allegro.
Mine as alot higher spec.

We tried to call them. They more or less told us we have no hope in hell.
I would complain if i had more time. But my MOT runs out in Jan and tax in Feb.
So i need to take it back to the UK were i will sell it.

The price in £ is £3800. £1200 cheaper then other ones same age.
I love the car, it drives amazing so petrol is good. 45mile to the gallon.

Just i need a LHD. :(

They sent us something in writing saying it can be done. But it needs a Minister to sign it off and no-one will. That took them 4 weeks to send the letter.

They never will send anything in writing saying they can not do it. It's just over the phone.
They are making it as slow as poss so you have to go back to the UK no matter what.

As we are English we will try to sort it out 3 months before. Thats enough time.
But the Polish will put you off for over 6 months. So you need to TRY and reg your car in Poland asap, or no hope in hell.

My car is on Allgero for 18,000zlt.
webuyanycar.com will give me £3200 for it. 16,000zlt. So it's a bargin IF YOU can reg it.

News / RHD cars in Poland - my campaign to change the rules in Poland [128]

I would love to keep it.
MOT, TAX and Insurance for ayear now is £700. 3500zlt is alot.

If i sell my car in the UK for a normal price and put the extra 3500zlt to another car i can get a 7 year old BMW 530 Kombi. (Or a Jaguar x-type 3.0 4x4)

Love / I`m Polish bloke lookin`for an English girl. Is it gonna work out? [51]

Sebastian

I'm an English Man with a Polish Woman.
Polish Women are 100x better then the English Women of young.

MOVE AWAY FROM YORKSHIRE!!! There are not many good women in Yorkshire left. The good ones are taken and the ones are left even the English Men wouldn't take.

Love / I`m Polish bloke lookin`for an English girl. Is it gonna work out? [51]

I'm not from Yorkshire. But i know alot of Girls from Yorkshire. and only around 5% of them are nice. Yes i've dated a few.

Plus i think Polish Women are smarter them most or Women.

Travel / Driving to Lublin from Cork in Ireland [7]

I live in Lublin and drove from Manchester.

It's a very long drive. If you have a dvd player in your car that would be better.

I am driving back from Lublin to Manchester on Friday.
I'll be stopping in Hannover. Hannover to Lublin is around 12hours drive.

What info would you like to know about driving? Best way, fastest way or best place to stop over?

A Polish man has taken the Polish Gov to court and he lost. Now he is trying to take them to the EU Courts. Where he will win the case.

So we now just have to wait untill he wins the case and the Polish Gov gets a big fine. Then they will reg every RHD car.

Easter Eggs in Poland

Where can i buy real Easter Eggs in Poland. Like you get in the UK. Big chocolate eggs.
Cadburys creme eggs and so on. I want to buy all my family and friends some in Poland as they have never had them.

I love Easter in the UK lots of sweets and egg hunts.

Travel / Best Easter Eggs in Warsaw? [9]

Thanks. I was thinking of trying to do that.

If i could buy some real Easter Eggs tho. Big ones. In the UK they are £3 so i know in Poland if they did sell them they would be around 30zlt or more.

I just missed easter lots last year. So this year i wanted to have a English-Polish Easter.

If you find out where i can buy any from please tell me.

Travel / Getting from Sheffield to Warsaw on May [6]

I think it would be better to find a flight from the UK to Warsaw. Not Sheffield to Poland.
Liverpool, Edinburgh, London or Birmingham.
Wizzair
EasyJet
Rynair

Love / English girl moving to Poland with my Polish boyfriend for the first time [69]

It depends where your going to move too.
Bigger City you will find English people and have a good time.
Small Place will be harder to find friends and a job.

I'm English and Moved with my gf 21 months ago to Lublin.
I really like it here. It's a Uni city so alot of people know English.

You can always say to him you will give it a go for one year. If you don't like it after ayear you can talk about moving back to the UK.

Life / Punk and Garage scene in Poland [35]

There is a little bit of Punk, Rock and Emo in Lublin.
When you come to Lublin you will enjoy it. I'm English and lived here awhile. It's a great City and good people too.

Love / English girl moving to Poland with my Polish boyfriend for the first time [69]

I work as an English teacher. Private lessons too, Business English too.
It's a good paid job in Poland. Around 40zlt an hour. So for around 10 hours a week you can earn 1400zlt amonth after tax. What is an ok wage.

Emo is the young people who listen to music and cut themselfs and are always sad.

UK, Ireland / driving in england on a Polish license [10]

If your GF passes her driving test. Get her as a main driver on the car and you as a 2nd driver.

There are Insurance companies just for women. It's around 20% cheaper.
Diamond, sheilas wheels. ones like that.

Tesco is cheap. AXA will accept your No claims.

Stuart collins is a little bit more. around 5% more. But you get full EU Cover too. So you can drive back to poland without paying anything extra.

With Tesco you will have to pay around £60 for 3 months extra. (Maybe more)

Try Stuart collins and insurance for women only. They are the best ones.

Travel / How can I get to Zlote tarasy - Warsaw? [14]

Life / Electricity bill 1400zlt 5 months. [18]

2 rooms, saving bulbs, computer. only around 40m2.

If you say it's right then i must pay.
just something deep down says it's not right.

Life / Electricity bill 1400zlt 5 months. [18]

I know Manc. When i was in Manc land i use to pay the much for everything for 5 months.

maybe i should grow the plants. it will pay for the high bill.

Life / Electricity bill 1400zlt 5 months. [18]

Ziemowit i will try that. It could be a good idea.

I wouldn't have minded 700zlt. i knowthat would have been high and i would have paid it st8 away. But nearly 1400zlt is unreal.

Love / Giving a present to Polish girl i like [12]

Paul.
I know sometimes it doesn't work out and you need to get divorced.

If you like her. Get her something. not a neckless or anything like that just yet.

Polish women love flowers. keep the neckless untill you know she likes you back.

Don't listen to some of these people.

Do what feels right to you tho.

USA, Canada / Sending money to Poland from the USA? [48]

Moneybookers.com is the best way. It's fully legal tho. You have to have a reg address in your country to deposit and they have to have a reg address in that country to withdraw it.

I use it alot to transfer money from my UK account to my Polish account. I save around 3-8% each time. Takes up to 10 days tho. Normaly 3 days.
