matey is because When I lack humourworth sarcy is useful…ok on that Dexo;-)
Sure am Dillie
No Dexo. I lived the life I bear the scars…just composing myself…soft music in the background…drinks of tap…deckchair decked backwards…voice operated keyboard now…
.
familiarity so soon Dexo…chin chin
Bottoms up.
Now, if you don’t mind, get on with the saga.
So far, they’ve got to Southampton and getting ready to board.
Right so now Brian is being driven by my Husband back to Heathrow for his flight and return the hired car…all seems to have gone to plan…Must be a week later (guessing) Brian is telling us that the Smart Car is held at Jacksonville and cannot enter the USA. Brian is devastated as it was the time that Smart Cars were appearing on the roads in the USA…
As asked earlier - customs?
So this Saga goes on and he try’s his best to sort out what to do next…Fact is the port will now bill him for storage and will soon eat into his ‘baby’…dead in the Water now…cat jumped on the laptop
right cat seeking attention…
so when push comes to shove…he books a return back to the UK.tink he would fly back…but do not know…we kept our heads low mighty low…He ties up with his cousin and intends to get up to Swindon once he picks up the Smart Car…and he gets to drive it for some distance at last…
yes ok keep your hair on…Was always going to be a customs of some sort issue…Facts…Plastic Fuel Tank not allowed Stateside…back then no idea today’s laws though
ok Dexo brownie points ok
Bit confused here Di. Thought the Smart car was in Jacksonville 
So whatever vehicle conformities …never was going to pass the conditions of the Country…We have found out to our costs and upsets that our Mitsubishi L200 is a non conformity in France…Applied to Paris for the re registration and told to send it back to Thailand…never was made in Japan,so rejected here…Husbands 3rd Love and all.
I am not sure why Bri couldn’t get dressed to have his pic taken?
Doesn’t he have a string vest, or a hi vis jacket he could’ve popped on?
Yes he had to arrange a return to UK Dexo …it is in the print unless the cat took it out…
I believe there are software thingies that could have cropped out his manly chest.
:-)Men are confused a lot and exceedingly easily…
So, to clarify - he shipped the car back to the UK?
Manly…I thought everything in the modern age has to be removed by any means fit…
