Everything about (fossil) power - from weed whackers to atom colliders. My hobby/passion is cars like for all the rest of 5 billion car fans. Here you can find whatever I come up with car related.
Is there any way to get the car on your name and leaving the country with it without using a UK address im not from UK and i dont know how to go around this
DISCLAIMER: THIS POST INCLUDES CREATIVE OUT-OF-THE-BOX IDEAS WHICH ARE FOR THEORY EXERCISE ONLY. THIS IS NOT MY OFFICIAL POSITION, JUST A CREATIVE THOUGHT EXERCISE. SO, IN THEORY - since the only way registration documents are handled is via letter then - OK, BEAR IN MIND - THIS GHETTO AF - then you could put your address as some hotel address or some other official place where they will most likely a) destroy the letter or b) send it back to the sender. This way the car would be on your name in the registry and the documents will exist and won't end up in the wrong hands. DVLA has other forms - I personally have used V756 "Application for a ‘Certificate of Permanent Export’ (V561) when you do not have a vehicle registration certificate (V5C)". The world is your oyster. BUT as far as I know do get the UK documents you need a UK address where these could be sent to and the documents take like 3-6 weeks to arrive (from experience). Having no documents is a gamble of a prospect. Internet exist - just make an UK friend.
There is many french, german or american cars worth buying. So the wheel is on the left side. I was just interested in what registering agencies were asking as documents like yearly check MOT and emisions, custom duty tax and VAT. But thank you for sharing, i appreciate it!
Documents: I registered one previous car in Estonia after Brexit. I had the V5C on my name in the UK. In addition to that I had to pay the taxes which are customs duty + VAT (I think). So, I had the UK ownership papers and I had papers from the Tax & Customs office that all the duties are paid. That is it - in addition to making the car compliant by changing the headlights. I just recently got the car on the thumbnail pre-registering inspected. All I would need to do is to change the headlights and put the rear fog light (which they already added in the UK) to the other side. Even though it is a JDM car it seems the checks are less stringent when the car is already registered in the UK than just taking a car out of a container.
Took a look in Google and you are right - it does have an aluminium looking option. But most pictures are all with some sort of variant of wood looking trim. This car is actually not mine and is for sale. But if It was mine I'd most likely would get these wrapped. 🤔
We had a W203 and now a S203. Even 20 years later its just a great car, like you said the car is just smart enough to have neat features like coming/leaving home lights or tell you a light bulb is out but it still can be repaired by just about anyone. The first one we had suffered from major rust issues, by major i mean there was no floor or rocker panels, the body was held together by the roof and frame rails (longerons), amazingly the car still felt rigid. The T modell(wagon) has more space for rear passengers but approximately the same boot as the sedan. I'd recommend the sedan, but to each their own. I am trying to justify buying a newer car but i literally cant, its that good. The W204 interior looks and feels like it was inspired by the Opel Astra H, and im not spending 15k for a W205.
The rust issue on any MB product from that era is crazy. Before this car I have had literally no experience with these W203s but I remember seeing quite a few which had rusted basically from all over the car from really random spots. Other German brands from that time rust too but these have a real penchant of doing it. Space wise, it really is a small car which makes this having a 5.4 liter engine even more quaint and cool. I wonder if this is easily superchargeable? 🤔
@@JJsAutomotive the chassis is at its limit with the 55, see Misha Charoudings video of it on the nurburgring. You'd want the bigger W211 e class for going any faster.
This car is not a Nürburgring car stock anyway so whatever he said there is irrelevant to where this car shines the most - a sporty long distance bruiser. I am sure 100 extra kw could be negated with finding a way to fit even wider back tires to the rear. Whatever our friend Misha says is not by all end all. 😀
Intro was inspired by cult TV show "Alarm für Cobra 11" and was supposed to feature this music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wrxz_v_caQ.html But since it is copyrighted I used the first track I found on my computer I liked (18:50 - "Devil's Meat Grinder"): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3prx6jXJCkQ.html Andre Fux was the best partner Semir ever had. PERIOD.
Same issue with power steering and suspension - but yeah overall pretty reliable - I bought mine ( 2008 quattro ) used in 2012 - still running today and I use it as a daily - yeah a $1500 repair bill on occasion seems "high" but ehh can i buy a nice running driving a8 for $1500 - nope - overall since purchase in 12, not including tires I think I'm out of pocket about 3 grand on maintenance and repairs
No problem. First joy is creating the content but even bigger one is when someone finds it valuable in some way. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Yes, for someone 2m tall (which I coincidentally am) there is exactly enough space to drive in the track driving seating position. I drove this car from England to Estonia and I had no problem. Thank you for watching & commenting.
Eks ikka püüan. Mis autosse puutub, siis jälgi kuulutust: www.auto24.ee/soidukid/4001628 Selle hinnaga nkn kaubaks ei lähe ja varasemalt kuskil aprilli lõpp teen sama, mis Lexus'ega tegin - hakkan 10€ kaupa iga päev hinda alla laskma kuni keegi ära võtab.
It's quite alright for the money. All the basic functions like engine, gearbox, brakes, steering and blower motor work. Seats can be adjusted. Rest of it is luxuries anyway. 😀
M3 is a good example. Here in Germany . e92 M3 here 35-50.000. I bought mine in Uk for 9K, last week another one for 8k. Only the engine is 15.000 here.
Yes, sir. Parts business cars from UK is an age old thing - many of the junkyards here in Estonia have cars from UK (or to that extent - also Japan) for parts. Not too long ago I was discussing the same thing you brought out with a mechanic I know. He was thinking on buying a C5 RS6 - cheapest ones start from £6000 and based on his opinion the engine alone is 6000€. My main take was from the perspective of an individual like me who just wants to buy a car for personal use.
Saab ikka, Teie Kõrgeausus. Just paar päeva tagasi salvestasin ühe FB Marketplace'is müügil oleva UK LHD mint cond E39 530i Sport'i ära ja tahtsin teile seda siin saata, aga tundub, et tänaseks juba müüdud.
It's great to see a detailed account of your experience exporting cars from the UK to Europe. Your insights could be even more valuable if you included a brief comparison with other modes of car exportation, or if you discussed the regulatory changes post-Brexit in more depth. This would provide a more comprehensive understanding for viewers who might be considering similar endeavors.
Whereas your comment and attention to this video is much appreciated, the questions in your comment sorely point out that you really did not watch any of the video. Most if not all is on screen in plain numbers @ 1:38. Granted in Estonian but paraphrasing the words of famous Jules Winnfield: "Estonian, m*th*rf***r, do you speak it? I happen to know you do. In addition to that, what could be considered "regulatory" is discussed multiple times over and over in this video in spoken language. Also, I took time to display a couple of documents one does need to know about when exporting a car from the UK @ 8:19 & 9:59 and gave an oral explanation to why these documents are or might be important. Adding to that, I stress at least 3-4 times on what are the minimal physical changes for a car which are needed to register the car in Europe based on my experience with Estonia (also displayed clearly - in Estonian - @ 1:38). Lastly, I point out many times that this is just my experience, it is not a blueprint to everyone and the experience can and will vary mostly based on the location the car is headed to but there are some obvious other factors (if you listened to me in the first place) to which I can not give concrete, black and white explanations to. I have (managed) to do it the way I explain, I can not guarantee the same outcome to anyone else. Hence, like I started - do appreciate the comment and the attention commited to my work but... Maybe pay attention (LISTEN!) to the video first. Thank you.
Congrats on the bangle butt beemer! Those old fiver wheel never did it for me. The replacement is a lot nicer looking. I’ve always enjoyed BMW’s amber interior lighting. Nice to see you enjoying this car so much and taking us along.
Thanks for the support. It was 1700€ and despite it's clear assortment of shortcomings as a proper reliable car for someone else, to me there is so much car left for this money that I am currently enjoying every km I am putting on it. Especially healthy is it's engine - I got it up to a decent speed yesterday for a moment and later on tried to lay rolling 11s (asphalt was wet so calling it a "burnout" is way too far fetched) - it had no problem with either. Just sad that certain previous owner has ruined it past a point where it would make sense to put a little bit money into it.
Hea vaatamine. Huvitav mul oli üks e46 millel olid samasugused veljed all nagu sul video alguses. Oma silmas mäletan,et need vist olid e60/61 originaalid.
Mul sellest aspektist ei ole seisukohta, et kas üldsusel on õigus - enamus kipub samamoodi arvama. Mulle lihtsalt meeldib pre-LCI E65 ja sellest konkreetsest autost eriti mõistlikumat viisi ilmselt selle elamuse saamiseks ei ole.
No, kuidas võtta, Teie Kõrgeausus. Ma sain Lexus'ega rohkem miinust, kui ma selle auto eest maksin ja autot on siin oluliselt rohkem alles. Kas ma saan kulutatud raha tagasi? Pigem ei, aga see masin on minu arvates hea selle raha eest. Saan oma E65 maitse kätte. 🙂
Just nii, Teie Kõrgeausus. music.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D0qqjyY-v1U.html&si=TDmVJ7QDgm0HzOV8 Tahtsin seda kasutada, aga WMG on näpud taha saanud: music.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4tGA_QI2rDM.html&si=AP1y1EGDrgxeBLoO
Reminds me of the only thing snow was good for - when I was a kid on a three wheeler - except you don't have to worry about flipping (hopefully!) Cheers from texas (where 98% of the population would die if we got this much snow)
Rundown and I am not skipping any steps. What is not mentioned, does not happen. 1. Pick a car (or cars). 2. Get plane tickets. 3. Travel to the car. 4. Buy the car. 5. Only documentation I do is fill in the registry slip to get a V5C on my name which the last owner has to send to the DVLA. This is normal when buying a car within the UK. 6. Drive home: I prefer the ferry, EuroTunnel is boring If you are interested, my last car purchase: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vu3rB5j-Y5U.html
Lõbus mõte, peaks ka ise mingi öö tegema. Kahjuks Tartus on neid vähe ja üle linna laiali. Bolt Drivei moodi asi on põhimõtteliselt igas Euroopa riigis. Miks sulle parkimispiduri peale panemine ei meeldi?
"With the transmission in park (P), your vehicle LOCKS the transmission and prevents the wheels from turning. Always come to a complete stop before putting your vehicle into and out of park (P). When you switch the ignition off, your vehicle shifts into park (P)." Ehk, selleks pole mitte mingisugust vajadust. Njah, pole vajadust otsida olnud. Viimati kasutasin Turo't Kanadas sept 2019.
For Subaru, this is a normal track, especially since your WRX STI is turbocharged and the surface is still smooth under the snow. In Russia the snowdrifts are deeper and the Forester drives the same way. Video cool!!!
I did this in the woods last year, not cold enough this year yet too much mud still. Most get worried when it snows, I wake up like it's Christmas morning everything.:) upgraded to the 22 wrx last winter. Thx for the vid
