I've brought the car by trailer from the UK to Switzerland. Have just picked up some winter wheels, but ebay LHD lights have not arrived yet so the car is still sitting in the garage. I've only driven it to take it off the trailer and put it in the garage. I would really like to drive it, but the closest substitute is to sit in it and go brum brum, which I confess I do quite a bit. Is that sad?

No! Not sad at all.

How about putting some stickers on, and go for a drive? http://www.speedster...lightadjust.pdf

Thanks for posting that, but the trouble is, it has no insurance, and only UK plates and I have no UK address to register it to. So until it's booked for a test and insured I can't drive it legally. Should be able to by the end of next week though.

Thanks for the reassurance about my level of sanity. I shall carry on going brum brum knowing I'm not knuts.

Sadly not near Verbier. I live near Luzern and work in Zurich.

Great ski resort Verbier. Will look you up if I go there this winter. Won't be in the VX though - no room for ski's!

(Yes, I have seen the ski rack thread. Thought it was hilarious, but I'll be taking my other car.)

My friend used to work there =) free accomodation and food was great!

He has a house in Lausanne I think.

Woohoo, final item for the MOT purchased. Just need the headlams to arrive and I'll be off to the MOT station. My days of just sitting in it are soon to be over.

I wish. It has taken ages to sort out. Not that it really matters as the weather has been more appropriate for my other car.

Here's the poor little thing waiting for it's MOT, which thankfully is next week.

...I assume you've been clearing the snow off it, and starting it up.

Yes.

It's actually been in the garage mostly. But it needed an emission test so I put it on the trailer.

Good luck with the MOT.
