fook that rs is cheap at 700 noop

 

[Arfur]

must be something dodgy at that price!

 

[slinky2000]

even the sierra cossie at 2500

 

[paddymcc]

Do they still do the boat to the IOM from Liverpool or dublin?

 

[Gambit]

you'd think that but there's nothing dodgy about the prices, you pick up cars over there cheap as chips

and 5k a year is average miles for them!

 

[Gambit]

Do they still do the boat to the IOM from Liverpool or dublin?

they do belfast, Dublin & liverpool

only costs a £75-90 for car & 1 person

 

[Tufty]

indeed cars r cheap in the isle of man was nearly goin to buy one not so long ago while over on hols

 

[paddymcc]

Any idea how long the ferry from Belfast is?

 

[Tufty]

ruffly 2 hrs 30 mins by seacat

 

[Gambit]

aye 2 & 3/4 hours

 

[Lexx]

Whats the craic re bringing it back, just a case or reregistering it in NI or are there any fees involved, im over there quite a bit, could fly over drive back, but afaik the ferry only runs in the summer months.

 

[Lyons]

would you need to re-register it? surely isle of man is part of the UK?

 

[Tufty]

isle of man is its own country afaik notin to do with the uk tho gambit could tell u more as i think he is from there r else he has lived there for a while

 

[Bibby]

the isle of man is part of the uk, but has it's own residency if you know what i mean, they have there own style plates and all, they can be driven on our roads, but if owned by someone constantly driving on our roads, they need re registered to our plates, which the dvla will do for free, same as getting an english registered car changet to ni plates is free, so that aint a problem!

Are you back yet ?

 

[Gambit]

the cars need re-registered and MOT'd (stacks of chance getting an MOT date!!)

Bibby box - never knew they done it for free though?? are you certain?

but you can run manx plates up until the current manx tax on the car runs out

so ideally you could tax the car over there for a year (£80 odd quid flat rate) then run it over here for a year no probs - that what im doing at the mo - plus you get to run cool black & silver plates!!

if the car hasnt been taxed over there for 2 or 3 years then it needs re-tested to be on manx roads -so stay away from things like these

 

[skiman_1]

things like the rs turbo and the sapphire obviously arent in good condition...altho we should all mission over and buy them all for cheap cheap..

 

[Gambit]

just on the cossie, its problems are......

straight from horses mouth...

"It needs the boot sprayed as i've just bought a new one (other was rusty), its got a ding on the front drivers wing, and needs new front drive shafts.

Could do with the front bumper spayed but isn't too bad, and some new tappets"

 

[D.T.T.B.]

as far as i know you need an I.O.M. sva cert when you bring one in from there. saw it on a site when i was helping gill sort her supra out the other day....theres a sva for japananese imports european imports and I.O.M. imports...depending on wot car i think.

 

[Gambit]

its a bit of a muddle, depends if its been registered as UK or NI car before being registered on the Isle of Man

[Dermot]

Im Confused ... I thought the Isle of man was part of the UK...?

Meaning that it would be just as handy to bring a car in from it and it would be from England ? Same with Jersey?

was just thinking that. they have those crazy "J12345" plates thoguh :?

 

[V1PER]

sound good but thers no pics...

 

[skiman_1]

its very easy to get your hands on a set of drive shafts for a cosworth,boys on the ford forums would probably give you them for free...
