Only want a car

Been out looking at cars what should be a pleasure I always find a chore, the wandering around , up down in out trying to get the measure of how much your going to be ripped off , all that and the language barrier and then for good measure its not easy to spend money in Spain apparently I need to register and get a NIE before I can spend on a car and provide an income to the agent allowing him to provide for his family. So car buying is off and trying to get registered is on , having only been here 3 weeks I was not expecting to have to do this just yet , but apparently you have to do this within 90 days ? My neighbour back in the uk used to go to benidorm for 6 months every winter and never registered for anything and drove his own uk car both ways ?
So I'll have to sort out medical cover for the lovely wife and I and then go 100 miles to the office collect he form go home 100 miles fill it in go back to the office 100 miles collect a form to go to the bank 100 miles pay the bill go home 30 miles then go back to the office 100 miles to collect my registration and home 100 miles , 630 miles 1013km . It would appear that the form is not available on line from a official source as that would save a journey. Unless you know different ?
I had a run out with the camera to Cabo de Gata , we have a pleasant afternoon on the beach snapping away running through all the manual settings & reading the book a lot ! No wonder they make em automatic out of a couple of hundred shots only a handful turned out when the combination of settings worked out. So that done back to the course to see what I learned because I'm not sure LOL.
