If you haven't owned it for at least 6 months, it will not be considered part of your chattels (or whatever the term is) and you WILL have to pay matricualtion tax, based on CO2 emissions and depreciated value. More info available on other threads blah blah blah.....
Too much hassle!

Ah. Thanks. Can see that's definitely too much hassle factor to import a vehicle. Must do some work now.

The car thing - don't do it. It is possible, but HASSLE. I know lots of people who have done it and they are now wearing jackets that do up at the back!

Thanks Max. Decided that already. We need to learn by these poor characters in jackets.

Thanks Morerosado. You have a great one too.
Actually an amazing day here today. (Has been great for 6 weeks - no rain) Must be all of 25 degrees, the Bullies are laying in the sun, (keeping a one eye lookout for the gardener - they enjoy their little harrassing game every so often). My daughter arrives from the UK on Saturday, so I have tried hard to book this good weather for her. Hope it holds. Right now, our winter seems to be better than her summer.

Last thought on the job subject.......
If you have to work to maintain your sanity (I have already said that you won't NEED to - not that I'm jealous!) you could do beginners classes in IT for the Brits - you know - this is called a keyboard, this is the monitor. There are thousands of retirees out here who have never touched one, but would like to keep in touch with family by MSN or whatever. Would keep you off the street corners, and put a few bob in the beer kitty. You can also explain sessions in php to me!!.
Hope you can read this Bob.

Ivor - This has nothing to do with living in Spain.......
I HATE Bill Gates.
I have spent all morning working in Word (with auto - backup set at every 5 mins) when it froze - and guess what - it's backed up b$$$$$r all!
This message doesn't require a response!
Unless you're called Bill of course.

I'm rather glad Bill is in Spain. That way, I get to collect Beer money. Training also a good idea. Once I know how PHP works, will let you know. You now know, not to rely on autosave. There are only two types of compiuter users. Those who have lost data and those who will.
Sorry Bob. Here it is again. Also a good idea. Once I know how PHP works, will let you know. There are only two types of compiuter users. Those who have lost data and those who will.

Hi Ivor
What really annoys me is that I back up everything on a portable hard drive, and on CD. I learnt all that in the '80s.
So- yes - I'm really angry with myself, not Bill. I now have a tic which clicks on "save" every 10 seconds!

Well Folks, hello again.
Been a while. We have now taken the plunge and arrive in Spain for a look see on 13th November. 3 weeks to suss out the land and glean as much as we can. Will no doubt have more questions as we go. Just a thought. Should I cart my notebook with me or are there plenty of internet cafe's where I can check mail etc.
Regards,
Ivor

Another Question to the endless list.
Spending 3 weeks in Spain from the 11th Nov. I think the way to go is to get a local sim card for the duration. If I use my own, (South African ISP), I'm in for an arm and a leg on roaming fees. Any suggestions on the best place to go. Arriving in Malaga and staying in La Cala, Costa Mijas. I know that if one buys a local card (pre paid package) here at one of the Johannesburg International Airport rip off artists, the cost is Euro10. If you buy one at the supermarket, Tesco equivilent, 50cents. (Literally). You then simply buy a re charge . What should I look for or Maybe, where should I look ?

Hi Ivor
In La Cala there is a very good English run shop where you can get a PAYG phone card. It is located just behind the Supersol Supermarket in the middle of town. Any one will direct you there.
Spanish law insists that you provide Identification (passport) when purchasing. Prices are cheap and can be topped up anywhere.
Hope this helps
