Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: BikerGran on October 03, 2019, 11:33:48 AM What part of Spain? Thinking of sun and warm weather - envying you! Hope all goes well!
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: stinkey on October 03, 2019, 08:12:04 PM Yes Merv..finally sold the house...and cheers Mr Olds..I'm hoping the same thing u😁
Just above Alicante BG.. 30 degrees today 😎👍 Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: merv on October 06, 2019, 08:16:23 AM What have you done with the bike and trike, have you managed to sell the trike
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: stinkey on October 06, 2019, 07:24:13 PM Took both with me Merv..they caused quite a stir sat at the side of the road in a quiet Spanish town 😁👍😎
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: JayJay on October 07, 2019, 12:24:46 AM All the best in your new home after your long wait to get there. I'm sure you'll soon settle in and be acting like a native. Have fun.
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: stinkey on October 19, 2019, 07:01:45 PM Hey guys..were renting a place out here while we work on our little house..and the guy who owns it has given me a landrover discovery 1993..2.5 TDI..89000 miles on the clock..he just said pay the the back taxes and it's mine 😊
Runs sweet just needs a good run..wish I could put some pics up to show you 😥 Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: BikerGran on October 19, 2019, 09:32:41 PM Ha! Did you find out how much the back taxes were before you accepted?
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: stinkey on October 20, 2019, 06:46:53 AM Well apparently it's not been on the road since 2008 :o but they can only go back 4 years 🤞and going by the cost of second hand vehicles over here I should be saving money ? The steering box seems to have a major leak,but hopefully that's just new seals? The road up to the rental house warrants having a landrover 😁 if any of you have any information/advice on them please pass it on 👍😎
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: stinkey on October 20, 2019, 07:53:21 AM Second attempt..downloaded another app..this is the best I can do so far 🤔😁? It looks a lot cleaner now..I emptied the interior from all the accumulated rubbish that the owner had stored inside..including rat poison..spent 2 days cleaning the interior to fumigate it..cleaned and painted the wheels and bumpers/trim..can't wait to drive it properly. 😁
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 21, 2019, 08:22:49 PM So how are you settling in?
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: stinkey on October 22, 2019, 08:08:43 PM "Settling in " isn't how I'd describe it 😁 living in the rental place which is bigger than our own house means were living out of boxes still..but we do have cupboards and bathrooms and hot water (when the boiler works 🤞😂?)
It's totally off grid which is how our place will be once finished, but a tad bit more up to date 🤞😎 Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:09:28 PM Sounds cool!
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: stinkey on October 22, 2019, 08:16:23 PM Wasn't until yesterday..heavy rain storms have certainly COOLED it down now😁 the temporary shed (gazebo) collapsed into a broken sodden mess..meaning ive had to find homes for boxes and tools..unfortunately my trike and chopper are still underneath what's left of it😨
Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 22, 2019, 08:19:15 PM Ahh, the joys of House moving!
Stick with it mate. It'll be worth it once you're properly settled :) Title: Re: Moving (further) south 😎 Post by: stinkey on October 22, 2019, 08:20:29 PM Got no choice now ;D
