French douane

czechmate · Feb 8, 2022

So, I arrived at the douane with this, parked the wrong side so even had to lean over the drum to show my passport etc.
“Have you bought anything while you were in the UK sir!”
“No”
“Ok, have a nice day, goodby”

Maybe if @bobk didn’t wear his “I hate France” T shirt/attitude, he wouldn’t have the problems he does

They were probably too busy pissin themselves that someone was daft enough to put a combine concave in the back of a car

Yes, I hope so... although I can’t say as Mrs Czech has had chance to check out her shopping trolley yet

I'm minded of me just after I got my licence... in a 'rush' I picked up a load of pickup tines for a cousin's old Bamford and, literally, threw them in the back of my mother's fairly new car...

You know those really awkward conversations you sometimes have to have...? Delightful vinyl back then, and the obvious happened; several holes and lots of nearly holes; wasn't allowed to use her car for ages.

btw - are you at all familier with the parts of a combine?
Can’t really see if we need to do anything with the “concave” until the drum is out

... and, a concave would of been an easy fit

yea. Thirsk is 740 miles from here, maybe a bit extreme for a 1 day rally

. ...
But then, I figure, once you stop putting the effort into life, it’s a rapid slippery slope

next up, pretty close to you (and my car)

Thirsk? Pretty, and used to have some decent pubs, went there now and then when I was in Catterick.
