I have driven in both France and Germany for over 30 years now. RHD cars all of them. Never had a problem. I just re arrange the passenger side mirror further out so you can see further down the road. No problems overtaking or pulling out, after signalling of course. I took a Metcedes 320 sports over to my son in Germany just before last Christmas, and he registered it over there after changing the headlights on it so it would dip correctly for the continent. It passed all requirements, mot etc and had its German number plate in around4 weeks.

We ship most items abroad within reason.
If you need parts not available abroad, we can either supply or source for you in the UK and ship abroad at cost. We can supply both quality used or new. Prices should be quite competitive at the moment due to the low value of the pound against the euro/dollar so it is a good time to buy You can either view items in my ebay shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/SouthDevons...cialist?_rdc=1 or PM me direct. |

Not really. I live here and maybe go through a toll booth once every two or three years.
I can drive from half way down France up to the channel on motorways all the way without seeing even one toll both. There are LOTS of toll free motorways.---------- |

Or if you do go through lots of toll booths, get one of the transponder gizmos that just charge the toll your account.

The trouble is you can lose track of those ONCE A YEAR things just when you need it most.---

Nope the French didn't want us it seems! Tried to rent a place but the British State Pension is not enough to meet teh law and it's requirements on rents so we said "up yours Froggies" and are moving to Bulgaria instead. Rented a house in Ruse no problems just trying to sort out car shipping to get them here. Due to the high cost of buying decent cars here shipping the Rover 75 CDT and the MGF over makes sense even though they are RHD.

Presumably you attempted to rent via an estate agent. Try the expat sites (anglo info, United in Brittany, united in Normandy, Facebook etc). There are loads of Brits willing to let their properties out on a more informal basis - particularly during the winter when their gites are sitting empty. |
