Hi thanks for the link,god its dear here, cheapest thing I saw was a 91 polo at 950 euros ! not going to get many blocks etc in that ? yes drive down seems best(cheapo Transit) ;D but the cost of fuel ,ferry, compaired to flying would be the main prob, plus the 2 1/2 day drive from North Yorks !! anyway still a pipe dream at moment as struggling here let alone the dream  life in Spain,saying that it still does me good to have a few days strimming, but boy was it hot over there last week how do you all cope ?
