Guys,
I'm a little way off passing my driving test (finally getting round to do it after many years of being too busy / living where there is decent public transport).
Anyway - when I finally pass - I wish to head over on the ferry from Holyhead as a foot passenger, buy a second hand car, and drive it back over.
One main thing I want to do however is to keep the Southern Reg on the vehicle for as long as I possibly can (permanently hopefully).
Main questions are these though: is there anything I should be aware of when buying a second hander from Ireland, what kind of price would I be looking to pay in total for a decentish small car of about 10 years age, what docs will I need to get a hold of when the deal goes through, what procedures I need to be aware of, etc.
Have read about something connected with the Reg involving a time period of 6 months use outside of Ireland - can someone fill me in on this?
Any help would be superb.
