2nd hand cars are generally more expensive on the main land yes. And whatever you do, don't buy one from www.jetcars.nl, they have a notoriously bad reputation. Thanks for the heads up. Apart from left hand mirrors and lights. What sorts of costs would be involved if I were to bring a UK car over? Ie register test plates etc?

Thank you for all the great replies guys. Much appreciated. Hope to meet you all at some point especially as we will eventually move to den Bosch to settle as the girlfrinds uwv is registered there.so very close to Eindhoven. Sadly won't be getting a car straight away as will have to get work etc but will defo ask you guys when I do. Just out of curiosity are any of you guys ex pats if so how long ago did you move. Have a few questions I'd love to ask as I'm sick of reading article on the net haha. Also are.there any good car forums like RR in Holland? I'll try send out a few PM's as well But again thanks. Makes me feel a little less alone knowing there are fellow rr's out there i'm not an expat, so can't inform on that, and to my knowledge, there's nothing like RR in the Netherlands. we have www.sportklassiek.nl were most of the dutch people from around Tilburg/Eindhoven hang around. We share a barn (earlier mentioned allready) and use(d) the forum to communicate, but that site has gone a bit quiet lately Just stay on here and join in the fun someday in our barn, maybe we can setup a small dutch RR meetup in the south somewhere, as most of the dutchies on here seem to come from below the rivers A meet would be great

Hello! I'm also from the Netherlands, and also region Eindhoven. Thé automotive capital of the Netherlands. So you are not going to be the only car-freak over here, haha. This is good to know. I will have to move to den Bosch quicker. But I've the feeling being a Londoner I'm gonna fall for Rotterdam

Why do you ask for dutch forums when there are so many english speaking kaaskops here on RR already? Or do you speak nederlands already? Ik neit sprekt Nederlands Haha that's a badly educated guess. It could be something apart from neit I forget. I have been learning yes. Tough learning a language at 34 but also great fun. As for why I ask about the forums I just think its always nice to be a bit more integrated. Also meets etc. And always bargain cars. Is it just me is everything 1500 euro and under 300,000 miles or more. Seems nothing like.the UK market for fun cars. But I could be wrong. Just seems you have more of a dealer network there. I could be wrong tho I've all this to learn. Also I know kaas is cheese (I have fallen in love with old cheese salad haha) Not sure on the other word though.

4 borbet bs 16x9 4x100 won't need as I'm going 5x100 one has some damage and a slight buckle and some have curbing hence price. But all are balanced spot on with no wobble so it's purely cosmetic fitment is spot on fit fine on a lowered car. Mine is maybe too Low so there is a little scrubbing on the rear side walls. This could be rectified with slightly narrower tyres 200 is what I'll take cash Firm on price no offers. Will swap for something nice in 5x100 grab a bargain
