You must have a magic car to cross the channel without boarding a ferry or train Stravinski. Some of us jump aboard our faithful steed, tie her into a comfortable berth on the ferry, ease her up the ramps on arrival and ................... burn rubber heading in a southerly direction past all the little tin boxes stuck in the traffic jams. Forget the 4x4, the 2x1 is much faster and more fun.

Errr... well I dont know about you but I live in Spain (as the OP is wanting to) and I quite happily cross borders here without jumping on a ferry!

Thanks for the responses all, and for helping with advice. I'm afraid I don't have much advice as my company's lawyers handled most it. All I can say is that the timeline for my process was very similar to that of kronos - about 7 months overall.

I finally made it here last month and got an apartment last week, so slowly things are taking shape

In some respects I agree (being a 3 bike owner) - BUT serious distance work in the rain is not something I enjoy any more - nor do I like stopping so often to refill.
