sorry to hijack this thread, but is there a limit to how much booze and ciggies you can get?

Used the german bay many times, postage is sometimes quicker than royal snail uk.
Anything you need translating just use babel fish, most languages are on there.

If you log onto the HM Customs and Excise (VAT) website I think they publish the maximum amounts you can bring back. BE AWARE though IT MUST BE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. My mate got stopped with some cigs/tabacco and booze, when questioned he admitted that some of it was for his brother - they confiscated the lot!! Other mate with him said it was definately ALL for himself and he had no probs. Live and learn.

I bought two engines at the same time this year. Postage from Germany was cheaper than the one from the uk!
German engine was in much better condition too, less or no salt on the roads?
