Thanks for that Ron, yes I have OGEL since they first came out . Just a usless piece of paper in fact the lady at Spire told me not to show it to the customs office as it might cause confusion , only show it asked for.
The disappointment is fact they can't go on the road in France . I have in the past done some charity road runs from London to Paris using CVRTs , there was none of these problems in fact I even had 2 police motorcycle excorts meet us at the bottom of the ramp off the ferry . They escorted us round the town of Calais , left us at the town limit and that was it for 2 days . We had loads of police go past but know issues .
Just a shame but I'm not paying the transport cost just to have them on static display . You can bet when I get over there in the jeep or Bedford there will be French armour every where !
Roll on September and the trip to Holland !!! That is going to be the high light of the year .
