Our move to Austria has been mostly seamless in red tape terms, but we've been well and truly tied up in it when it comes to the car. This week we finally achieved Austrian plates, having overcome hurdles such as - the make and model of our car does not exist, if it did exist it certainly wouldn't exist as an LPG conversion, if it is an LPG conversion then it certainly shouldn't have a tow bar. After a year's worth of fun phonecalls, faxes, emails and meetings it will cost us over £2000, plus a special bonus £50 for the huge dossier that the tax man has had to compile for our case.
