Finally after one week we are home in Birzebuga! If you are planning to go with car and trailer down to Malta i strongly recomend you NOT to do that. You should neither take the opportunity to experience Italy on that trip! I have done a lot of ...
I totally agree with you on that. But i had no intension on saying no to the guy when he offered me a good deal on a internet connection. If there was any wrong doing it was done on his side of the counter! I think he saw a non working system where ... Read More

It was NOT a fake id we used. It was our passport and he stated we were Maltese residents. And in fact we are residents but still waiting for our id card etc. In any other question the goverment should say that our intention was to stay in Malta and ... Read More

Praparations is everyting but there are regulations on how big trailer you can pull with a car. There is no regulations on how much your wife can load though! My opinion on Ryan Air is, if you pay peanuts- you get monkeys! They have there ... Read More

If the last MOT states 120 000 miles and on arrival to the island the odometer says 80 000, then somethings wrong! But if the odometer says the same as the MOT, should not that be satisfying enough? "Normally" you can see on a car if the odometer ... Read More

East or west coast of Italy
No jacuzzi but a 125cc 6 speed gokart. 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and top speed of 175 km/h! Ferarri or a Lamborghini dont make any difference, they screwed when it comes to acceleration! Hillclimb this year Julian? Read More
East or west coast of Italy
Hi Julian Thanks for the advice. The cost for Brenner pass is only 8.50e so i think we go for the faster west coast route then! Our 4 bedroom penthouse is now compressed in to a 9 cubic meter trailer! It will be a slow ride anyway so a faster route ... Read More
East or west coast of Italy
I am planning the route down to Pozzallo and down to Brenner there is no problems, i think! From Brenner i can choose the "cheaper east coast or the "faster" west coast. The downside with the faster route is roadtax! Is there any experience on ... Read More

Car registration, insurance, etc. for a tourist not yet resident by Lusco
Can the VRT registration, Maltese number plates, road tax and insurance be processed for a person that is going to be a resident in Malta in the next months but is still a tourist; or the only way to do so is once you a resident? Thanks
If you are a tourist on the island you can buy a car, register it on your self if you got an adress. Insurance is no problem either. The problems starts if you move to the island and pretend to be a tourist! We own a UK registred Volvo and it is now ... Read More

Snus by Maltom
We swedish do like our snus, but paying 60 m Euro is way to much to bribe a single person? I want it but not at any cost! Have you trie snus? You UK fanatics!!
Yes its a Swedish tobacco product! I was more reflecting over that it seems possible to suggest a 60m bribe if you are a Maltese politician? The political corruption on Malta seems more or less ligit? Read More
