So to update you guys as Dutch is running around like a headless chicken
Here is what is happening and why Dutch is so stressed

Apart from NOT being able to get the export papers he has had to leave the "PRECIOUS" to us to sell
We were fortunate enough to have a buyer with the RIGHT money and it was in cash, so Dutch does NOT have to leave completely empty handed

SAD, but at least the costs are covered and a little profit in it for him too
We thought it a great idea to introduce you all to the NEW owner of "e-BOBBIE"

And then there were 2....
And Bobbie actually made it off the ramp by herself.....not like lazy Mo!
Down side of all this is that Bobbie has some damage from the shipping and they now tell me the insurance that they sold me was "Total Loss Only". So if the container had fallen off the ship, then I was covered!
Anyway, they are here and I have found a good mechanic (BeetleLink) in Farnham (4 miles away) so she's already booked in for 11th May!
