Till we meet again

This was our beloved BMW being towed away, to be deregistered and to then get an export permit for it. I just snapped this in an instant and obviously didn’t get good focus, but I liked the composition best of the pictures I took. More problems await in Washington, because the title is in German. I can’t even imagine how the DC motor vehicle department will deal with that (or maybe I can, meaning it will be a very long time before we have use of our car again).

A sweet 135 Coupe, I'd trade my Mercedes for this anytime. DMV should help you out on this, shouldn't be a big problem as long it's US spec. V

You will have to keep us posted as to how long it takes for DC DMV to figure it out!

Be patient Helen, time heals all wounds, It's just a car.

Maybe you can give the Washington DMV a Google translation of the title! But then again that might add years...

It seems like a very complicated and trying time.

Good luck with the DMV, Helen. I really like this photograph ~V~

I don't envy what you have ahead of you, Helen. But it will all work out. Terrific images.

Yikes, I didn't realize how complicated it would be to take this car to the US! Good luck. V

Patrick Goossens		26-May-2016 21:29
Maybe you should by a new one for a new start!

What a nice car Helen, I hope for you that everything goes well and they make it fast in order in DC BV

I hope they don't scratch it along the way. :)

One careful owner! v

Here, it would be up to the owner(s) to get a translation! Beautiful set of wheels, well worth the hassles to export

Helen, this all sounds like a nightmare!!
