Whitean3, Mepriana and other,

Thank you very much for taking the time to write back, much appreciated.

1. I'll just park in the blue zone, as I live near Stucki in Kleinhunningan
2. 1 year's time will give me a lot of time to organis that, and hopefully by that time I should be fluent in German too
3. I checked with my current insurer Direct Line and they cover up to 3 months 3rd party and theft. Maybe, I'll take the car back to UK every 3 months to get another 3 months European cover.
4. This is going to be tricky, as I think I'll have to drive through France (expensive toll roads) or Germany, via Luxembourg and Belgium complying various driving regulations such as carrying a triangle, bright yellow jacket and speed camera search turned off on my satnav. Anyone interested in travelling with me to UK? We'll split the fuel and I can assure you that I'm not a British psycho in Basel.

Cheers, Kashim
