Soooo…. the shipping line has delayed delivery to Antwerp again (this is not unusual). When I arranged shipping expected delivery was Nov 30, now it is Dec 17. This is just too close to the holidays and Mrs needs me here then since I cook for the family.
I am not willing to ship over the winter due to crappy weather here and there and I do NOT want salted roads.
Targeting April 2024. Sigh.
Actually this does not affect travel in 2024 but dang it I want the euroBus over in Europe!

Just think of all the extra thing you get to do to (for?) it over the winter

Worth checking, AFAIK you cannot have a foreign registered vehicle in Netherlands for more than a specific period (I think 3 months?) before you must remove it or register it in NL. I would definitely NOT recommend running on fake plates or taking plates off - you may run the risk of having the car confiscated and crushed. Also your insurance will probably/may not be valid?
I've imported and registered a T3 in NL and got a NL plate and it is not hugely problematic - based near amsterdam right now and happy to help if I can?

Good info, but with 180 days in the Schengen Zone, who would spend 3 months in the. Netherlands?

yes true, however if the vehicle is parked near amsterdam while Dobyran is out of the country then that 12 weeks maximum may quickly add up - just trying to help on what sounds like a great adventure idea.

So much for shipping out of Baltimore!  What are your options?
