Thanks for all the info - it looks like my car will have to stay in the UK
for now - it'll cost too much to bring it here for an extended holiday!
I guess my holiday money will have to be spent driving somewhere else then
It's a shame there's no provision for having it here for a few months, but
what did I expect - they clearly want me to buy a car with Danish plates and
pay them the tax! Well that's not going to happen as I can't afford another
car and there is no way I'm letting my current one go...
