    Default MM Dronten to the UK parts run - who needs rare Nova bits?

    Hi all,

    seeing as I'll be over in the UK to attend a wedding, I might just as well bring over bits from Opel parts specialists www.mmdronten.com who are local to me.

    Should you need anything from them, simply order it with them and tell Niek from Lelystad will bring it over to the UK for a modest fee. In the past, this has worked splendidly for fellow PNG members, so why not do it again? Saves you massively on P&P and you get a chance to sample Holland's finest waffles.

    UPDATE: this morning I spoke with the friendly people at MM Dronten and they explained they have about 5,000 items in their webshop. They have another estimated 15,000 items that are not yet online so if it's not on their website, send them an e-mail to see if they have it!

    Below you find the map and itinerary of where I'll be going. And when. I am willing to make a bit of a detour, but don't expect me to drop off a couple of headlamp clips in John o'Groats.

    Map


    Itinerary
    Thursday the 21st of August: Dover => London => Alvaston => Brierley Hill => Swansea
    Sunday the 24th of August: Swansea => Exmouth
    Monday the 25th of August: Exmouth => Dover

    Please understand that I can't bring full rear quarters or any other massive parts because I'll be travelling in this...


    It's a VW Lupo 3L (no it doesn't have a 3 litre engine - I bloody wish!)


    PM in case you have any questions.

    Cheers,
    Niek

    Boot space is quite limited, but I managed to get a full interior, 4 alloys with tyres and a suitcase in.

    Ski boxes will only be used for transporting mothers-in-law.

    Bit off topic... but that's the super eco version isn't it? Can I ask what the best mpg you've achieved is? I got 71 from my Arosa TDi but it was quite painful!
