James Cook Forum

Dear JC friends,

I present my self as new owner of NCV3 JC, living in Belgium, french speaking.
The JC is bought near Nurenberg.
I like windsurfing and mountainbike and hope the JC will be very helpfull in the accomplishment of my hobbies.

I appreciate the easy way to get temporary registration plate in Germany and I'm now starting the (long?) process to get Belgian registration documents and plates.

Yesterday, i went to the technical control (equivalent of your TÜV) and tare weight on the balance was 3090kg.
Very important because belgian car-driver licence is limited to 3500kg.
Before going to the control, I removed :
- the marquee
- the 2 gel batteries
- the bike carier
and all the little parts non necessary (rear tablet, tyre repair kit, matrassen and so on).

I understood one full month is necessary to get my registration plate; it's long.

Hope to send you you some pictures in the next month.

I don't write German but read it if not to complicated

Friendly.

Vincent

Hallo Vincent

wir freuen uns immer, das James Cook Fahrer aus der Nachbarschaft sich hier einfinden. Im Forum wirst du von JC Freunden der NCV3 Serie sicherlich bei Tipps und anderen Infos beraten. Also Willkommen
Vielleicht sehen wir uns mal bei einem Treffen.
Gruß
Wilan

Bonjour,

Félicitations pour l'acquisition de ce James Cook, qu'il vous enmène et vous fasse voyager pour de longues années ...

A propos du contrôle technique, effectivement le poids du véhicule y est controlé, et pour notre James Cook de 1997, le poids à vide est de 2920 kg,

Si un jour Westfalia décide de produire un nouveau James Cook, qu'il reste sous la barre des 3500 kg, pour tous ceux qui possèdent un permis B

Passez de belles vacances en James Cook, et au plaisir de se croiser sur les routes belges...

Alexandre

thanks Wilan,

merci Alexandre;
j'affronte demain la DIV avec les documents allemands; l'Europe n'est pas encore simple ...

I'll give more information once the Van will be registred. It seems not to be easy. CE is like a dream.

Now is the JC registred in Belgium.

First week end in Netherland, because of windsurf, of course ...

what a luxury feeling, a hot shower after a cold windsurf session
