Sheesh!
Lighten up Cleland! It sounds like what the OP did was entirely legal - he went up to the border and had all his paperwork checked and was allowed to proceed.
You seem to treat legality as a black and white thing - it rarely is, otherwise there wouldn't be a need for lawyers. I bet you you can't show me anywhere that explains exactly what jurisdiction applies when people change ownership between borders; or indeed it's hard to argue what country the change of ownership actually takes place when you transfer UK registration for a vehicle that's located in another country.
I'd agree with you this would be a different matter if we were discussing the best way to sell a 1kg of cocaine to 4 year olds, but in this case it's about people getting on and enjoying life with no harm to others. Are you saying the world would have been a better place if the OP had spent 6 months arguing with Aduana and paying some ridiculous sum in fines? Lighten up and have a good weekend!
