I have been here just about a year now and suffered that cold and snowy Winter that is now behind us. I noticed that most of the locals stayed in and I didn't blame them one bit. However me being who I am can get cabin fever as I did last Winter and wished that I had never sold my snow mobile before leaving Canada and I am thinking of buying another one.I have seen chugging around my village all sorts of vehicles that looked like they have been knocked up in the garden shed and seem to drive around the village without any police attention being paid to these vehicles.Now I am all for that so long as they don't escape from the confines of the village and get onto the main roads.My question is that if I buy a snow mobile and use for going around the village let's say to get bread from the village store would this be illegal and would it draw the attention of the village policeman?

This should be interesting.

I should imagine it would depend on a couple of things. One of them being that you are not Bulgarian and there will (probably) be one rule for them and one for "
rich"
incomers, human nature. The other would be how much your vehicle benefited the local community, in fetching shopping, seeing to animals etc that they don't feel the need to go out and do themselves. But if you go stir crazy being by the fire in a harsh winter, you might welcome being of use to the villagers. I think it would all depend on how you use it.

not sure on this one, i have seen lawn mower powered modes of transport in the villages, quite amusing but they work. i think the concern would be a snowmobile is a high powered vehicle therefore there will be rules in place for usage. you need to clarify what those are. c but if you can use one that would be a great way of getting about. g

I agree with starlite I think it would depend on the power you had, I see plenty of funny looking vehicles around which seem to run on mower engines and no one takes any notice I have also see these things in other countries to.

The favourite down my way is the rotary hoe with the tine attatchment removed and a tow ball fitted [takes less than fives mins to change over]. They then hook up a trailer which has a seat on the front and off they go. We often have visits from an old couple who live on the other end of our village..he drives and she sits on a sofa in the trailer!! I often see similar 'vehicles' on our country roads, so I guess the coppers don't bother them much. They putt along at about 20 mph.

Quad bikes are quite popular in my village but I don't know what they are like in snow. Possibly not that good with the big fat tyres but I have seen them towing sledges and people on snowboards.
