[Marocatlasgib4x4 Club]

Yes did go to see the cheif of customs at the spanish side but the administrator was not there and was not coming to work on the day.Was kept there for one hour to get a negative reply from a lady that we will not be able to pass the cars full of the materials for our Solidarity Raid.

We went to pass and we were kept at the border for over 2 hours cause they would not let as pass,their reason that we needed to produce a paper stating what we had in the vehicles and other documents,we went to get the documents but a Gibraltarian Gentleman passed with his car and asked what was happening to us,we told him the situation and he just said to wait a minute,he went to see the said lady and in three minutes we were passing the boarder,that shows you once again in life that "Its not who you are but who you know".
