As some of you are aware ystdy morning whilst dropping off Sandra and her son into Gibraltar I was stopped on the way out and the Spanish customs took my car off me due to some made up bureaucracy that because I had temporary import plates and had left EU territory i now have to pay the VAT again on the vehicle and a sanction for driving across the border so now they are asking for over 13,000€ for me to be able to retrieve my car in a period of 3 working days.

As you can all imagine i am pulling my hair out trying to find the funds in such a short period of time so that i can get the car out without incuring further costs of a tow truck and inpoundment fees which will start after this Wednesday 25th April.

All I ask of my friends and family is if you could help me out in any possible way with whatever amount you can give to help me in recovering my car from this total injustice that has been done. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart in advance for any help you give me.

Eternally grateful Richard Pinedo ❤️
