    Hi, not sure if this is in the right area but...

    I was getting the ferry from holyhead to dublin recently and customs/security on the UK side opened the bonnet of the car and had a good look inside with a torch. They only glanced into the boot and rear of the car. Irish audi a5, native irish driver.

    Any ideas???????????? :confused:

    Why would they examine the engine thoroughly and barely give the far bigger spaces in the car a glance?

    Perhaps they wished to check the VIN to see if it was stolen or had false plates. .

    Probably checking for drugs. Ireland is often used as a smuggling route for the bringing cocaine into the uk and Europe.
