I bought a car in Germany and we drove it around Europe for a month in 2001. I had friends there who helped me set things up, and it was a bit of a runaround, but we managed. I had to have two sets of temporary license plates because they only lasted 2 weeks each. These had the yellow tags on the right showing the expiration, and for the export I had the red tag license plates. I signed up for the German Auto Club the ADAC and I think the insurance was handled through them, and we used my friends local address.
It was a lot of fun. We camped as much as we could including right in a vineyard in Bordeaux France. Met some friends in Spain, and drove fast on the Autobahn.
Anyway this was a while back so things might have changed since...
