Exeter Kit Car Show 27/28th October 2012

I don't think they meant to spray the hinges Micha, I think it is just a bit of overspray

Deffinatly overspray, the TUV would not be happy with that!

Actually Micha, I asked for them to be sprayed the same as the car as that was my preference. I appologise for not consulting with you on this matter. Cock!

G46 registration changes

The car was inspected a few weeks ago now and had no problems at all. Gary took it down to the Bournmouth station I believe.


Gaz, have you any idea what needs to be in place before the change in registration can be completed, ie body, lights, etc.
I have also heard via another source that vehicle registrations may be changing in 2013 due to EU fiddling.

HM, the body needs to be bonded in place but that is all, doesnt even need the bonnet.

I have also heard via another source that EU fiddling will present a problem however a third source tells me that the original source is a cock and there is actually nothing to worry about.

As always, local VOSA stations can often not have a clue what they are talking about which can be very annoying to say the least. Im not sure if any inspections have gone through more locally to you but Andy tells me that Preston VOSA are very good and helpfull which although far from local its a lot nearer than Bournemouth should you need to go elsewhere.

Hi micha, it was sprayed by me, and yes it was me being lazy. But i only had a week and a half to fill and get some paint on the car . It give s people a better
example to see all the curves and as for the hinges we run out of time to sort out better examples and just got even lazier and painted them.
For 99 percent of people on here will understand this, but what ive seen from you , your just a bit of a know it all. So now ive pointed this out please go and try and get a life:baby:

Gaz that's great info, I do like the word "cock" one of the gems of the English language that passes other by.

HM, AH what do you think of getting a joint booking down Poole way to have our cars done sooner rather than later? might be totally impractical but worth mentioning.

My car has a V8 in it which has not been changed on the V5 yet, does anyone know if it has to have engine and box in place for the inspection.?

Engine number is checked at the inspection, but on another posting there was those who had no problem with replacement number not being on the log..

No need for outside handles unless there is to be a roof on the car.
