URGENT - DVLA/Govt. trying to legislate against moddified cars...

PLEASE everybody interested in being able to continue to engine swap, tube frame or significantly visually alter motor vehicles in the UK go to the DVLA web site and go through the nausea of completing thier online submission - also please request a copy of the consultation paper. Doesn't matter if you don't read it - they judge strength of public feeling on the number of them that the send out.

basically they are trying to screw anyone moddifying a car, and particularly those of us moddifying older cars (not allowing fitting of more modern components without having to re-register on a Q plate, having to go the SVA for your mods every time, etc.)

BTW kit means kit car built to original kit car spec not fitting a body kit.

Deadline is 19th July, they're sneaked this f*cker on us without any anouncement.

ALSO: please copy the link and post it on any other suitable web sites. The consultation list they have for this excercise includes such bodies as "The Christian Road Safety League" and RoSPA and the Vehicle Scrap Dismantlers Association, and not anyone to do with modifying cars or the moddified vehicle industry - need as much support for this as possible.

Spoon, its a whole process for you to register anything you have had done to your car if you wish to say on the right side of the insurance man, its gonig to be an optional thing they are gonig to trial for a while to stop people driving without insurance etc when they don't declare their mods etc.

And those bizarre eye lasses don't look standard and is that an extra twirl in that pig's tail.

DRIVING WITHOUT DELARING MODIFICATIONS AGAIN!
