this bloke is an @rse, they are trying to impliment so many things now to stop people doing stuff there selves, why i dunno, cause there all bored sat on there fat @rses in parilment?

i know it sounds stupid, but i can see in the future the 'anywork carried out' part of it, not just on classics but on every day to day drives too, will have to be undertaken by a 'approved garage/mechanic', similar to the way the electrical regulations are changing next year, basically to stop know nothing numpties doing stuff what they are incapable of doing and blowing stuff up etc, and if they do there house insurance etc will become invalid, i hope it never dose come in on cars cause i do nearly all my stuff my self and i think i would loose interest!!.

if who ever started all the 'no win no fee' stuff ten years ago i doubt anything like this or on many other things would even be considered, as over 70% of all the people have no injuries etc anyways there just doing it for the money... :rolleyes:

It wont get through. Labour dont have the majority to put these things through any more.

If it did come through then you'd find France offering to register UK cars just like they did with the hauliers.

Folks,

We'd need to get organised on this to have an effect. Does anyone know if any classic org's are drafting a set piece letter to allow folks to print out and send to this chap?

Cheers,

Drew.

If in years to come this sort of thing ever does go through parliament. In theory, it would mean the tens of thousands of 'modified' cars need to be PUT BACK TO NORMAL with oem parts through approved fitters. That will mean instant scrap material for modified cars worth £10,000+

If this wasn't the case. How will police/inspectors know which parts have been recently modified, or modified before legislation came in.

 :shocked: They can't possibly be serious  :angry:

It would cause uproar right across the country. I don't think they'll have the balls to put it through parliment  :tongue:
