Maybe I'll keep the 2nd plate under my seat and say it just fell off or something, if I'm stopped.
So, I'll pass on your offer Mr. "davids2toys," mainly because I do as much fab work as possible -- it's in my genes and that's one of the reasons I undertook this project. Attempting to duplicate anything accurately is a lost cause on this thing.
BTW, I'm in the West Haven/Milford area. Funny, I remember being in Oxford on Christmas Day a few years ago and seeing a red Cobra with white stripes at a gas station on Rt. 67 -- was it you? Most people would have thought you were nuts -- it was really cold that day -- but I, of course, fully understood!
Yes, that was me for sure. I was doing the annual end of the season fresh fuel top-off for the Winter storage. same gas station every year. I live 4 miles up the road.
Your plate scenario would not have gone over at all with this cop. I did nothing to provoke him at all and he was also very polite. "just doing his job".
I bought this ferom a member right after I got the ticket. Just throwing it out there. It is brand new and I am not using it. It is a very nice piece and I would sell it for 35.00 if anyone is interested. I believe I paid 45.00 for it
