This is insane.
I don't understand the logic behind this recent development. Quite frankly, I don't think this "lady" knows what the heck she's talking about. Isn't this process for registering a "homebuilt" or special construction vehicle? Isn't that one that is built from procured or hand-crafted parts? Their job (field investigation) is simply to ensure that none of the parts used in the assembly are stolen, the job of ensuring compliance with safety and highway laws is the job of the Technical Services Bureau office. Maybe you can also ask for the bill# of this supposed new law so we can get a transcript of it.
Sorry to hear about this Nick, you have PM for some contact info...
See, this is why I was campaigning for an organized club. If we had representation and alliance with other Cobra clubs, maybe we wouldn't get dicked around like this... Ok I'm stepping off the soapbox now.
