Very, very careful inspection.  Usually takes about 2 days.



--- Quote ---Screw that!  Where I park my vehicles has nothing to do with the Police, they may fine me for parking in restricted areas on the streets but verifying private or free on-street parking is over stepping the boundary!

I'd have to agree.  But, in a small, overcrowded country, it makes sense.  Especially since there isn't really any such thing as free, on-street parking.  The roads are much too narrow.



--- Quote ---Sounds too restrictive.

Don't even get me started!  To pass the inspection, anything that wasn't original equipment that alters the height (springs) width (wheel well flares) or length (winch bumper) has to removed and replaced with the original.  On top of that, I had to remove my fog lamps, as THOSE weren't original equipment.  The whole thing makes me want to scream.

On the plus side, nobody here is trying to equate driving a 4x4 to being a Nazi, which seems to be the gist of many of the news items I've seen regarding your plight in the UK.  Good luck to you lot!
