I was pulled by local enforcer boys in blue a few years back in a lightweight..... her comment to me was..... "Are you just out on a bit of a joy ride from the barracks"........... Hmmm the civvy plates might just have been a small clue......... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Odd, I've driven my 2A stripped down for a week or two, plus a motorway trip all the way down to Stockport and wasn't pulled at any stage. :-.
At College:
Random clip.

Cool. Of course your Series won't atract as much attantion form the suffers as it's faily standard. The law allows you to omit fitting wipers if the screen can be folded up/down too, not sure when this was stopped though :-k but Westfileds and Atoms don't have to have windscreens do they?

And to answer Lord Shagg-Pyle, he didn't give me a producer of any kind leading me to believe there's nothing wrong with my vehicle or he would have done. How can he expect me to alter it to make it legal if he's not going to tell me what legal is!

If you weren't given any bits of paper telling you to get it sorted in 14 days, then in all fairness, I wouldn't bother too much.
I've dealt with cars that have been modified, and if I haven't been sure if it is legal, I've let them go and gone and researched it with the experts to find out and then got back to them.
It saves a lot of egg on faces and also the person I dealt with doesn't think I'm a complete arse!
A good bit of PR.
I don't wish to jump to conclusions but it sounds like you met someone who thought they knew a bit more than they actually do, which is a shame.
If you get any more comeback, let me know, as I would be very interested to know under what Act and Section the offence is of 'Having a raised car may cause injury'. If it is an offence, I shall nick myself. That'll get my figures up, not that we have to keep to figures you understand, er, umm, I say weren't the Olympics good? :oops:
As for the driving of a stripped down Landy, not a problem, providing the door bottoms are in place.
Again, I wouldn't have a problem with it, although the idea of insects and road gravel flicking into the face is a bit beyond me.

I am sure this has been done to death round here, but i can't find any info.
Last year there was a big thing that "Bull bars kill pedestrians and the EEC are banning them."
What is the truth of the matter?
Thanks
