Didn't even check the indicators!

I got the full over and one of my fails was rear suspenion spring washer not fully collasped, well it was to my standard but not to theirs so I emga tightened it and probably nearly stripped the thread. But the return visit was laid back, yep, yep, yep. Done. "Did you fix the exhasut leak?" "yeah" "Cool good enough.". But I ahd 2 inspectors the older one did most of the first visit, he didn't like Mini's he thought they were unsafe etc. Well they are but bad luck and wanted me to comply to ADRs that don't exist on my car. The 2nd visit was done by the younger guy only and he was nice.

Although I did deserve to fail namely due to my roll cage not being bolted in far back enough, that was my fault.

BTW my car looked good that day, no oil, paint was polished, interior was cleaned, they just didn't like me. Also my cars not very original.

Yep. Have calculated this one before.

Its 1 million dollars now, plus 1 million dollars in an investment account at 5% interest bi-annually. That is my price of happiness.

It wasnt the most expensive one - the second most expensive. $240 but big plates look horrible especially on the english bootlids in my opinon.

Cheers,
Matt

Depends on the style of plate you chose, and must total 6 characters.

His is 7 characters, and wont have the SA logo between the letters and numbers, so its a yearly payment.

Most people only keep plates like that for a year or 2 before choosing a cheaper one.

They are custom plates. You can have up to seven letters/numbers aslong as there is one number. It is an annual payment.

Might see ya later today mate
