Cavette's cavalcade of crap *Scrapyard DS April 2K18*

[Cavcraft]

Half tempted to ring the yard at dinner time and see what the script is with the car.

If anyone wants to have a crack at that DS, it's this yard that where it's currently stored

That's right. Some <25 year old cars seem to sneak through too, there's a Citroen C6 registered over there somehow.

From what I can gather the chap who owns that has some friends in high places and was able to grease the correct palms to get the C6 registered - by rights it shouldn't be allowed on the road in the US.

Sure nuff........ goes both ways. Mainly due to safety standards and markings etc.....

Here in Bruss-land a friend is quite high up in the local paper pushing economy drain - came back from US of A and brought his year old XC. Went in as normal dude, told to fro in no uncertain terms. Every hint was to be changed for EU spec..... costing thousands. Telephoned in advance as deputy head of EU dept. Come on in fella, no worries - no need for C of C, all stamped and plates OK'd in less than 25mins. Sad but true.
