We used to make our own silencers and he made one for the Jowett. After he installed the silencer he could not figure out why the car started and then quickly cut out. When we checked the silencer box we found that he had forgotten to cut the holes out for the exhaust gases to flow through the silencer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is going to conceal the plate when spending that amount on a license plate. 9999 being on the cheaper side of the vanity plates. Right in front of my condo is a police check almost every day. At least 2 or 3 times a week I see the same blue Lamborghini being waved through while everyone else gets a ticket. There is no need to conceal anything.

It is also a smear upon the name of Eberan von Eberhorst who was responsible for much of the Javelin and Jupiter design. Why didn't you choose to denigrate Ferdinand Porsche for his VW Beetle design ? Andre Citroen for the Traction Avant ? Vincenzo Lancia for the Lambda ? All exceptionally talented engineers . ...and please note ,not a single Brit amongst them. Shame ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said before, I do not like some of the new modifications made to TV; not showing the previous post confuses many posters who do not read the source of the comments upon which they respond.

I said to the wife why no red plates, i want to save money !!! What when we get the regular plates you get the money back. Point is she drove for 9 weeks with no plates never stopped. Thai vehicle code allows driving with Red Plates for 3-months. Dealer charges REFUNDABLE money returned when exchanging Red Plates for Regular Plates at the Dealer. DMV Car registration start at day Dealer issues Red Plates which dates is written in Brown book belonging to the Red Plates with additional info about temporary user of Red Plates and end of use of Red Plates and date.. The Dealer is in violation of DMV code when not issuing and attaching Red Plates to newly bought vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same cost as a regular fill up. A fine this low is just an annoyance for them, not a real deterrent. how right. this ought to be classified under penal code and 2K fine is a joke.

trainman34014 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 About 20% of vehicles around these parts have one or no number plates. Motorbikes are the biggest offenders but who cares ? Certainly not the Cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting the video huahinjoe. I was just curious as to how it worked in reality. If I remember, the James Bond version just kept rotating on a central axis - was it capable of showing four different number plates? This newer version is pretty snazzy, although there are two plates it alternates between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
