After seeing all the posts on this here great forum re the hassles involved I was slowly starting to panic about the beauts that need my attention
Horrid nightmares of being hauled off to the tjokkie cause I'm framed in a network of stolen goods
Well today I plucked up the courage and went and did some investigation
Joe the Westy and Blu the splitts info all nice and neatly written in my book of projects
Written as that was all the info that I have
Go to the local traffic department and all the ladies behind the counter almost jump from thier side to mine as I walk in
Grabouw Friday 10:30 and there is nobody around ????
Anyhow after a bit of chatter about me and all the projects we get to input all the numbers I have collected
Nada - Zippo -Ziltch - Forkall comes up on the screens
Jay Im quietly thinking
Then the one pipes up that I need to go to the police
Oh No the nightmare is true
So off I go to the cop- shoppe - can hear the sirens in my head
Well turns out our local vehicle inspector is also fond of these old beauties
A little more chat about where they from etc and we then go into the big computer
Seems the police have bigger ones than the traffic peeps
Engine numbers - zippo
Vin numbers - Zippo
Great - the red lights have not started flashing
Mr Inspector then proceeds to tell me that going to Stickland will not help as especially for the splitt there will be many duplicate numbers on that vin number as its only a 6 digit number
We need to get the papers reg first and maybe we will be able to do it all here in Grabouw
well now I am really listening
Mr inspector tells me that he does vehicles on Tues and Thurs so I should give him a call on any of those days and see how busy he is
Because if not to busy I can come fetch him and he will come and have a look at the cars and make sure that the numbers are correct
Then will give an affadavid re the said numbers with my affadavid about how I got them to the local department who will send them off
So glad that I found a guy that knows what the story is
And my local ladies have requested that I kidnap them when the Splitt is going
Gladly kidnap them if they are real helpfull with all the papers and get him on the road
Will keep ya all posted on the visit next week and what transpires thereafter
