The Project Havoc....

[watahyahknow]

oh whell , there basicly isnt any welding permitted to the carrying parts of a frame here in the netherlands , do that and youre going to need to get a new single car aproval and get a new licenceplate for the car
there where some smart people here that got out from under the roadtax by building new 4 door carrosseries on old landrover and mercedes G car frames and use the licence from that frame (our vinnumbers are stamped in those frames not in the cab ) now they changed the rules a little and to keep that old vinnumber the car needs to consist at least ...eeeeeeh i think it was 80%out of the old car (frame engine carroserie and drivetrain are measured by percentage ) so that took the air out of those sails too

if its going to cost them money there pretty quick in changing the rules

other example : grey licence , this was made for companycars they where in a lower roadtax the rules where no rearseat and a flat loadfloor but not only companies started to drive those cars so they chanced the rules : no more rearwindows and quarterwindows alowed and there was a certan mold that needed to be places up straight inside the loadspace , this worked some and there where strainge bulges starting to apear on normal cars to deal with this
after that the grey licence was only alowed if you where registered as a company and had a special aproval , and all of a sudden those cars became worthless overnight because after they sell them they have to pay normal roadtax for those lumpy cars without backwindows
