do what ever you want mate just dont tell people on here as im sure there MI5........or dvla..lol


Anyways, as above really, to use it to rebuild a car from second hand parts is classed as ringing. Plus, not declaring it SORN then using it again could set you up for a nice big fine if you do reregister it.
Just because people are daft enough to be featured in a magazine with a car that's been illegally rebuilt using second hand parts and logbooks, doesn't mean that everyone should follow suit.

They aint getting away with it. They just haven't been done for it, yet!how do they get away with it in the mags
I mean, to me it's stupid. Get your car featured in a magazine, let the print tell every reader that it's a ringer! The blooming numberplates are NEVER even blanked out!

It would be quite feasible that someone could go through back-issues of MiniWorld and Minimag and report ALL of the cars that have been reshelled, or have used second hand logbooks and report them all to the DVLA. I'm not saying anything would happen, but it could do and they've opened themselves up for it.
