Project Journal Update: Temporary Plates!


Despite the best efforts of the DMV to stymie my registration application, I succeeded in obtaining a temporary plate.   Once I get a VIN check, I will get a regular registration.   
(To follow my trials and tribulations at the DMV, check out this series of posts.  Parts I and II are up, more to follow soon.)

CT DMV refused to give me the temp plate Thursday afternoon.  They forced me to become cunning and devious, and find a work-around.  And, as you can see in the pic above.... I got it!

That whole story is in the works, but suffice it say that... old age and treachery triumph over bureaucracy and red tape in the end!

;)

Stay tuned for that story!  Soon come, mon!

Cramped quarters.

Three of the fleet (of eight):  1973 2002, 1991 325ix 5 speed, 1989 325iC (convertible).

A work in progress.  Yeah, I ran out of grey primer, so I made do with what was on hand.

While getting my VIN check  (required for cars purchased out of state in order to obtain normal CT registration), look what stopped in for gas from North Carolina!  Yes, that is an M5.  I chatted with the owner, who is the former owner of two 1971 2002s.  

The old and the new!
