The VIN is made up and the plate DIY stamped with wrong characters and no hyphens. I do see the seller calls it a "reproduction" plate but a better term would be 'faked'. When I acquired my Traveller it had a plastic front end with no VIN plate. I replaced the body to restore it and acquired a properly stamped plate from Mini Mail.

I had pre paid for the hotel and to bite me.. we have NOT spoken since.. fyi.   we poured cat litter to soak up the oil. the next day..   might have been few RED STRIPES drunk that name Before the oil Caper.. those were the good old times at MME.

Hi Bill, 

 

I am sure you realize, at this point in time, you're much more likely to get a reply from an A-eye bot, sp@mmmmmmer rather than a live human typing, right?

 

To prove that I'm not one, I remember the 10w30 poured under the Beemers at MME 2003 in Magog, QC, I thought that was a classic move, but I bet it upset hotel staff, LOL!

 

Cheers buddy!
