IRELAND BANDS ALL MODIFIED CARS

Boy racers have had their day - in Ireland at least! A new move by the Government there means that from next month, modified cars will be refused roadworthiness certificates - making it illegal for them to be driven on public roads. Transport minister Ivor Callely said: "We're putting provisions in place to eliminate tinted glass, double exhausts and so on." The move is part of a wider crackdown on road safety

source?

Chair-Force · 12-20-2005, 09:19 PM

the IRA Minister of Information.

LSHatch · 12-20-2005, 09:42 PM

They are banding modified cars?

WRXtoS4 · 12-20-2005, 09:54 PM

So that means that the Irish "rappers" cant throw dubs on their Bimmers right??

Thats a form of modification. That Bull man.

Don't think that there aren't tons of government officials trying to do that in the US. Tree hugging douches in congress want all mods gone off of cars here too.

Ban Modified cars but the drinking age is 16 over there..I think. Makes real good sense!

I bet a ton of sleepers will start showing up in Ireland with fully built N/A motors.

Wow thats nuts.

I would have no problesm with that law. It is easy enough to stick a big compressor wheel and turbine wheel in a stock 1g turbo. And no one would be any the wiser I was running a stroker, too.

Plenty of stock appearing DSMs have run into the 11s already, lol.
