Well, I went on down to the DMV today to try my hand at getting a title. The Winnetka office was a total bust, their Director told them in a meeting 2 weeks...
This verification of the MSO is BS. It's Catch 22. You can't post fees without bringing the car in, but you can't bring the car in without a registration,...
Congratulations! I can only hope it is this straightforward when I do this in IL in the spring. My situation may be a little harder, as CMC went out of...
Congratulations! I am also here in California (near Fresno) and had those same questions. If I knew how to get hold of you, I would love to swing by and look...

Pictures please...we need pictures!!! I remember driving into Chicago in my first sports car, a small mouth 57 TR-3, one winter from Rockford. It was 15 below...
I've got one that was a bit chilly. We travelled from the North of UK to Angouleme and back in a Westfield VII. The whole trip was about 1500 miles and I'm...
Hi All: When I started my XI build (can it really be 7 years ago now?), I needed to make room in my garage for the frame. So, the Spitfire had to go into...

Quick tip: If you can't make your appointment at the OPENING of the DMV, go early anyway. They will take you straight away if you show up early in TO. Let me...
Given how little time I am able to spend working on the car, it will be sometime this summer before I have a running chassis to dyno test. It's back to Tucson...

I called the DMV today to find out if they were closed on Friday Jan.2 since I was unable to make an appointment at the 1000 Oaks office for that day. I tried...
