Just be wary the details on the receipt could be wrong, visual confirmation is best. The details Vic Roads had for my 147 indicated the engine was stolen out of a boat, it was just a typo.

i dont see how its bad advice if the car was registered before the info should be fine on the rego lable and the part the he is just after a permit to drive it for repairs/rwc its the easiest way to get it done,
and i believe that all alfa owners would not be doing a dodge with their cars and or any other type of fraudlent activity with them,
so ill say it was BLOODY GOOD ADVICE !!!!

Sometimes doing things the 'easy' way isn't necessarily the right way of doing things. I myself would rather do something properly once instead of it coming back and biting me in the arse on the roundabout.

Who ARE you, and what have you done with the gumby?
