[quote=āenshiu, post:23, topic:7244ā]ā¦Due long not been registered they need to check with the German amt if it is not stolenā¦[/quote]Strange. When I brought in my L601 from the Netherlands to Germany, nobody bothered to care if it was stolen or not. The inspection facilities here concern themselves only with safety and emissions issues. Their authority doesnāt extend to policing

What is an āItalian Tune Upā?
1 Like
this car has been deregistered for too long.
After 5 years they print it out in the archive and delete it in the system
Manual labour to find the paperwork back

Its a stereotype of Italian drivers that they use the rev limiter as the āchange upā point in each gear while driving.
An āItalian tune upā is a term for driving the car hard in low gears to really exercise the engine and blast out any deposits from being driven slowly in high gears (by old people usually!) It tends to work really well for getting the catalytic converter nice and hot to get through emissions tests for example

Just curious does taking so many pics as your working slow you down heaps? I couldnāt imagine trying to take so many. Every couple of minutes I feel I would have to wash my hands get phone or camera take photos, do a little bit and repeat.
Not picking on your process just wondering if it takes a lot longer and if it gets annoying to do so? Also do you sell the images on other platforms as stock photoās or something else? Genuinely curious.

What were the specification results of the alignment? Were adjustments required or did you have this done, as a precautionary measure?
