[T3] Inspections (was: Re: [T3] Crunchy steering?)

[Jens Vagelpohl <jens@dataflake.org>]

<x-flowed>in germany both inspections and insurance are compulsory. what a 
surprise, isn't it? ;)  there's not just a technical inspection but 
also a n emissions inspection every year.

the worst thing that can happen to an old-car owner/restorer is when 
they let registration lapse for over a year, maybe because the car is 
all taken apart in some garage. if you want to re-register it after 
that point you have to go through this special technical inspection 
that is much more expensive and rigorous than the standard inspection.
