dead cats

[Grant Lenahan]

there's a difference between "wont get caught" and "legal".

Until they carry QQ plates all cars must meet the emissions for the year they were manufactured.

I have no idea what the 5/50 refers to.
Emissions equipment must be warranted by the manufacturer for 8/80 - but after that YOU must maintain it.
