A LandRover, right? That sure is nice. What year is that?

Aye, it's a Land Rover "Snatch". It's armoured but looks mostly standard.
It's a 1992 and now legal to import into the US.

That's a sweet vehicle.
111 horsepower sounds a "wee" underpowered, but I don't know; how does she drive?

111 is for the 300Tdi engine in the Snatch 2.
Mine is a Snatch 1.5 - Desertized, which has the 3.5l petrol V8, which has...."more" bhp.
to be honest, I haven't driven it yet, as it's not legal here until after Jan 1 2017, but considering it weight about 8900lbs, i don't reckon it's going to handle like a sports car. Or even a regular LR, for that matter.

That truck is awesome. I hope to see that running around the pnw.
I would be in for a rally but...

Anyone have a m35 cargo cover?
Took the M923A2 (totally stock) in today for a WSP inspection for licensing purposes. The guy wouldn't even look at the Serial number. He told me that they don't license military vehicles in WA. Anyone else run across this issue? I suggested that maybe he was confusing this issue with some of the issues around humvees and he told me they don't do any military vehicles. I did ask which state law said that and he didn't have an answer. Not quite sure where I will go on this, but do need to do some more research. This was news to me and my other 7 registered MV's.

Peter why do you need to take it for a WSP inspection? Do you have the SF-97 for it?

PM Scott about what he did. He bought his 5 ton from Brad without a title or SF97.

I did not have an issue when I ran into similar issues. What location did you choose for the inspection?

Sounds to me like your typical mis-informed employee. A mis-informed officer can be quite the obstacle. Best to either go back when he is off shift, or go to another WSP location.
Worst case scenario, bring your truck over here to Idaho and we'll license her here and transfer it back once all the paper work comes in. Maybe get some mud on it in the process. =)
