<div> <font size="3">Here in Missouri we had a State Senator, Bud Barnes, who was an old car advocate and our antique car requirements are quite receptive to the hobby. Antique plates are good forever (no renewal required) and we are allowed up to 2000 miles of personal use in addition to mileage to and from official events such as parades and car shows. That is rarely enforced and as one police officer who was a member of our local club said "The major concern of violating this rule is from your insurance company."</font></div>

<div>Same here, Dave. We do have safety and emissions testing on newer cars here in Texas, and a passed test verification is required for the annual license renewal (about $75). Front license plates are required too but the law is typically ignored, especially for sports cars. All cars 25 years and older are not required to be emissions tested and if one chooses 'antique', 'classic', vanity plates, only the rear plate is required. Those specialty plates have a five year renewal, rather than annual, at only a slightly higher cost.

<div>Dave, this is just part of the fun! And I am not at all surprised by the changes given that this is an emissions issue. On my car, the tank vent is, or was plumbed via another pipe, to a carbon canister in the engine compartment.

<div>Hello friends,
<div> If you've followed any of the work on my '75 US specification TR6 you will know that the following question is probably irrelevant...but I ask anyway, for your sage advice:</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>When reinstalling the fuel filler cap, which is the correct orientation? Hinge side toward the front. Or rear? Or to one side or another?</div>
