[DeTomaso] OT! Temporary tags at Silver State Classic Challenge!

[Bjoern Flesland]

Hi Mike,
Thanks for chiming in. Yes, over here in Europe you will be pulled
over at once if they notice out of date plates or tags. They will then
remove the plates from car and confiscate them. You can not drive the
car without plates.
So what you are saying is that the only risk I take is a ticket?
How much will that eventually be?
Can I still drive off after the meeting with the deputy?
I am only to drive in Nevada.
Cheers,
Bjoern
