Some of these then drift open - certainly this happened to us when we cam back down at the start of November.Mike Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067557327430064111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-65788427257926312122016-01-08T11:54:07.680+00:002016-01-08T11:54:07.680+00:00CART are trying not to issue a paper license and i...CART are trying not to issue a paper license and insisting that the registration number is painted on the boat.
