I guess the number plates might be a bit of a give-away
Re-register them or private plate.

I hope so, they come in handy
I imagine that re-registering them will trigger a check if they have been imported legitimately. But who knows, eh?

Youâve been talking to those âtechnology fixes everythingâ wallahs havenât you. Actually with cars, and combined with the old grey import warranty problems, it just might.

I canât believe the tariff schedule / honesty box is anything other than a âlook what a mess itâll be if you donât vote for my dealâ scam by Maybot
It quite clearly wouldnât last two seconds IRL
I think the only impact of the threats of zero tariffs etc will be to (i) weaken to zero the ability of the UK to negotiate FTAs with the rest of the world who would already have the majority of the benefits and none of the costs of a FTA and (ii) almost guarantee that any negotiations with the EU would start off in a very poor atmosphere. Given that any negotiations are likely to take years, not starting in a bad place is usually seen as a bonus.

I agree that theyâre issues to address, but the main - and worst - problems start from day one

The move from whipped to free votes on amendments today and the free vote on âNo Dealâ shows the complete lack of control/unity in Government (if we ever doubted this). I expect âNo Dealâ to be punted into the farthest reaches of outer darkness tonight and instructions issued to request a lengthy extension to A50 tomorrow. After that, I canât see May keeping the lid on her Govt much longer after that. I note that Hammond has carefully hung May and her deal out to dry in his statement this afternoon. That is certain to help heal the divisions 
.
Iâm assuming that TM is going for the full hat-trick of most substantially defeated motions in the House.

So if the EU or any one country in the EU object to an Art 50 extension we leave on the 29th.
If they agree to an extension of say 3 months and we donât have a new deal by then, we leave at the end of three months with a âno Dealâ.
A GE and 2nd Ref are still unlikely as the Tories just wonât support them. In fact, an Art 50 extension makes them less likely as the Government can always say they are negotiating and holding either would not be helpful etcâŚ
They arenât supported by the executive, but the executive are no longer in control of Parliament.
