Poor guy - I just moved out of Massachusetts after 10 years. Lovely state,
but those regulations.....
Regarding the annual safety inspection, since these cars are grandfathered
for emissions, the inspection only requires you demonstrate your lights
work, the wipers operate and there are no rust-through holes. Oh, and you
pay, of course.
The first time I had an inspection, I left the car there. An hour later, I
got a call, asking me if I could please retrieve my TR3, as the "emergency
brake" was 'permanently stuck in the "on" position'. The poor guy was
treating it like a modern brake and trying to release it with the button in.
After that, I drove the car in and out of the inspection.

Just home after an 1150-mile round trip. New baby (small-mouth TR3)in the
barn. The car is 2 months older than me. Looking at that rust makes me
feel old........

Subject: [TR] Front License mounting and MA service shops
Hello All,
I just moved to Massachusetts and am in the process of getting my automobile
registrations moved to the new state from Pennsylvania. In PA we do not
have
front license plates, but MA does.
What is the best way to mount a front license plate on a TR4A? I'd rather
not drill holes in the front bumper if it can be avoided. Photos of the
mounting would be helpful as well.
I moved to South Hadley in the western part of the state, just north of
Springfield. Are there any shops friendly to our classic cars relatively
nearby? I have to get a safety inspection done pretty soon too. In PA I
had
it registered as "Antique" and it did not need annual safety inspection.
