LOL. Oh John, you know the answer to this one - to paraphrase, "If you right it, we will read it."

Bring it on.

Subject: [TR] Title dates

There’s a reason - usually the same one - why some cars have a longer than expected “slack” period between build date and title date. I know some people are curious as to why this happened. Rather than bombard the list with a lengthy explanation that may be of little interest to most people, I’ll do a feature if anyone would like me to? Essentially, it all boils down to something called a CILC or a Confirmed Irrevocable Letter of Credit. Do I sharpen my quill pen or should I let a sleeping dog lie?
