Re: Why can't SORN be for life

SORN is for life or until you sell it. You must have done something wrong because you always get a letter, no letter means they haven't got it down as SORNed. You'll need the V5 doc number to do it now unless you still have Tax form ................................ Steve That was my take on it too....

Re: Pan American Highway

Guys has any of you done this? If you have what’s the craic with shipping/flying the Darian Gap? Costs involved. And is there a need for any visas on the route into South America?
