Re: [DML] Carfax and invalid VIN's

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My own DeLorean, vin SCEDT26T7BD001458 was registered and used in the US 
- you actually have a record of it at DMCH, James. However, if you run a 
Carfax check on it, it returns no data either. This is not the case on 
my other D, for which I have a full clean report, which *doesn't* show 
that it ever left the US. Wierd considering it's sitting on my drive in 
England, where it's been since I brought it back from Germany!
