AGH thank you, you are a star :-)

with any luck I can claim the paper work has been lost in a move, or something.

Fantastic, if i can do it my self for 20rmb or something, that would be fantastic. even better if i could get it issued in my current city.
thank you very much Lao Jia Hou.

i will find the website that you can check fines and things like that and see if i can dig up the paper work on my license
Lao Jia Hou if we ever meet on a ride i will get you a drink or two (once we have pulled over for the night of course)
