pew pew pew!

And zero mods allowed in SA - so no safety upgrades like bigger brakes or disc brakes on series vehicles, no Holden powered series allowed, 3.9 or 4.6 in an 86 Rangie not allowed, etc.

Being a remote member is probably very appealing to a lot of people. Being involved in clubs is not for everyone, and as previously stated, if your not retired and have a young family, often there is minimal time to spare for club meetings and activities. Some clubs don't appear to be sympathetic to this, demanding "X" amount of attendances at club meetings, club activities, vehicle display days, etc. per year, or they will not sign off and stamp your paperwork for the following twelve months CPS registration.

Cheers, Mick.

I can see the RedPlate Club buying land, building a Clubhouse etc. with the funds they are raising. Good on them if the system works.

We formed our Club with the express aim of no meetings and no politics.
But on the other hand I understand that some Clubs are more about the social aspects hence the requirements to attend meetings & take part.
As mentioned earlier, if you don't like it then form your own Club with some mates. If you can't be bothered then join an existing Club and 'fit in'.

The reason you dont see many on "H" plates is I believe SA have a two plate system for historic vehicles.
Firstly a dedicated Historic plate, as well as some vehicles keep their original plate, but they are on the Historic Conditional/Limited use of eighty or ninety days per annum.
We need Digger to clarify this.

The idea has many merits.

I believe having the driver rather than the vehicle insured is common across the US, but I don't think they have a TAC type system like we do here. Still, perhaps a driver could be insured for that as well under the DL.

Yep. No hiding from ANPR cameras.

The one off "scrutineering fee" does still apply.

This has got to be the worst journalism I have ever read.

Car registration in Victoria: Days of cheap rego loophole for ‘classic’ cars could be numbered

An entire article based on a twitter feed ?? WTF.

There is no such thing as "cheap rego". Its a permit to drive an unregistered car on the road. The entire article is just bull**** that appears to be have been fabricated out of nothing :bat::bat: Along with a dumbarse moron trying to tell us that we should be told what is considered a classic car :bat::bat::bat:

Yeah that’s pretty bad reporting with no effort made to understand the scheme at all. I still don’t see how they can make a rule to say what’s a classic is or isn’t.

Someone’s Seca or Magna might mean the world to them - why should someone else have the right to say their vehicle isn’t worth it.

I have no issues with tightening the rules to catch out the cheats who are ruining it for the vast majority. I’m also glad that 1 car clubs aren’t going to go - a lot of these are
legitimate people who don’t want the hassle of being part of another club and all the BS that can go with it.

Have been thinking of looking into this myself just for the ease of it.
