The good'ol RTA NSW

[Redback]

Well guys it's here [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] and it's sitting in the driveway not going anywhere, why i hear you ask well according to the RTA they now do random inspection on cars coming from interstate (first we heard) aspecially when we asked (3 phone calls) has there been any changes reguarding this, as the Explorer was bought from VIC 8O So Bambi the Disco has to wait till monday to get inspected (not happy Jan) What about the blue slip :roll: don't count it's the computer that selects which car, do we get reumbursed the $46.00 oh no we are really sorry but NO

What i'm most ****ed off about is the fact that we were not told about this until we got to the RTA with everything we needed to rego the car and would not have wasted $46.00 on a blue slip we would of booked it in to the RTA for today and it would be on the road now and getting it's snorkle fitted aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggrrrrrrrrrr crap crap crap crap crap crap

Aahh feel better now

Ahhh, bureaucracy at its best. Don't you just love the reasonable public first mentality that exists in the Govt departments.

WHAT!! why the bloody hell do they need to inspect your car? What could possibly be the sense in doing that? ..................you're not one of those "shadey characters" are you [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] I'd suggest you take it up with someone higher up as you should get some sort of reimbursement.

[Redback]

Well apparently the blue slip is still needed for rego even if the RTA inspect too, so you get a greenslip, reciepts of purchace, all of your personal info, blue slip, insurance details go to the RTA with all this, then before it can be rego'ed a second inspection (random we were told) by an RTA approved inspection station then you take it back to the RTA for payment and plates. I'm tired just thinking about it.

If we buy the car in VIC and have owned for more than 3 months then transfer the rego to NSW we don't have to do this. 8O :roll:

So does it still have the vic rego? If so, you can drive it on that till monday.

[Redback]

Nah because we bought it and had it sent up they won't leave it registered, they take the plates off [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

I'll spend the weekend measuring up the back for a set of home made drawers, i scored 3 sets of draw runners last week at work someone threw them out 8O [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

The RTA are a 'special' bunch... :roll:

But look at it this way, if they were to clean out the RTA you would have these soles roaming the streets with nothing to do 8O Better that they are kept locked up at the RTA.

It will make that first drive of "Bambi" (whats with all the cartoon character names? :wink: ) all the more enjoyable!

[Redback]

Never thought of it like that, yeah Bambi, the girls named it that because according to Landrover our Disco is



















wait for it,

















FAWN not silver but FAWN :roll: [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] hence Bambi yep 8O
