Thanks for the heads up Darryl.... Very sad for us modified car owners.... :-(

Looks like we are going to ripped off for a few more years to come, paying full rego for cars, that are driven half a dozen times a year....

I can't see this being reviewed again for years.....

I can't help but think this was a bean counters decision based on the perception of how much money the Govt. might miss out on from rego fees and clearly not taking into account the fact that people won't be able to afford therefore wont rego the cars anyway.

Also not taking into account the lack of Gst revenue from fuel, tyres , and all extras associated with our hobby / sport and of course all the flow-on to many , many other businesses.

Although i am in a hot rod club as well it is of no benefit to me as my '56 chev does not fit into it either ........... so while i can be happy for my hot rod buddies i can feel the frustration of the rest of us ...........

And in no small way due to the lack of forward and bottom line only thinking of some boffin within the transport dept.

spot on laz lots of people are not registering their cars now because 3 months rego to drive them 3 or 4 times im fuxking over it m8 as much as i love driving my v8 lj i think it will be for sale so i can buy something i can put on club rego....as you say if we had the modified scheme we would drive them more spend more on tyres petrol ect ect so the government would win anyway....

This place is a fkn joke!

Recently paid Qld Transport $810.00 for 12 months rego on the LJ and it's a 6cyl not a V8.
From what I've heard, the consensus seems to be that QLD has the highest rego fees of all the states.
I feel like I'm being ripped off, that's for sure.

[xu2308]

Tassy V8 Rego is $620 and 6 months rego is $300 odd, and i thought i was getting ripped in Tassy, the other states are Ned Kelly like with there V8 Rego.

Rego and greenslip on my stock 6 cyl HT wagon in Sydney is just on 700 bucks.

It's a shame that the govt decide to restrict schemes like that to only a few and not later model cars. IP racing rules for Early model are for cars built before 1984. That would be around the mark I would think for a cut off point, maybe 30 years that would bring it to 1982. You don't see many Kingswood/ Monaro, Torana, VB/ VC Commodore or other models from other manufacturers around as daily drivers. Most people who own these vehicles are enthusiasts who use them on an irregular basis and should be allowed to use their car on the same type of scheme as the Historic for original cars.
It's a shame that SA decides to hinder the owners of cars that people actually turn their head and look at when they drive by.

Gov bowed to hotrodders as they only accounted for less than a hundred cars so now they will get $0 on thousands of cars as they sit in garages unregistered,no fuel tax no gst on tyres ,oils services and ins so the money grabbing tools are worse off .
They did their sums and thought they would miss out but 0% of say $900 is less than say a quarter of $900 go figure.

spot on outer our government is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuxcked in the head.... if they did the sums properly they would relise its a win win for both us and them....why s.a people have to fight so hard for every little thing makes the mind boggle.....as eyepeeler rightly pointed out if they actually looked at how many pre 1980 cars are on the system unregistered then looked at how many pre 1980 cars are on historic and registered they would get a much better idea of the money they could make...petrol,repairs,tyres,ect ect but its just the same old s.a mentality if it gets to hard just take the easy way out and fuxk the people that actually pay their wages....

Come to victoria lads.
12 months of street rod permit is less than $130 and allows me to legally take the LS powered LJ out 90 days a year. I have tried hard this year and reckon I will use 50 something days if lucky.
