Thanks there, makes sense?

I suppose we cannot glout over here in Australia, as it is getting harder and harder to gain registration for what is loosely described as "Individually Constructed vehicles'

Even after an expensive process involving engineers who oversee the project at an average cost of $1800+ pending on the project and the complexity, registration is not a given.

Currently the Street Rod Federation at National level are making in roads into the registration process, but my understanding is that this is not that clear at the moment.

Even after registration you run a gauntlet of cops who can just defect your vehicle at a whim. Back to registration you go with a roadworthy certificate from your workshop.

Bit like the annual emission testng you have in California as far as difficulty and inconvenience.

Again, just some observations from Down Under.



I will be game here and say..



I am amazed in a country where you have "The right to bear arms" under your Ammendments you seem to be so restricted in your various States for simple vehicle registration.



I guess you could always say you know your rights when next registering your Cobra - would be interesting as an observer.

Keep smiling

Cheers

Bernie
