Forget the neighbours Bernie....Up here registration is administered by the Dept of Transport. These same goons run our public bus fleet.
Recently they were caught out and found to be flaunting EPA laws by having their bus workshops at Toowong ( a Brisbane suburb) spewing all manner of toxic paint fumes onto neighbouring residences. They had just not updated the filters/extractors to modern standards and they had been doing this for years.
These are the very same people who insist we use clean engines in our Cobras.
I commend john for his stance and I don't know if the hot rod solution is the answer ( although better than we have currently). I believe we, the car enthusiest community need to get into the ears of our polititians and get recognition for who we are ie. individual constructed behicles, not massed produced vehicles.
The cobra ( and other car clubs) should join forces ( not amalgamate) and get into the ears of our polititians. Once they realise how many of us voting public want this then maybe things will change.
Sadly, few of the kit manufacturers are doing much to make it easier to register these things.
