I am so glad we don't have such stringent rules for registration here in the U.S. I really admire Baz and all of you for having unbelievable patients on going through such a horrid situation. I see nothing wrong with the government trying to make sure these cars are as safe as they can be but to make it near impossible to register is not fair . All privately assembled vehicles should have to comply. Why are street rods different?
It appears this situation is not going to get any better. Your government allows for too much bureaucracy with no certain rules for the car builder to follow. OZCobra pointed out a couple of those bureaucrats had the nerve to come onto this forum and post. If they have time to come here and do that then that in itself shows how screwed up things are that they are pretty much freehanded to screw with whomever.
You guys need one good politician that likes these cars and would be willing to fight on your behalf. Get some solid rules down so the target doesn't keep moving around.
I have said it before here on this forum that you need to organize as a group. Something like our SEMA. By doing this indicates to the government that you are a force to deal with. All companies that are automotive related should join. This shows how business is supported by these hobbies.
By stifling the hobby it has a direct reflection on the automotive business. This hurts jobs and the economy. These things the politicians understand.
Until someone takes the bull by the horns then you will be looking at the end of your hobby in a short distant future.
I truly hope this gets better for Australia. Some of the best ideas and great products come from OZ.
My GT is practically all Australian and it shows the the great engineering that comes from there.
I don't like sounding like a sticky beak but I hate to see stuff like this regardless of what country it's in.
