How Can some Street Rods get full NSW Rego?

[Beejay]

Baz,

I understand that you are frustrated, but your efforts need to concentrate on what needs to be done to get your Cobra approved, not worrying about what hot rods can get away with.

Baz ,

Imagine the buzz of actually being the 1st ICV done in NSW in nearly 2 years .... A famous quote from the now departed AFL Champion Teddy Whitten ..."Stick it right up'em!!!!"

Hope all goes we'll over the coming months!!

It's comforting to know that I haven't been concentrating on getting my Cobra approved for registration over the last 2 years. I take what you say on board and will try harder.

Christ knows what else I have to do other than press my Engineer and the RTA for action, write letters to Poliiticians, Ministers, Ombudsman, State and Federal Govt departments.

If there is something else that you are aware of Ben that I am not doing, please, please let me in on the secret.

Baz,

I think you missed the point.

Good luck in your quest for registration.

Ben,

I didn't miss the point. I took it as I read it.

Hey beejay, were you going for the serenity prayer?

Well Wazza, it seems like my two posts have motivated you to turn this whole thread into a personal attack.

You say :"It's clear to me, and it seems most others...
You make statements about what a deplorable effort the State Presidents/clubs put in, and you'll get a bite from me."

Firstly, Where exactly did I attack the State Presidents?. Both of my posts refer to the lack of support from the states with no mention of Presidents or clubs. More of this later.

Furthermore you say: "I HEARD about a PROPOSAL to do SOMETHING...but as I stated...I wasn't approached in 2006 to do anything about this."

Please refer to my gallery in which you will find a scan of a page 6 from Snaketales dated June 2006, Volume 13, issue 4. This whole page is dedicated to the issue about which Baz enquired.

Let me quote from the 4th line, paragraph 2. " ... We must take a National approach. This will also demonstrate to the authorities that this is not a "flash in the pan" issue that will go away if it is put in the too hard basket".

Let me also refer to page 2, paragraph 4, 4th line, of this same magazine edition. ( Not scanned but can be verified)
Bruce Allen, in guiding readers to Page 6, pleads " The thrust of this action going national is too important and critical. It must not fail."

Bruce goes further in the same paragraph: "John's experience could be an invaluable asset to helping out with the other states presentations."

You advised in a previous post "I HEARD about a PROPOSAL to do SOMETHING". Warren, would you kindly advise me, and I guess the "most others" you refer, as what was Queensland's response to this ICV issue?.

This was a call in the National magazine for a National effort so what exactly did us Queenslanders do?

I think I can remember some 15 years ago when the Cobra club was a national body run by the South Australians --they had concerns about the future of ICVs (which is not just Cobras) and that they were trying to put together a representative force on behalf of Cobras to get some sensible stability towards ADRs for ICVs .
Then the national club disbanded and became independent state clubs --resulting in fragmentation -- of course the Gov,m't love fragmentation as they have no pulling power.

The SVMGA -I believe is stepping up to the plate and probably requires some proactive reps form each state club.

Now, its time to muster every ICV in the country to drive to government house in Cantberra and park themselves on the nice lawn until they succumb to some reasonable and workable ADRs that we can all achieve.

My two bobs worth

Gawd, you got a good memory.

And you are correct. The original Cobra club, for want of a better description, was actually incorporated in the Bolwell car club in SA. In 1993 it split from the Bolwell car club and incorporated the National Cobra Car Club.

Even back then the issue of registration was considered a PIA. This is why RMC applied for and was granted a "low Volume" manufacturer certification which allowed it to issue it's own Vin numbers.

Those vin numbers enabled easy registration as long as the car was built strictly to the RMC build manual. (which was not worth the paper it was printed on)
