Easy way to get a VIN
I see lots of comments about the difficulties in getting a VIN number so I was dreading the day when it would be my turn.
As it happens, I got mine very easily (in a matter of a few days) so thought I'd let you know how I did it in case it helps others.
When the engineer first came round, I commented to him that the engine didn't have a number. He said what ever you do, don't apply to VicRoads to get an engine number as you'll be waiting (& stressing out) for months. Instead, he advised that I should just make one up and stamp it on myself. So I did. I just used my initials and my birthdate. With that the engineer was able to get the VIN in a matter of a few days.
Not sure if this procedure would work in other states.
Cheers,
Adrian.
