Guess the low volume numbers of ICV's that would be constructed could see them recognised as they are - Independantly Constructed Vehicles.

I read somewhere where all the emission sh*t is just that, as the noisy Sunday neighbour with his two stroke wiper - snipper puts more crap into the atmosphere on any given Sunday than you and I would in a month with our cars..

Unfortunately that is a fact....

.. Where to from here...

There has been a push for a long time to get the Cobras in a similiar situation as the Street Rods with their pre 1948 guidelines..Now that would be perfect for Cobra builders if it went Nationally - like the Street Rodders regulations/guidelines..

More manufacturers need to be talking with and supporting John to make it happen I think.

Just my $0.02 worth..

What I heard, was that the hot rodders are being pulled up as well as the cobras.
This all stems from the importers, as we all fall under the same umbrella.
Toyota and Mitsubishi cracked the sh1ts a long time ago and asked john Anderson to help out.
So he shut the indecon down as to the point were we are today.

And boy was Anderson a d1ck (#1 keeps coming up??) I was working on the vipers about two years age for Chrysler, as they were changing GM, Anderson got the vipers changed, due to a seat belt bolt (l/h to r/h) for the kids baby seat (capsule) and said that all he car need the hole plugged, this was to stop the babies from driving the 500HP viper.

Theirs a rummer (strong rummer) that a couple of blokes are now hi up in the RTA, they got screwed by this person hi up there, so they decided to go public, this was not going to happen, so they got how you say, a job and benefits (they will be well looked after)

I was asked to pay a large $ to get a compliance plates for my cars, under the same deal, I declined.

The shame is that people (good engineers) are being shafted for pulling up crooked counter staff, which have a crap day and think they are god.
We’ve now lost too many good engineers due to the beurocrasy and the double standards that are being placed on the engineers (who have the degrees in engineering) and common folk like us.

I remember that when I bought my first kit, the new ADR that was being brought in by the end of that year, it was an air bag for the steering wheel, and that was over 14 years ago, and I’m still hearing it today.

And you right to, more talk about getting the cars through, than gossip, hear say and innuendo.
