Seems like the best thread to post a little bit of good news...

!!VicRoads has approved my car !!

Just waiting on the VIN now. Such a relief, five years in the making.

Great news.

Hopefully after a few weeks you'll have your VIN. I got mine after 3-4 weeks, it came as a surprise as they were usually closer to 3 months.

It will be great to see it on the road. I haven't taken mine for much of a drive, been too busy, but hopefully over summer I will get that opportunity. Need to do some spring work though as there are a bit soft I feel.

Well done Paul. Assume it is your car beneath mine at Marty's, hope nothing is dripping - lol

I might be able to make a return start to mine as soon as next weekend - here's hoping.

Cheers

Thanks for all the congrats. I'm still smiling about it today.

Yes Hammerman (who are you really though?) I'm already missing the camaraderie, the BBQs and most of all - being told by the experts how I should have actually done this or that particular job!

Slowy, she's tucked away in my home garage but it's good to hear you're getting back into it. I may drop in next weekend.

Great news. Always good to hear someone successfully manage to navigate through one more hoop.

Well done

Just got my VIN. Under two weeks from the initial approval, not bad at all. Almost there!
