Rebel1,
Thats exactly what i am doing, as i said i am going to book in to get the chassis test done in a few weeks. I would never make any build decisions without running by an engineer.

Baz,
I hope you don't think i was trying to poo poo the idea of approaching the poli's i just dont have the time actively do that, work full time and build the car plus keep the current wife happy. I think its a great idea and would be a fantastic step forward for the industry.

Sorry guys. Iv'e settled down now and am back on the team after my little dummy spit. After all, my Cobra will be finished and registered soon and I won't have anything else to do.

At the moment I am drafting a Ministerial submission to the NSW Shadow Transport Minister, Gladys Berejiklian. After the State elections in 2011, she will be the Transport Minister. I feel that she would be quite interested in how far behind the other States NSW is in relation to the Kit Car industry and may be quite receptive to look at new Legislation pertaining to 'Replicas.' I will also be discussing Street Rods and the benefits of their exemptions compared to what Kit Car builders have to endue.

Another aspect of my submission will be the huge number of people that are employed in the Kit Car Industry as well as other occupations that feed off it. This should really open her eyes.

The cornerstone of my submission will be the introduction of a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Owner/Builder and also by the RTA at the commencement of a build. That document, which I will prepare, will state what ADR's are to be complied with by the builder over a nominated period of 4 years or sooner if the build is completed in that time. No new ADR's can be added during the nominated period. Unfortunately this si exactly what is happening in NSW at the moment.

I have one Replica builder on side and he is firmly on the team. Keep those ideas coming in.

In my prior life before retirement, a major component of my job involved preparing lengthy and complicated Ministerial submissions and drafting proposed Legislation, so this is right up my alley.


Keep those ideas flowing in. Every bit helps.
