This sounds a hundred times better, I hope we get this in QLD.

The current system is bullshit, if you have a car that you leave in the garage 364 days a year, and want to drive it to work on ONE sunny day, you can't... yet if you go to a club event every single day of the year that's OK.

yeah i looked at most of this, the mini club is usually pretty good, mods dont need to be engenieered i have been told, just approved as safe from the clud inspector, and most are pretty strict.

its a pita but currently im lucky to drive 90days a year, thats why it looks good. its hard to get normal reg i have been told once on club reg (read near on impossible)

Fairly spot on 1200RC.Most car clubs have a fee to join and then yearly fees, our car club is $80 per year and you will need a RWC or certificate from the clubs safety officer before you can put it on red plates even if it is currently registered. Rwc will cost you $100+ and safety certificate roughly $50. Quite a few clubs are putting attendance requirements in place so the clubs don't get used for cheap rego. At the end of your 12 months permit rego you would have to get papers signed by the club's red plate officer before you could pay the rego again. If they were not happy with you , you could be left with no rego.1200RC, I suppose you know rally rego is available but is about $600 a year and I think you have to have a yearly inspection.
I run the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club and between my brother and I we have 58 Kawasaki bikes which we have collected over the past 35 years and we have about 15 on red plates so the 45 day rego's make it very affordable as some of these would only go out 3 times a year or less.
To a lot of people this scheme sounds good but when you look into it, it's not for most.

yeah i'm skeptical how applicable it is to most of us, designed for and pushed for by people like MG club etc... people who have original classics... definition of a hot rod would be pretty strict

they definitely are trying to avoid any race or rally cars or modified street cars

Do you need a current RWC if the car is currently registered? If so there's another $70 or so plus what ever they decide to make you fix.

I think mods/engine swaps will still have to be engineered.

definately sounds awesome! how can it be for standard vehicles, it includes hot rods and replicas?

After reading all that it seems like more effort than it's worth lol

Been through all this with the m/bike club I run.
You will need to be a member of a car club that has a permit scheme and have your car inspected by the club's safety inspector or a current RWC. with the new rules they seem to have come down heavy on modified vehicles, our inspector was told that they have to be as close to standard as possible.
Costs are $64 for a 45 day permit and $114 for a 90 day permit. These come with log books and if you get caught driving without it filled in it is the same fine as driving an unregisted vehicle.

supposed to be around $120 for 90 days

lack of exact details though
