Quote: Which club? This one, or yours?

I was working along the Hume Highway last Friday in the Marulan area. This is the main road between Sydney & Canberra, where the Summernats are held. All of the traffic is funneled into this one road at this point & the cops & RTA inspectors were having a field day. There were cars that had been directed into the truck checking station & were geting a full going over. I cracked up. There were those who had spent a lot of money & had done an absolutely spectacular job of building some very fine cars, but had not done their homework.

The first thing would be those late 1970's & '80's cars that no longer complied with the relevant subsection of ADR 27. This is the section that relates to engine emissions. As soon as the engine is modified, it is deemed to no longer comply with the relevant ADR unless it is tested & a compliance document can be produced.

From there they start to get serious. I believe that a couple were grounded, not to be moved on a public road under their own power untill rectification of the "unroadworthy" conditions were caried out & inspected. I felt sorry for them.

P.S. ADR = Australian Design Rule
