Hi,

just came across this in another forum.... If you are in Victoria and don't use your datto more than 90 days a year then consider a cheaper way of allowing it to stay registered

"How will it change?
Under the new scheme permit holders will no longer be
restricted to club sanctioned activities when using their
vehicles. Vehicles will be able to be used at any time for
any purpose. However, they will be restricted to a total of
90 days use a year"

yeah its my plan b if engenieering falls through.

how much is the permit?

maybe i can re-reg my sedan and have 2 on the road for the price of my current ute reg?

supposed to be around $120 for 90 days

lack of exact details though

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.

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

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

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

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.

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
