BUGA membership might qualify for Cheap Rego

[Bedfordcrazy]

Hey mark, our rego went up $6 for 10-11 year, that was a good year, they tell me to expect a $20+ increase from 11-12 onwards, so at some stage the cruiser could get garaged. When you add on annual insurance of around $700 to $800 a year, and that is going to jump because of the disasters in the last 12 months, I can expect to pay around $2,500 this year just on rego and insurance, glad the van is not registered yet. Hey my scooter gets free rego, so i can just park the cruiser and drive my scooter, just need to fit a super charger to it first, hehe, leave those jap cars sitting at the lights. heha

Vanner065,

Thanks for this info on the Australian Street Rod Federation (ASRF). This could be the lead I am looking for.
I notice the club's address is in QLD, and it is in incorporated in South Australia. Are you also based in QLD or SA, or "Way Past Melbourne"?
I am in Victoria, and I'm wondering if you are required to present the van annually to the club for Club Permit approval.

Cheers,

Rubber

Gday,
I just got my rego renewal for my 76 CF Bedford van its now 0ver $800 a year.
The Wife isnt too happy given we only ever drive it about 6 times a year for
a run down the coast etc.

I was telling a work mate and he said why dont you join a club and get
Club rego?

Apparantly for vehiles 30 years older or more one can get special
discounted rego. Just wondering is your Beddie registered as a camper?

For show vehicles, street rods and other special use vehicles
see
http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/c32ee6a7-60a1-4134-bb68-78482b08696d/special_interest_vehicle_scheme_guide.pdf
Any way I wanted to know if this idea was ever raised before? I reckon a
number of BUGA members only use their vehicles for show or as a hobby and
if we incorporated then members could benefit with regos of only ~$100 a
year.

what can we do to put this idea out to everyone?
Anyone interested???



Thanks

My post is lost in the middle, Is your Beddie regoed as a camper?

[Rubber Bedford]

Hi petrol head,

In answer to your question, no, my beddie isn't a camper. Just a regular SWB CF van. With a mattress and a gas cooker if need be.

Does the camper registration disqualify you from a Club Permit?

cheers, rubber

Here in WA rego for a camper is heaps cheaper all you need is what you allready have but the gas bottle has to be vented to the outside

Early this year I put my old Fairlane on club Rego,
You join the club, ($50 for the one I joined)
Their scrutineer comes out and gives your car a once over, ($50 acar)
then they give you a Vicroads form, which you take to Vicroads, not the car!!
I gave them $60 something dollars for 45 days, which I can up to 90 if I need.
They send the plates and log book in the mail.
There is no R.W.C. , NO STAMP DUTY or transfer fees.
If you get pulled over and you don't have your log book or it's not filled in for that day, it is classed as unregisted and BUSTED, if your car is a dangerous pig and you get pulled over, not only do you loose your rego , the clubs in the SHIT too.
The log book is simple, Date,   Driver,    Destination .    Geelong/Melb  will pass.

My bedford will get club rego when it's due, cos I like saving $500 A YEAR, PER VECHILE, now lets see, 11 cars and bikes, means may be I can too aford all the regos, and drive in style every day in a differant car and save money so I can buy more!!!!!!! ( or pay for the petrol)

Hey Rossie,

Thanks for the info. I have my LWB and a charity bash car needing to do the same. What club are you with? I'd love to contact them to see if mine are able to be club rego'd. (PM me if you prefer)

Adrian.
