BUGA membership might qualify for Cheap Rego

It's a club called Muscle'n'Chrome, It's local to Ballarat, and they arn't to keen in the Bedford cos they say it's to big and getting away from there theme. Another bunch up here are talking about starting up one for the reg only. They are like me , with cars and bikes, vans and trucks. I'll be talking to a couple of them new years eve. That would suit me better if one club does all. I think one of the reason they like my fairlane is cos it's fully rebuilt and it can lift the frout wheels of the ground

Some family and friends and I are mid-process setting one up!!

My brother -in-laws a mechanic, has got a few diff cars he's gonna run on it (mostly for wedding cars) and a couple of weekenders, his mates got some old VWs, Ive got bessie and an old scooter. We're hoping to keep it non-specific vehicle wise, but we'll see how we go.

Apparently vicroads is slowing down on approving new clubs, so we'll see what happens, and I'll keep you posted if we're recruiting!!

I had a read of the Feral sports car club website; makes amusing reading.
Their story is helpful for making the best of the Victorian concessional rego system.

NSW is a different kettle of fish, there is an emphasis on originality/ period modification only (last time I read our rules); I don't know the Rod and Street Machine rules.
Any other NSW'ers able to chime in?

So...any takers to start a QLD Bedford  Users Group Assn

There must be at least 8-10 in SE QLD with 25 + year old Beddies that are not
Necessarily their daily ride, but want to belong to a club with few rules but allow
The possibility of reduced Rego so we can enjoy our hobby and keep the misses and
Family budget in check.

I would be a definite starter...what about anyone else...??

[Bullstik]

Hi worby, I wouldnt mind starting a club in QLD also. I'm sure my brother will put his hand up for this too

[Worby876]

Cool that's 3 ...any others ??

I'm assuming the same set up requirements for QLd but it might pay to have someone check with
QLD transport and fair trading etc.

anyone done this already?..

here's one of the hoops that would need to be jumped through firstly  to  eliminate personal legal liability

http://www.communitydoor.org.au/setting-up-an-incorporated-association-in-queensland

then these are the restrictions for special interest rego (very restrictive unless you are participating in a sanctioned club run)
http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/Registration/Registering%20vehicles/Street%20rods%20and%20vintage%20cars/Special_interest_vehicle_scheme_guide.pdf

What we really need in Qld is for the 45/90 day rego to be brought in like other states

[Poochimama]

IM INN WORBS...BUT i have to still pack up here in Melb and im moving back to Qld once we sell the houses!
Real estate in Vic is a buyers market at the moment,have to sit n  wait till it picks up here to sell,hoping mid year ill be back in Qld..YAY?
