Herald Sun story..... And the Editor of said publication to boot.....

Yes, there's problems, and yes, there's been loopholes that some have used and abused, but VicRoads has it more than in hand, they know what is what and who is who, and when you also have the real info that was conveniently left out of that sensationalised media story that is just only there for another front page to sell, then you know that 99% of CPS users are doing the right thing and have nothing to fear.

It seems to me that whatever system of registration is used, there will always be those who don't comply. Some people drive unregistered cars without licences, sometimes with a gutfull of booze. Its sad, but those that do the right thing should not be penalised.
I'm happy that NSW is doing the trial. Good thing is they are introducing a Modified cars scheme in phase 2 next year. This will hopefully satisfy the rodders and stop them going for historic rego.
Today I opted into the scheme and gained 2 logbooks.I look forward to using my old cars more, to keep them trip ready. I like driving them, cause they are good to drive, and I can fix them when they go wrong, as distinct from the moderns with their technotrickery.
I hope the trial is a success, and will be doing my bit to stay between the guidelines.
Cheers, Matt.

is actually having the opposite effect Dave.
bringing more cars out means they are used more, which keeps overall costs for everyone down due to quantity.

problem in Vic was that the new scheme came in as a hash of the old and new. they should have dumped the old ideas completely and started again, but as they kept the "club inspection only" idea and no RWC, it was rorted.... that's why the new rules are in place, and is what they wanted from day 1 but couldn't implement in time.
is typical government rulings. takes stupid amounts of time, and CPS stuff is not even a blip on a political radar, so it gets pushed down. change of government pushes it even further.

"pop up clubs" is the internal (and now external) term Glenn. they are the ones who are targeted as its obvious why they now exist.
we're more than safe. Wal has had discussions with people at the coal face (let's just say it's very handy to know people), and as we've always done the right thing and been on the system for over 20 years, we're cool.

honestly, I dob in people who are only using the system to be tight asses like those you mention. people I know or not makes no difference.
they are not in it for the right reasons, so they should not have access to it in my book.
if people disagree, fine, but we've worked too hard to too long, both as a club itself and as a small wheel in a much bigger system to have it screwed over by late comers who only see the rort, not the classic car scene.
