I know I will be shouted down with club rego but i will pass on what i know to be fact for nsw,
I am menber of a regestered club with roads,I do own 76 VISOUNT IT'S NOT A VAN CLUB BUT NO WORRIES WITH THE CLUB OR ROAdS THE VAN GETS A HEALTH CHECK FROM THE CLUB REGO GUY than off to roads for the proper paper work fill it in with docs about cost year safty report from club.I can use the van for 60 days a year plus any club events the movement of the van must be kept in a log book given out by roads,thats it total cost for first year $51.00 and 26 yearly after that.first rego you have to pay for the plates
anyway thats in nsw must ADD THAT THE 60 DAYS IS A TRIAL Being used by roads to see if it's going to help keep old vehicles

Sounds like a nice deal, so did you do it?
They do a similar scheme in Vic for trailers not sure of the cost. Full rego is not that dear so I have not bothered to look into it.

Sounds like a good deal for NSW owners. As mentioned, here in Vic is cheap anyway - $55 a year for a van, even a new 3 tonne behemoth, although you can get club reg in your trailers for around half that, but it's hardly worth goin to the effort here. Good news.  |

club permits are nothing short of brilliant. I had 5 cars and a caravan on them for a while in Victoria. Back to 3 permit cars now.... but two fully registered (which sucks).

Qld needs to look at other states: *Here our Mustang has 15km radius unless on a club event. *Cannot be used for weddings or formals unless its your immediate children. *Cannot be used for transport ie, you can't go to a shop & park it. *Full rego is $1000 + , club rego is $180. |

Queenland did review the Special Interest Registration in 2011and decided that the system they have in place was working well and easier to administer. So until they decide to review the system again (if ever) we will have to pay overpriced registration for only a handful of days of driving. The price we pay in Qld for owning "big boys toys".

The Victorian system used to be that. It was shithouse (no other way of describing it). A lot of clubs were strongly against the logbook change. You see the nazzies in the clubs wanted power over there members  If your still under that shithouse system, take a page of the ferals car club page .. feralsportscarclub.net/CarClub.htmlFor some reason there is thousands of car clubs in Victoria. I founded a club here in Ballarat, we try to keep membership to less than 20people. seeya, Shane L. |

The 'ferals' are a very active group. the info on the permit scheme is a little out of date, Vic Roads changed it for the better.
Did you notice that a lot of the cars in the Pics are running on full rego

I'm not much of a club person myself. I dont' have the time to get to meetings... And I like tinkering with cars ... where as a lot of club members seem to NOT be hands on at all these days I'm keen to join the ballarat classic and vintage club at some point... It's a very big club, but I just don't have the time or $$$ with a young family. Oneday seeya, Shane L. |

Our club is just a small group of like minded individuals. Invite only, it currently has 12 members. Meetings are only 4 times a year and you only need to show up at the AGM to get your permits signed off if that's all you want. We have it set up so it meets all the requirements for VicRoads, and we are a fairly active bunch and we seem to have vehicles end up at shows on a regular basis - which is what VicRoads likes to see. Working now on a club photo album as proof for all this as VicRoads continues to close small clubs down every week that were only set up for cheap reg - there days are numbered. Oh - Shane - it's a Ballarat based club as well and 2 of your vehicles would qualify in our club. |

We have maybe a dozen members over the place. Most of us have been around classic cars for many years, but just can't be bothered with the BS that goes with the larger car clubs........ Actually now I think about it .... Gee's were a bunch of no hopeless cases. I'm trying to think of someone in the club that doesn't have a yard full nuts, er, I mean "restoration cases". We'll all be ancient and dead before we finish even half of them (and that's only if we win tatts). We must have 20 cars on permits easily through the club. Everything from Stage 1's -> through to the only '56 Citroen DS19 on the roads in Australia (not ID19, DS19 ... big difference). seeya, shane L. |

VicRoads are actively seeking out small clubs (usually one or two members at the moment) that only run a 'club' so they can run highly modified vehicles and to get cheap rego. Approved club numbers are down by over 100 since the new laws came in. If your club, like ours, is there for the rights reasons, there is nothing to worry about, but if you are the president, secretary and only member of your club, I would worry.

Oh I get what your saying. Yes, our club has plenty of cars not under the committees members names. That is probably the telling point Does it really matter now you must have a roadworthy ( Damn it !!! ). I would have like to move my Range Rover to a club permit at the end of next year. The cost of getting a roadworthy to do this, will NOT be fun seeya, Shane L. |

Interesting stuff,
I heard there are a lot of 'new' 6 member clubs and I hear Vic Roads raised an eyebrow when they went from 8,000 cars on the permit scheme to 40,000. We run the risk of losing this scheme.

Yeah, I think that's why they're cracking down a bit now. It's like anything - a few idiots breaking the rules that will effect the majority that follow them.

We run the risk of losing this scheme. I've never had anything to do with car clubs or club rego, but have noticed a significant increase of club plates around town recently. Pulled up at the traffic lights yesterday next to a stock standard beige XF wagon with club plates (I only looked at it because it was a car dad owned and sold about 10 years ago). I suspect that the system is being worked here, and it will end in tears for the genuine club members. |

We run the risk of losing this scheme. No, I figure this just shows what an outstanding success the scheme is. Remember a huge number of this number of cars will be fully registered vehicles now moved to a club permit. One of our members had 8 fully registered vehicles ..... 6 got moved straight to permits. It also allowed "poor' people to drive there cars. Eg: Without the club permit scheme I would have ONE and only one car on the roads. How much I like driving and tinkering with old cars is irreverent if I have to pay $1000 in rego and insurance per car. currently I have 3 cars on club permit. That would be $3000 bucks a year I'd have to find. There is not a snowmans chance in hell I could pay that, the cars would all be put straight off the road and parked in the back of the shed ( thinks single wage earner, 3 young kids paying off a house .... Life doesn't get any better than this  ). We don't want being able to tinker with old cars something only the wealthy can do. seeya, Shane L. |

Just because we find XF fowlcans about as appealing as a steaming turd, doesn't mean others don't like them. THIS is the bit I love about this scheme, it allows ANYONE to get ANY sort of vehicle they desire and drive it 90days a year. The wealthy biggoted minority that think THEY should have the ability to say what they consider worthy to used as a "classic" don't have a say in anything.... Much to there distress. Bloody brilliant isn't it I've even started admiring ridiculous old american cars ..... damn, I even stopped a looked at a crappy old datsun 120Y a few weeks back that was on club plates .... I haven't seem one of them on the roads since I was a teenager See what I mean .... brilliant right |

I have not seen the person that made the statement for quite awhile. Yep he is in a car club and heavily involved with Vic Roads and the new scheme. The big change has been in the use of the car not the cost.
xf fowlcans well 'love is in the eye of the beholder' get out and enjoy it.

I love the club permit scheme, I have two cars on permits (one in each of my clubs) both are on 45 days and in a twelve month period I might use each of them about 14-16 times which for me is enough, if I only had the full rego option I would be down to one car and I would seriously wonder if I really needed that one, a lot of various businesses rely on restorers to keep them going and if we stopped overnight a lot of them would hurt.

I don't know your state, but 45 days I could handle that. I can only do formals/weddings for my immediate family, (no cousins) 15km radius from where kept, not to be used for transport, utter rubbish in Qld.  The price is too cheap $190 vs $1000.00, for full rego. There should be an intermediate fee, for casual use. |

I have, let me count, um, 3 cars on the permit system at the moment Everytime the sun comes out down here, it's like a state wide classic car run. It's incredible! seeya, Shane L. |
