Club Rego!!

[Gaddy]

So as Im in the middle of renewing my insurances, Ive been asked twice if my cars are on CLUB REGO..
Now not knowing anything about it, I thought Id ask around here for some info.
How do you get it?
What are the pros/cons of having it?
And any other info you have that might help me get my head around it.

Thanx!!

ive been a club registrar for one club for a few years now....now anything i say from here on in relates to NEW SOUTH WALES ONLY....
firstly it must be a registered with fair trading car club with x amount of members and x amount of eligable cars..
generally you must be a member of registered car club for 6 months or more and go on x amount of runs..this is a car club thing not fair trading..
eligable cars are 30 years and older..this is rta law..
vehicles must be as close to stock/original as possible to qualify for club rego but there is a clause that says period modifications are acceptible..(BIG GREY AREA)..sometimes depends on how anal the car club commitee and its registrar are..
restricted to a supposed 8000k a year and you need permission to use your vehicle from said club people...(which can be a problem if they are anal)
you are allowed to take your vehicle for minor and major road testing to a limited area (5k radius for minor)....(11 k radius for major)..this again depends on the clubs constitution as to wether they accepted originally what the rta recommended or wether like myself when i was setting it up i pushed outside the rta boundaries and it was rejected at first but finally accepted..
club rego is $80 for the first year plus whatever club fee there may be and $50 for every year after that..this also makes your insurance real cheap..(one of my cars is $350 for 85k)
there is more but this should give you an idea of the bullshit that goes with club registration in nsw...

Well said Oz!! Thanx 4 that.
Sounds too hard to me!!:knockout:

Do you know what the x is for amount of members and cars Oz? And does the club have to pay the RTA an annual fee or anything as well?

Our friend from Orange was told that you can make up a club as long as there are 3 members at least, then they can decide where and when they are going on a run...does anyone know if this is correct, as it sounds to good to be true...that would mean he, us, and another couple would just form up our own sandman club in Central west NSW and have our own outings....

I'm about to embark on this locally (Newcastle)

Forming your own club Byron? Or just getting your Premier on club rego.

3 Members per club would be too good to be true. I've got enough eligible cars to double that and then some.

Now there's a idea worth looking into...

I have another vehicle on Club Reg in SA, clearly different rules apply in each state and implementation between in Club as per Oz's post.

In SA you have to run a specific Log Book, you can use vehicle for upto 90 days/per, no restriction on km's etc. But if you are pulled over and you have not completed your log book entry then you are considered to be driving an unregistered vehicle... Different car clubs do it differently wrt to having to go on club runs, once off vs annual inspection of vehicles etc.

The DTEI web site has the info for Sth Aust.
