How old does my car have to be to go on "Club Plates"?

The short answer is 30 years. BUT a replica of an older car could comply. For example, a recently built Shelby Cobra or replica '31 Ford Roadster Street Rod.

Can P platers drive V8 CPS vehicles?

Yes. Because the CPS is considered to be a permit by VicRoads there are no power restrictions on P platers.

Is the world going to end if P platers drive V8's?

No.

What sort of vehicles will the club allow?

Anything that complies with RMS regulations. The Australian Street Rod Federation have exclusive rights to Street Rod registration. It is a good system and the ASRF are well respected and very good at it. There is a new "Modified" registration which has slightly different engineering standards. Vehicles on SR plates must be VASS re-engineered to go on M plates. A fully registered "Street rod" with an old VASS engineers certificate can go on M plates. e.g. A fully registered 1932 roadster with an existing VASS certificate, scrutineered and complies with VSI 33 etc is eligible for M plates. If in doubt check the VicRoads website and read up on the VSI 33, 14, 22 etc. etc. Do your homework.

Is the owner responsible for his car?

Yes. Within the controlling legislation it is very clear the owner of the vehicle is responsible for their vehicle's compliance with VSI 33, Road Rules etc. If it comes to the attention of the club that the vehicle has been made to not comply we will seek to have the vehicle brought back to standards. If the owner refuses VicRoads will be notified. It has happened.

What do I do first?

There are a group of things you must do to get red plates. The order of things is not critical BUT when you go to VicRoads all those things must have been done correctly. The secretary, me, the guy that edits this website will ensure you have everything as it should be. The owner has to make an effort too. Read the website, do some homework and learn what it is you need to know. Ignorance is no excuse.

What is your privacy policy?

Our privacy policy is based on RMS policy. The legislative control for RMS and us can be found in the 10 National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act members details that will remain confidential.

It is rumoured that you are the best club around. Is this true?

Yes.

Do you give free advice?

Yes. This is it.

Can I register my car if I live interstate?

Yes. A car must be garaged in NSW.

Does the club allow dodgy cars?

No, of course not. Don't even ask. Be aware of the requirements. It is easier to comply than to not.

Are slim line plates or smaller plates available?

Not yet, we are working on it.
