$17 on top of normal registraton, isnt that much when you think of it but times it by how many cars are on the road, you have millions. Don’t we pay enough taxes from our hard earned money, &^%#! find the money else where. Not in our pockets. Soon we will all be riding around on scooter or on bikes, cos of all of this cop cap, fines, extra cost on rego's etc. My 2 cents. Cheers Rob

yeah they r MEANT to spend it on the road, but pfft the transport minister couldnt even name 1 project they were gonna use the extra 60 million they will raise with the 17 hike.

It will probably go into bracks's drinking fund then he can say' i was fannnntaassticcc' again. :P

Wouldn't we all love to claim it?

Unfortunately it is only claimable if you have to drive around "for work purposes" eg. call-outs, onsite work, so it doesn't include travel to and from.

If you are lucky enough to claim it, you can claim per km (to include all on-road costs) - I believe the going rate is around 66c per km according to the ATO.

HAhaah move to QLD - we're a lil redneck backwards compared to you guys - haven't evolved as much.

Got picked up for doing 45km over july last year and got $240 fine. Now it's gone up to $500 odd but in NSW i hear it's $1500 and in VIC it's a month's suspension! :-( feel sorry for you guys

Try going 40km over now and see how lucky you are. $700 fine + 6 month licence suspension. :mad:

italians (or most europeans) take a lot less shit that we do before getting angry.. australian's don't stand up for their rights and as a result get constantly screwed over.

rego costs have increased fairly steadily ever since i've started driving.. When i started it was around $320 I think.. now its up around $460. Rego increases are a fact of life unfortunately. The current situation is pretty untenable..with the roads supporting non-road projects (which was never the way it was meant to be) . We have revenue raising thru cameras, government putting the foot up cops asses to pull anybody over for anything, large petrol taxes, freeway systems we have to pay top dollar for each use and still are shithouse, and now increases in rego. Victoria is not a good place to be a driver!

I think its a lot closer to $500 now - this applies to melb only of course, rural areas are cheaper, which sux [to me]. Used to have HCC which takes off the $140 registration, gee i miss that!

I used to claim travelling to and from work when I was dee-jaying, claimed the max each year of 5000kms @ 60 odd cents. gee i miss that too...

Anyone got a time traveller handy :mad:

/end pessimistic rant.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
