I called TransportSA recently when I was defected. I was told they no longer issue these permits. I had the girl confirm it with her manager, he said as your car is technically still not roadworthy it can't be driven and that loop hole had be closed. Looks like they lied to me those pricks.

Haha dude, you get different stories from each staff member in Transport SA. I got a permit once for the GTR ages ago when it wasn't registered yet, and the girl behind the counter told me I was not allowed one due to having no registration. After arguing with her and then her manager, I was allowed the permit (I was transporting the car to and from a mechanic - the car had a compliance plate, so it's fine). But she said "you're not allowed to stop the car anywhere along any roads or turn off on any other roads unless specified here" and I said "What if I had to go to the toilet and had to turn off?" she said "No. You cannot turn off onto any other roads".

Yet a few weeks later, I got another permit and put down all these different stops and roads and never got questioned... he even gave it to me at a super cheap price (must have gotten it wrong somehow).

Transport SA have no idea. Just go there and cross your fingers that the muppet behind the desk actually knows how everything works. Just try waiting in line at Service SA in the city and you're bound to hear a handful of complaints from angry people saying "But on the phone, I got told..." and "I want to speak with your manager! No! I will write to my local minister about how shocking your customer service is!".

you're allowed more than one stop as long is it listed in your route and as long as the stops are related to the vehicle's repair or final destination.

Laws changed not long ago regarding permits for unregistered vehicles possibly due to constant CTP issues

    • I like their veal scallopini.
    • Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge
    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
    • Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
