Just as bad as getting a ticket for having a For Sale sign on your car - classed as a Movable Sign? What about those cars with company logos?

Governments and Councils have gone mad!

if you read it closely they only know the car was photographed with wedding ribbons on so incase it was getting used for profit or as a unregistored business they have sent a letter, if it was a case of just helping out family or a friend then that is fine

Not sure I believe that. Sounds like they're backpedalling with a piss weak excuse.

I'd like to see a copy of the formal letter they're sending, just to clarify. But if it is how it sounds, they really do need to get a fkn life!

Its all crap. They have to rewrite the whole act.

According to the act and the transport minister if you drive from here to melb with a mate and you split the cost of fuel then you can get charged.

GG gov.

Australian laws regarding vehicles have to be the bloody worst in the world.

Our government is full of tight ass f**k heads that will fine you for anything now.

Every other country seems to be so relaxed about vehicle laws, I don't get why this country makes a car owner feel like a damn murderer.

I swear to god I could cut my neighbours head off with a kitchen knife and face less penalty than if I went onto a main intersection of the town and did one donut at 1am.

What a joke!!! that is so stupid, believe the government I think the government is broke because they are doing anything they can to squeeze money out of people now. What pathetic excuse to get money. I pick up my friends parents and my friend all the time does that mean I am running a transport passenger service. Man the government is losing the plot!!!!!!

Reminds me of the new outdoor drinking laws where a guy was drinking outside a licenced premises in Rundle Street.

He was sitting down and drinking a beer but when he stood up, a cop passing by booked him because he was still holding the glass.

Cop told him the glass must remain on the table when you're not seated...........well how do you get the glass of beer out there in the first place then???? ;)

lol read the lame excuse given by the Minister for Transport..."This is just really about ensuring public safety if some of these vehicles are going out, [ensuring] that some of these vehicles are roadworthy."

Uh huh, so using them for a wedding means they're somehow more unroadworthy than other cars on the road??

I swear to god I could cut my neighbours head off with a kitchen knife and face less penalty than if I went onto a main intersection of the town and did one donut at 1am.

+1 Its friggin stoopid, Australian road laws are so unbalanced im suprised you cant get a fine for farting in your car with the windows down. At this rate maybe its the next thing on the list.

As for cutting your neighbours head off, you dont get demerit ponts for that. ;)

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
