Yes
A day of hot wind, seems there too much panky hanky
going on in the mod world once its registered for road use as is.
and all the naughty current certifiers there all corrupt or so they say
they'll approve anything,what is going on?
The sooner some brave soul stands up and makes himself
a political voice for car enthusiasts an honest person he he
it will just get worse, if this keeps up, this nonsense,, next youll be converting the steering to RHD or back to left to pass on road usage back to the seventies Gene.....cheers............:exact:

1. THE CURRENT POSITION‎
ACMC & the Enthusiasts Conference
The ACMC held an Enthusiasts Conference at Eastern Creek on Sunday 26th February where the Minister and the RTA/RMS met with delegates, made a number of announcements and an swered questions.

Following the conference the ACMC issued this statement:

Today's inaugural Motor Enthusiast Conference was a phenomenal success and we would like to thank all of the conference delegates and car show participants for their enthusiastic contribution.

Over 160 delegates had the opportunity to engage with the Minister and senior members of the RMS whilst outside hundreds of enthusiast cars were on display.

In attendance at the conference were:

Minister for Roads & Ports, Hon Duncan Gay MLC,
Senior Policy Advisor – Mr Andrew Huckel,
Acting Director for Customer and Compliance Services – Mr Peter Wells,
Deputy Director General for Policy and Regulation, Transport NSW –  Mr Tim Reardon,
Principle Manager Roads, Registration and Licencing at Transport for NSW – Mr Terry Hickey
Manager Regulatory Scheme Policy, RMS – Mr Ken Cleary
RMS Vehicle Inspector – Mr Greame Snell,
Street Machine Magazine Editor - Geoff Seddon,
And

NSW Nationals Party Executive and Conference Chairman – Mr Alan Hay
 

NSW Nationals Senator John Williams also came alone to show his support for the Motor Enthusiast Community.

 

The key aspects of Minister Gay's speech included the following announcements:-

Section 55A of the 'Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulation 2007' reinstating the relevance of ancillary documents and alternative options to meet compliance.
A respected member of the Motor Enthusiast Community to be appointed  to the Safety Board that reports to the Minister
A new working group is to be formed in order to review outstanding issues pertaining to standards, legislation and implementation and reporting to the Safety Board. The Working Group is to have representation from the Motor Enthusiast Community, Signatories, RMS, Transport for NSW and NSW Police.
The 'abridged' break test is not to be mandatory but at the discretion of the Certifier
The 'abridged' break test is to be forwarded to the new working group for review; the Minister insists that any resolution must be safe, practical and affordable.
It is not intended that electronic stability control be mandatory on vehicles that do not already have an ESC.
When a dispute arises over the originality of pre ADR components a panel incorporating the Motor Enthusiast Community will be formed to report their findings to the RMS
VSI 50 will be forwarded to the new working group for resolution
VSB14 and VSI 59 will be forwarded to the new working group for resolution
Following 8+ years of stagnation the 'National Guidelines for Street-Rod Modification & Construction' will be forwarded to the new working group for resolution
It has been a historic day for the Motor Enthusiast Community and a new proactive relationship has been entered into with the RMS. There is still much work to be done but we are confident that within this new environment of consultation we can achieve our goals.

In recognition of his unparalleled contribution to the Motor Enthusiast Community; Conference Chairman Alan Hay was appointed Patron of the Australian Confederation of Motor Clubs. Congratulations Alan!

The RMS have provided documented answers to the questions submitted which will be available on the ACMC website on Tuesday.

 A video recording of the morning session of Conference will be available on YouTube this evening.

 Once again, thank you all for your continued support.

It ended up being a positive day! The ACMC had been in talks with the Govt. for the past 8 monthes or so and They actually listened! The conference was very professional and Duncun Gay (Min for Trans) was very pleasant. I am hopeless with details but basically the Govt and RTA will now work WITH the ACMC when making policies! so that means no more idiot RTA people telling us whats best for us! It was good to see Duncan Gay actually tell the RTA to pull there heads in (figuratively) and to work with the enthusiest comumity and not against. The ACMC had conducted a company to work out the $$$figures of what our industry brings to the country and to NSW.....NSW mod car industry is worth up to $400million annually and something like 900million nationally and employs thousands of jobs SO they had listen!!!!. I think the ACMC has done a fantastic job.

heres a couple of boring conference shots....







and with Mr Rodders life...



and here with this grovelling man??????



He liked Garry Nelsons new ZO6 Vette  car because it looked like a VIPER! (he was pointing to it)
