I'm with the pink slip on this one. i can imagine having to deal with every clown who wanted to register a car with a sump full of leaks, or a bald set of tyres, or a stinking great engine swap on drum brakes.....something along that set of lines.

They are always the same, they would like you to look over these shortcomings because while they're not too busy to take time out of your day to inspect their car, they're too busy to make their cars roadworthy. Knock them back and you will be an arsehole, or something like that.

These days under the statute of the WH&S Act (which gazumps anything anyone cares to write in club rules) when that fellow goes on and spears into a kindergarten, it will be the Officers of the club (ie the committee members....ie YOU) who will be prosecuted for doing that guy a favour. As of 2011 a person successfully prosecuted under the Act gets a criminal conviction too....and once the criminal charge goes through the civil claims and liability will step in.... and there goes your hopes and aspirations for the future for you and your family.

The fellow with the bald tyres will walk away telling all and sundry he feels disappointed that the nasty negligent club official convinced him his car was safe. Maybe if he's cheeky he will sue you for damages as well.

For the discount they get in reg, I reckon they can go get a roadworthy. I don't know why any committee member in their right mind would take on the responsibility for other people's liabilities.

If I was in the MCCNSW and wanted to take a longer journey what would be the process?

This IS a very serious and LEGAL matter that appears to be treated too lightly. I'm sure these comments are well intended BUT don't underestimate the responsibilities of the clubs' registrars. If you were in this position, would you be happy for some of the less that responsible members driving all over the place and then the dreaded call asking "do you know this guy and do you condone their actions?" Let's see the fine detail first, respect the club registrars & have open communication with them first - that's how the members of my club operate.

I'm not sure how or why this has turned into a MCCNSW bashing. As a non-member (ex-member) I absolutely respect the right MCCNSW have to impose what ever rules they see fit in order to uphold their commitment to RMS.

Maybe someone from MCCNSW could comment on wether or not the club will be implementing the new trial for the 2year period. Would members still be expected to attend at least 3 club events a year?

The 60 days is in addition the the existing rules. It means you don't have to wait for confirmation on a day book entry before you go out.

From what I have read, it's up to the club how they manage this. A lot of clubs require the pink slip (e-safety check) to cover their own butts and simply use the inspection day to ensure that the owner is keeping the car within the 'spirit' of the scheme i.e period correct. You must remember that not everyone is a mechanic, and some people who think they know what 'safe' is, know nothing at all.

I know personally if I was the person responsible for the club, I would either want to be a qualified mechanic or I would require a pink slip.

thank you... Someone who understands the position I am in. (I am the historic Plate Registrar for that "HITLER CLUB" of NSW.)
No one seems to be acknowledge the No 1 RMS "RULE" which state that "THE CAR IS TO BE AS CLOSE TO ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE"

Yours would pass no worries Ryan for historic plates

Technically it shouldn't pass as it has everything on it to make it look like a cooper S it's no longer how the car came out the factory
