WGA Posted 7June, 2021 Report Share Posted 7June, 2021 When I was living in Europe, many many cities started to introduce low emission zones. I lived in Antwerpen in Belgium for 10 years and around 4 years ago they introduced a low emission zone right across the city to the extent that I could not even drive my 964 RS out of the garage and down the street without incurring fine. There wasn't even a permit system to allow you to drive old timers. They were just flat out banned and you got fined every time you entered the zone. So I ended up storing the car outside of the zone and drove their in a compliant car, swapped cars, went for a drive and then put it back in storage. njb, Raven and Niko 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the covid excuse! You Mexicans are gunna cop that added tax eventually 😡 Our dickhead government are about to raise license and rego AGAIN, plus raising house n land values. But they say they've helped SA residents reduce our electricity bills by...wait for it...up to $100 per year!

Coastr Posted 7June, 2021 Report Share Posted 7June, 2021 We really should be organising and pre-emptively making sure taking old cars off the road is a non starter politically. All you need is a big enough group to put pressure on a few marginal seats, and to give the useless media a story to run with some photogenic oldies and their jag they’ve had since the honeymoon. The stringent euro emissions probably have caused more pollution than they have saved. Millions of late model cars junked early because of excessive complexity meeting ever more difficult standards, fire up the smelters and make new ones! Much better!

After I had it for 6 months the rego and green slip renewal came in the mail, rego was normal, but the green slip was only $89. Turns out the dodgy bastards had it down as 125cc motor cycle but still with the Boxster VIN. TwoHeadsTas and Niko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Orchid Hills near Penrith Its a semi rural area high end real estate for that area problem is we share a post code with Werrington county , parts of Werrington county are low income earners and Housing commission , not a bad area in anyway just low to middle class incomes honest working class people not a problem area in any way , but every time I complain about a green slip price they tell me its the post code and that area that drives the price up , I think it is all bull shit as I can not see how there would be more claims made or anything that could make a difference to the price , if I rego my cars at the family farm witch is only 15 klm away ,,but a different post code I can save $150 on a green slip , got me farked what the difference is , still the same area . I dont do this because they ask were the cars are garaged and in the event of a accident I dont want to get in the shit for making a false claim on the vehicles garaged locations . The silly thing is my 911 is the cheapest of all my cars to green slip , I find this ironic as it is the car I am most likely to go through the pearly gates in ........backwards and on fire when I leave the road at some ludicrous speed GC9911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they knew someone at NRMA who did the dodgy for them. Obviously as soon as they put in the VIN their system would tell them it was a Porsche not a bike. I did let NRMA know that this was dodgyed but I wonder how it would have been for me if I had an accident when I was driving it? I bought it with legit rego and transferred it to my name properly as you do when you buy any second hand car. You don't actually see the previous green slip, so you have no idea that it is fraudulent... Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorten would want to crush your car for being too bourgeoisie and Morrison would want to tax it 200% while trying to convince you it was fiscally prudent to do so. Abbott would want it in a museum so he could ride his bike in the middle of the road. Whoever the greens leader is now would want to incite a screeching mob, burn the car and hold a show trial for crimes against the earth. there are no friends of the enthusiast in any parliament.
