hey, what's the go with rego on these?
are they reg'd as motorcycles, and as so you need a motorbike licence to drive it?
or are they reg'd as a car, with tourer rego, like say a manx.
if so, do helmet laws apply?

some thing like this ?

or a subaru unit

Lic is in class form as follows
LEM = under 450 kg no cat converter ( basic VW )
LEM1= above 450kg needs to have cat converter seat belts ( lap ) seat head rests

you need a big bike lic ( car lic is in the ACT some time away )
helmet yes unless you have pass on this from a doctor or other

If you can get one under 20 k second hand your doing well

The blue one runs a 1641 twin port 4 speed ( not for sale )

Green one is a subaru ej22 with the factory auto , very fast ( not for sale )

How many $ do you wish to spend ?
I will have a vw 1600cc done end of feb 25K

I've forwarded the details to my old man.
I don't know how much he was planning, or expecting to spend.
thanks for your help. :)
