Rego on multiple vehicles
Hi All,
I know that many of you have a number of vehicles that are currently in roadworthy condition and/or are currently registered. I was wondering - How
the hell do you do it?
I have three vehicles registered at the moment - a daily for the wife, a daily for myself and the bug. We are looking at dropping down to one wage
with a little one on the way and I am trying to weigh up my options rego wise with the bug.
What is the go with Historic/Club rego? Is it that you can only drive it to club events? or is twice a month ok?
I haven't looked at the RTA yet, but I was wondering what you guys all do.
Cheers

Club/Special Interest/Historic Reg requirements and restrictions vary state to state... here in Qld you have a 17km radius from home for testing, or
getting to/from a service booking, plus calendar'ed club events and that's basically it.
I have a daily driver and my hillclimb car that are both on full/normal rego... the way I do it is by not having a wife, kids or responsibilities

I am currently on 4 cars
My daily
Wifes Daily
The Dub
A kombi
It is really only an additional $2k - $3k a year for the rego on the dub and the kombi
The dub is my toy and the kombi is just so damn handy.
They are already paid for.
I need it for holidays, going to the tip, taking the dog.
Neither the wife nor I want a kombi for a daily
That all said - I am on the home run to retirement 
I am well past the financial shackles of starting a family
Futue te ipsum!!!

I am a signatory for Club Permit Scheme in Vic for a club, and we will only sign for a stock unmodified vehicle of the model years our club caters
for. A RWC must be provided first time, and the vehicle must be sighted by a signatory each year.
Then you can have a 45 or 90 day permit to drive the vehicle any day (not just club days) up to 45 or 90 days a year using a logbook. If you are
caught without your logbook filled, you get an unregistered vehicle fine.
It is a Permit in VIc, not Rego.

The smoking idea is quite valid. $5000 a year per person is quite expensive.
Glad I don't smoke, that would be $100,000 over twenty years.
In VIC The permit includes TAC (Transport Accident Commission) cost

We are looking into budgeting now for home renovations, baby stuff, new furniture etc etc. You all know the expression "Happy wife, happy life." I
like the idea of taking up smoking, then quiting and spending the smokes money on the dub!
Is clubvw an historic authority? And I guess that a larger engine with some mild fiddling would exclude it from historic status?

This may not be correct, but I heard that there was talk about making the insurance side of things relate to the driver so you only pay once for the
driver instead of 4 times for 4 cars (4 is eg only). Makes sense as you can only drive one car at a time. You still need to pay the rego part on
each vehicle, but at least you wouldn't pay the green slip 4 times as it relates to covering the person/driver.
With that said, if the bastards are going to lose money I doubt they will bring it in.
I hope that all made sense and it does come into effect, Kev.

Unfortunately that makes perfect sense to people who want to own more than one car.
Most people I meet think it is crazy that I should want to spend time an money fixing and driving a noisy old car without air con, power steering etc
etc.
And you are right - it will cost the insurance companies money. It's like the NRMA roadside assist - I pay for it for each car I own. I know many of
you would say fix it yourself, which I can do most of the time, but that is not the point. I'm only driving one car at a time and they limit call
outs at any rate for the membership. So what's the go?
