I have my Van on club reg in Vic with the Australian Street Rod Federation - main base in Qld. There are no conditions (vehicle condition, attending meeting or runs) from the club other than to be a financial member, which is about $70 per year. The Club Permit through Vic Rods costs about $130 per year - includes $90 TAC (3rd party) and entitles me to 90 days on the road, for any purpose - just need to log your drives in book. Initially need rodworthy certifiate or inspection by authorised club rep to get permit. You can get cheaper for 45 day permit. Full reg in Vic is close to $700 - I can live with red plates if it saves me about $500p.a. I did a lot of research initially with all the clubs having different requirements to sign of on permit - attend meetings, member for a couple of years first etc, then someone here told me about ASRF. Sounds like every state has different requirements. Cheers, Jez
