Hi everyone
Im looking at trying to get my 79 xd ute on club rego, since its not used anymore, and will be a future project, it seems a waste to pay $900 a year for it to sit in the carport, but because of my personal situation and location this option may not be available to me. ill outline my position below and see if any forum members have any advice. My ute currently has rego (qld) but is not driven at the moment, due to a starting, ignition problem, I can get it to start and run, but the problem makes it unreliable and it is not used for this reason, but aside from this it is roadworthy. I will not be fixing this for the time being due to the fact that im not working atm for medical reasons and cannot justify the cost for a vehicle not used. if club rego is a option i will look at getting it fixed. So my questions are Can you join a car club with a vehicle that isnt in show condition, or not on the road atm? (mine was my first car and daily drive,work ute (that i wish to do up in the future) Are there any clubs close to me (redcliffe qld) I would be happy to be involved and help out with any club activitys, but for the time being my vehicle would not be involved. Any advice is welcome...

I think most car clubs would be glad of new members whether they own a car or not.
I'd be looking in your phone book, local service directory or the 'net for clubs. Then ring a few to see if they have club rego arrangements and what they are. (And that $900 isn't wasted ! ... it goes to help pay for all those good roads up there  )

most clubs just ask for a interest in the vehicles that they are about dont need a car to join in on their trips, cruises ect.
club rego is for stock cars in factory spec if it has shakers, 12 slots, tubs, ect and wasnt offered at factory time then wont pass IIRC hope you find a club soon mate if not move to WA and join perth falcons we always welcome new members.

I am a member of the Coupe club and all that is required to join is to have a passion for the cars. You dont have to own one to enjoy them...but it helps
 Not sure about the club rego side of things. It has been discussed a few times on here. If you do a search you will find heaps of info on it.

I am a member of the Early Falcon Car Club of Queensland and they are on this forum too.
You don't need a stunning example of a car for club rego just something thats not illegal just like normal requirements of rego. Like any club, just give them a call and ask the requirements of recieving Club Rego and joining. Good luck with the XD mate.

If your car is modified there is the option of SR plates (here in vic anyway) so street rods, modified cars, etc go on that scheme. H plates are for historic unmodified (or minimally) classic, veteran and vitage cars. And then there are RP plates for motorkhana, rally style cars. I think this is relatively the same in each state.
$900 for ute rego!! Stuff that, I whinge when I pay $410! But I do urge you, don't just look at a car club for 'cheap rego', get involved there are some great people in these clubs and you get great advice and help from them.

There's no factory-spec requirement for club rego up here, just need to show proof of membership of a compliant club and have a letter from a club official confirming the age of your car. There's a really good club on the Northside of Bris, has members with all levels of cars, can't remember the name of them for the life of me. Hopefully NET351 post-stalks me, finds this thread and tells us the name of his club.

In QLD, you're restricted to club runs, trips to the mechanic or trips within 20k's of your home for testing purposes. All the good clubs gazette runs to the north and south coasts from 8am-11pm Fri/Sat/Sun as well as runs to willowbank on test and tune nights, so no matter where you are, you're probably on a club run.

New regulations will be brought in to play in 2 years or so. Which will be a log book system not club runs... but no point going into detail as it is all still up in the air and won't be for a while Club events listed in the car clubs newsletter is the broad way of saying club runs. Swap meets, car club members funerals can all be under club runs and I think you can get away with 'maintenance runs'. Car must pass a safety inspection by a designated club representative or Vic Roads. galaxy_xr8, will PM you when I find the secretary's number!
