Wow, fair enough, some people just have a bit too much time available in their day perhaps.
In the area I live in, I think most (including me) are just happy when they wake up to find their vehicle isn't sitting on bricks. Pick your poison I suppose.
I shudder to think what would happen with my Fuso!![]()
Does Victoria have annual inspections for vehicles over 4.5t ? Parking on the street and avoiding the need for annual inspections were the main motivation for keeping ours under 4.5t. The $500/yr or so it saves on rego is handy too!
We all have our own specific skills...I was having a long chat with Owen last night (no chat with him is ever short).

I try to do my best...we always compare how much phone battery power we consumed.
Vic doesn't. They go through the same roadworthy inspection as cars (it only happens at change of ownership - but very thorough inspection).Does Victoria have annual inspections for vehicles over 4.5t ?

I don't know about other states, but in Victoria, because I have farm property, for which my truck is used for, registration is ~$350 a year. My BMW motorbike is ~$700. The day we can get consistent (and hopefully sensible) regulations between our states on vehicles will be a good one.
Wow, $1150 (inc ~$350 CTP) in QLD @ 4.49ton and $1900 (inc ~$1200 CTP) for 6ton
I am really lucky, as I live in the ACT where we have the highest registration costs in the country!!!Wow! Those are some big numbers. I just renewed my reg. in Utah $88.![]()

For a 6 tonne truck, registered as a commercial vehicle, it costs $3200/year. If the truck is classified as a motorhome then the cost comes down to $1200/year. And that's as good as it gets here!
Add to that, any truck over 4.5 tonne has to go over the government pits every two years, for which there is an additional $130 inspection fee.
So... don't complain to me about your registration costs. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Slow down the build process??? Really??? I did not think that was possible...Of course, that would mean it'd need to be normally down here and might slow down the build process.
