You've got to be happy looking at that little blue plate !!!

The whole procedure appears to be as easy as preparing the space shuttle for launch. No wonder there are so many engineering and compliance modification companies out there.

I find it bizarre that you can't legally drive a coaster full of seats, but fill it with camping gear, and you can....

Looking forward to the next episode.

Looking good John!

Only a few small steps now

Cheers mate

Wont be long and then the girls will be happy and us other poor male solos will have less chance of scoring LOL.

Hope all goes well and you can get the Ks mounting up.

Regards
Brian

Good on you John, sounds like it won't be long and you will be out and about again.

Hi and thanks for the good wishes, if all goes well for the last two steps and I get the Coaster number plated I will need a couple of pensions to catch up and finalise everything, so that looks like the 22nd would be the earliest and two weeks later the latest. Up to date I have spent $3100 since I have been in Frankston with $250 for the roadworthy plus $400 rego still to be paid. I got off the boat from Tassie with $1500 so have had to save up the balance, one of my friends paid for the shockies so he has to be repaid $400 before I set off.

All the hassle will be worth it but I will be pleased to relax the purse strings, I have been on a very tight budget since mid October at Greens and subsequently around Tassie then here at Frankston allowing me to buy the Coaster and then prepare it for registration. I am anxious to start off on my travels again but can wait the last few weeks to set off safely with everything done correctly.       John

 

Great to hear you are progressing through the redtape and it is coming together. Just to put a"cat amongst the pidgeons", the dairy farm we are on has a multitude of "Poddies" so it is difficult to make a choice with so many as can be seen by the photos.

Cheers Kev and Kim.

Hi John

Pleased to hear it is all working out, as I was confident it would. Just goes to prove: follow the processes and comply with what is required and you will eventually get there.  Many of us live in the immediate society, where if it's not ready now it is just too much hassle.  By doing the work others wouldn't you have saved an awful lot of money in the long run. Even though you've had to spend money you didn't necessarilly budget for it will be worth the peace of mind knowing that those jobs are done before you set out.

cheers

John

Hi Julie & Billy, hows it in Bega ??????
