Wouldn't it be nice to build replicas as they do in the states with no regard for ADR's, chassis torsional considerations no emissions requirements or seat belts, just go with a big block with twin tunnel ram manifold and demon carby's, 5 point harnesses, side exhausts pumping out 100+Db etc etc...
The yanks are one of the most litigious countries in the world yet are so relaxed when it comes to replica's and road rules it is not even funny..
Sorry for the rant, but it would seem that in comparison to the states we get anal probed just to build something that we use on the odd occasion, and understanding safety etc.. we are still so heavily regulated and none of the states in OZ talk to one another which makes it even more difficult to build these cars - something has to change and we need to follow the US for ICV's IMHO.. This will benefit everyone building these cars and create a greater economy as the varying rules are the biggest hurdle to jump when building a kit car...
