Baz, you are merely reinforcing my comments.
John Staszynski was representing the Australian Cobra collective, not just the SA chapter.
His want was to try and have the cobra not classed as an ordinary ICV wherein one is exposed to ADR changes but to have some classification not unlike the Hot Rod association, set the standards as to the build/engines/etc and have them approved and fixed and then have the Cobra Clubs "manage" the build standards.
Have a look at this paragraph from the hot rod site: The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is a sub-committee of each State Council and will have the responsibility of:Liason between the State Registration Authorities and the ASRF.
Establishing and maintaining acceptable building standards for ASRF class vehicles with the objective of ensuring that these vehicles may be registered.
To amuse yourself even further go here

and look at the Street Rod Manual and then tell me why a cobra builder has so many restrictions whilst a hot rod builder has so many exemptions.
If the Australian Street Rod Federation can pull it off why can't the Cobra Clubs?.
I'll tell you why ... because the Street Rod Federation had the future of the movement in mind and got off their collective backsides and did the work.
Thats what
John Staszynski was attempting. Sadly, he was a sole voice.
