Thats interesting Martin. Did you send a letter or email?

400TT. I hope that what you are saying is correct, but to be honest i think you need to reconsider your opinion. At this stage there are no exceptions to the rule. The many ADR's that you refer to that ICV's do not have to comply with are mainly those that relate to destructive test methods. Without the ICV community voicing their concerns there will not be an exclusion for this ADR. Do you think that Mr Albanese is going to stop and think.."you know what, maybe there are people that cant comply with this i better make an amendment that allows for exlusions". That is not going to happen without us and every other enthusiest voicing their concerns.

They dont trust us to do anything, that is why cars are tested and inspected. I am sure that if this is enforced, testing will be required like with the 160kph brake test. If you dont pass, you dont pass full stop.

ICV builders just don't have the budget and resources to get it to work 100%.
This is true, but they dont give a s**t.

Sorry to get all excited, i dont want to offend anyone, but i dont think we can be complacent about this and expect it will be fine. If i was selling kit cars i wouldnt be letting my business be open to chance. People need to be proactive.
