Mike I don't know whereyou get you information from. Which clubs don't have strict scrutineering specifically? Certainly not the VMVC. Ask Euan McDonald if he will certify junk? And club vehicles need only be safeworthy, not roadworthy. As for buying old clunkers isn't that what we all have done. Keep things in perspective. And you can't interpret rules differently. A rule is a rule and that is what it is. It can have different interpretations but common sense is required. As for tyres over 10 years old, what a load of garbage. What law does that infringe upon? A tyre is roadworthy as long as it is roadworthy regardless of age. You are pedalling a load of hysteria here Micheal for no good or valid reason. If you have real concerns, not hearesay crap, take them up with people who can give you legitmate answers and stop causing angst amongst readers who may take this gossip as genuine fact.

You have to admit that some of the clubs don't have a strict srutineering policy , despite what the rules say. Some of the clubs are quite small and the inspectors can be unqualified anybodies eg joe blow's uncle , as long as he's a club member he can pass a vehicle as roadworthy .
Each club will interpret the rules differently . I think some clubs have a inspection day , when members bring their vehicles along for inspection .
A local here recieved a letter from his club ( a local truck club ) stating that tyres over 10 years old are not legal and any trucks will be disqualified from club reg if any tyres are over 10 years old . This is a case of a club enforcing the rules to the letter of the law , but many don't . MIKE
