just noticed this now... honestly i cant imagine that could be true at all. $50k is a fark load of money, and those figures are a big big claim. i also dont see why people make a big fuss about 'street registered' In ACT, you go register a car, you do whatever you want to it and not let the rego run out and you dont have a problem at all, simple. i know NSW is different but what about other states?
