Grass parking was off due to wetness, so there was less to be seen in the carparks generally.

This chev chassis was fairly amazing. Much metalflake and a 348/409. Early 60's I guess?

Only felt slightly nervous walking under this.

Valgas is sweet.

Some pics from the Tararua Rodders show in the weekend past.

Either that or caravan derby it already.

Got my entry in. Might manage to do a few more of the driving events this year. 

Is that Aviemore?

Mine just has the size on the plate. No offset information.

I don't think the 5% threshold applies to a certed car. They need to match the plate technically.

Has it been certed? I guess not.

Here's rules

https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/tyres,-wheels-and-hubs/tyres-and-wheels

It looks like it depends on whether the inspector. The LVVTA threshold for tyres:

Fitting of or modification to: LVV Certification is not required provided that: 
Tyre size changes : the tyres have an outer rolling circumference that is not more than 5% greater than OE;
and are an appropriate selection for rim width; and
have tread that does not extend beyond the original or modified body panels or guard extension

So, if they look too stretched to the inspector they could/should fail you or send for a cert (which wouldn't be obtainable with that size it seems).

Suck it and see I reckon.

Don't take it to Roger though as he will read this

Still on the lawn?

Tried the lvvta forum?

Doesn't the letter of the law state it needs cert.  Probably why Don says it does.

Unless the insurance company will write it in a letter then I wouldn't believe them for a second.

Yes. Fully agree.

Have had some communication on that fine specimen. We'll be camping in Hanmer over Christmas so might make a parts run if it is still around then.

Filled one hole

Also zapped some small holes in the horizontal part. Just need to fix a bit of the pinch weld on this side and it will be done.

Took the glass out of the other side. I can see why it was a bit leaky there.

May have been requested to be blank if it had a PP?

Or maybe it was dereg at certification time. VIN would be the primary identifier anyway.

Pesting?

Good work!

Damn right. Although as I've said on another forum we both frequent I believe that older vehicles should be tested more often than new ones.

What a crock. 

Pick up one of these?

That wagon was FS on the tard recently I think.

Yuk.
