Moving To Hobart

[Kube]

Hey guys,

I just got offered a job in Hobart and I'm moving down there from NSW in early July. This is the first time I have moved interstate and I'm pretty damn excited about the whole thing. I want to bring my car down at some stage but I don't know anything about doing this. Will I have to change the rego to tasmanian registration? I know I have to change my lisence over after 3 months.

Trying to work out if it would be easier just to sell there car here with NSW rego and buy something else down there.

Thanks

I bought my car from Melb and took it back here(Launnie) and had to get a roadworthy done then take that to service tas to get it regoed

pretty simple, i think if your car is ok up there it shouldnt be too bad here, although my car was pretty much stock.

i think you can also get your remaining rego back from NSW when you hand over plates and show proof of new rego,(receipt), thats what i did with the remaining 10 months on the melb rego

yeah it's not hard to do at all.

Bring your car over on the boat, you get 3 months to change the rego over I'm pretty sure.

rego is much cheaper over here

i drove around on nsw rego for 6 months, even got booked for speeding and the cop said nothing, but when i went to finally change it over service tas told me i was supposed to do that within 2 weeks of bringing it back

Thanks for the info guys. Cheaper rego sounds good to me. I think I might fly over first then bring my car later, baskerville raceway looks like a good track. Can't wait to have a run on it.

I'll organise a track day once you get your car over here

[trustr32]

And I'll come to it........... if my car is going by then Bring it over man the more the merrier............. is that how you spell merrier or is it merryier.......... god knows anyway it's easy to get it roadworthied and swapped over. Most of the imports down here are from the mainland anyway

Cheers for the info guys, pretty keen for a track day when I get settled in. Went down to Hobart 2 weeks ago and found a place to rent, really nice city and the food was great.

We drove to the top of mount wellington, holy shit it was freezing up there. Probably going to wait till summer to go back there again.

Going to take my car down this week and go over on the boat and bring all my crap with me and then I'm starting work on monday. Hopefully i'll see you guys at some trackdays in the future.

Glad to hear Hobart is treating you well!

Next outing I reckon will be on August 5th.

A little off topic but is this day drift and grip sessions like the last one?

[byebye]

Thats what i've been told but could be wrong mate!

[zoidbergmerc]

Yep, it's both.

[Bushy]

Sick! Don't know if car will be ready so we'll see how we go.
