That's a bit simplistic mate. I own 19 cars ranging from 1927 to 1978, they are my life's work and passion, I pour every spare minute and dollar into them. I'm not rich by any means, I work like a dog to support my hobby and can only afford it because I do all the work myself. If I had to pay full rego I'd be looking at over 12 grand. Add to that the fact that insurance goes up exponentially when a car goes from club plates to full rego, I'd be looking at another 6 or 7 grand a year. So, I'd be down nearly 20 grand a year if the club scheme was scrapped. At this point I simply couldn't afford to have them on the road and my hobby goes out the window.

I know a lot of guys who have multiple cars, doesn't make them rich either, usually just the opposite.

I probably only drive each car maybe 8-10 times a year but I have a smile from ear to ear every time I do.
