O.K. .. all you X-spurts out there, with memories like elephants, and at least 55 yrs trucking experience .. ;D .. what is the make of this old side-loading float??
I should know .. but CRS is setting in, and I can't read that nameplate, either .. :D

Can you still put this sort of thing on full rego, I presume it has no spring brakes ?

Gday Swishy,
I am thinking if it still had plates on it you are just renewing the rego but as a "new" trailer you would have no hope.
Dunno, really.

Gents, from what I have learned recently, it would seem that as long as someone will give it a roadworthy, the MAN will register anything.

The only scary part is the 19 year old female who doesnt even hold a drivers licence, sitting at the computer making the big decisions for the MAN..

Find a smaller local office and you will be fine.
