Just in from the Capitol: Sen. Holperin will convene a Public Hearing on TRANS-123, but the date has not yet been set. I will post it when I get it. I'm advised that we need a TON of people to show up. This may not seem like a milveh issue, and it isn't one directly. But it is a "Collector"...

Well, Gimp, I'm truly not trying to give anyone a hard time. It's just discouraging when a guy posts something only to have it get tossed off, and especially w/o an explanation given. It's a disincentive to offer one's input. In the notice, I was advised to contact a "moderator", but Doghead...

Well, I wasn't trying to give Doghead a hard time. Just asking the question, and responding to his answers. FWIW, Gimpy should know the rules better than most, he's got over 9100 posts listed. I was of the opinion, like Aaron was, that I was doing others here a favor. That listing seemed...

Y'all ain't from Wisconsin now, are ya? 2cents

Doghead, Thanks for the clarification. No wonder I didn't find any reference to this in the rules! I kinda took offense to the thread being removed without explanation, but that's apparently how it's done here. Unfortunately, it smacks of the same sort of treatment we milveh owners got from...

I recently posted about an old Dodge p/u I found on ebay, but it got deleted. A pm notice said I should direct questions to a moderator. I'm not even sure how to find one. I posted about the truck, because it was listed on ebay rather obscurely. I thought guys who liked those trucks might...

Reading this thread, I finally realize what motivated our Wisconsin DMV to want to outlaw ex-military vehicles. If they can manage to keep milvehs off Wisconsin roads, then the drunks won't have things to crash into. Drunk driving problem solved, and all thanks go to the WisDOT. I also...

VTwin, I wrote to him (Richard) a couple days ago, but got no reply. I just wrote again, and forwarded the link to this thread. Perhaps if you know these guys, and have the time, you might make a phone call. I don't know what more to do. Thanks for the input. Paul

This is just in from SEMA regarding things: Urgent Regulatory Alert - Wisconsin It's a printable copy. Pass it on.

Around here (WISCONSIN), we're used to some pretty moronic comments/questions from DMV. During my Appeal Hearing, Tom Landmann, one of the local Pinzgauer owners was being questioned by Paul Nilsen, the DOT's lackey, er, excuse me, attorney. Tom testified that when he was applying for his...

Oh, I almost missed this one. If you want some insight into things here, check this out regarding "border states". Forgive me if this is a repeat. This SHOULD have already made the rounds. This is Wisconsin, ENJOY... WBIR.com | Knoxville, TN | Wisconsin politician argues that Arizona is not...

Thanks for passing this on. Remember, it won't effect cars originally sold in the U.S. But it will effect Ford cars which were originally sold in foreign countries. Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but IIRC, the Ford Cortina was one of these. This is not a military vehicle issue. It...

I spoke with Sen. Erpenbach and Assy. Rep. Pope-Roberts offices yesterday. They reconfirmed the August 31 deadline for convincing the Transportation Committees of the need for a Public Hearing on this. Vtwin, Interesting article. There have been several similar cases over the past few years...

Tanner, Correct, race cars are not generally titled. Although I've seen a few domestic civilian cars which were raced, and then returned to the road. You're right that race cars are brought in to the US as off-highway vehicles, not as Motor Vehicles. Federal law requires that any "motor...

Catman, I can't say "thanks" enough. It's a great step to get the support of your crowd. United we stand! Jim, Interestingly, during the past 3 yr fight, I met Curt Rymkus, one of the guys who worked to craft Trans-305. You're right, they worked **** hard to get those regulations...

Boomer, Wisconsin. No, but they may care. Many of the antique imports are sports cars, and they race them. Salt6, I think it's fair to say that DOT is chapped at having lost one. McKee, Nope, not yet, but thanks for the reminder. Clinto, Ditto. Frankly, this one has moved so fast, and so...

Mike, Thanks. Absolutely no offense taken here. My skin's gotten too thick to get my a$$ chapped so easily. Usually it's me being the sarcastic one! You know, often I've thought that many of our laws (and rules, medical terms, legal jargon, etc.) are written so as to intentionally make...

So, Wisconsin, are you willing to try and put a stop to this Trans-123 nonsense? Time is of the essence. The DOT has already introduced this to the legislative committees. If the committees do not act by August 31, this rule will be enacted. To stop this, we must convince members of the...

Cyberspace, Well, yeah. You do look like you understand them. But alright, here's the plain English: Attention ALL Trans-123 is designed to outlaw antique imported civilian vehicles. This is an offshoot of WisDOT's efforts '07-'10 which resulted in the two new Wis. laws governing milvehs...

Public Hearing Sept. 22, 2010 - WisDOT TRANS-123 URGENT NEWS I'm not sure what to make of it yet, as far as who this is a threat to, but WisDOT is starting to work on TRANS-123 again. Here's a link to the email we received from WisDOT today, and a link to the complete proposed Administrative...
