I have three bikes and two diesel truck/vans. Thats all up 5x600 a year in rego. So I put my regos on hold last year. So first year I saved $3000. Use an old car to if I have to park in town so tickets arent an issue. Now Im thinking if I dont pay any rego for 10 years. wow, thats a 30k saving. I could buy a brand new car with that. What do you think guys. Clever. So Im thinking if I go out and buy a couple more bikes and deregister them I can save another 1200 dollars a year. Wow, thats like $4200 a year in savings. Im on a roll here.I can see my buying a brand new hilux all for free in 10 year time. What you guys think!

Now that's more like it! Good to see my rants are having some affect. I am feeling encouraged to ramp them up a peg or two now.

Hey if you take the bus you will save more but if you run behind the bus you will save the price of the bus ticket.lets see.$6.00 per day so sell the cars and bikes and run home behind a taxi and you will save heaps more dollars then running behind the bus. CHOICE.

I tried to take the bus the other day, costs more than filling up my car and driving myself after you transfer a few times. Waste of time

1 Trail bike, 1 MotoX Bike. 1 Road Bike and 1 for the Mrs.shit that's four and the kids bike aren't even counted. Oh the four wheeler and the pit bike. A truck for off road. 1 Truck for on road. 1 truck for the Mrs to drop the kids off at school and a 1 classic truck just because.now cars. You need every one of these vehicles friendly_prawn. Get more could save heaps more dough. Then like I said run home behind the taxi and jeez you will be worth a fortune in no time at all.

Only flaw I can see in the plan is if the cost of rego and gas should go down, your savings are going to take a hit.

Please explain to me friendly_prawn how not paying fines (on your old car parked in town so tickets aren't an issue) is clever.

Doh, the car in towns a petrol and registered car. cheap to register unlike a diesel so not much of a saving there. Just off to pick up another diesel this morning so I can make some more savings.

What you should be doing is buying VWs with DSG transmissions and not getting the gearboxes fixed or serviced, your savings will be astronomical.
