Report #83
National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada Report #83
NAACC Declares July as Automotive Heritage Month in Canada. The Province of British Columbia declared the month of July as NAACC Automotive Heritage Month in 2011.
Unfair GST / PST in BC
The BC Government is going to increase the sales tax on the private sale of used vehicles. The government is being deceptive in their approach. Before the HST came in there was 7% PST charged on the private sale of a used vehicle or a collector car.
I urge you to contact your BC MLA and the Premier to voice your strong opposition to this ‘new tax’. Go to www.leg.bc.ca please click on ‘Members’ and make your views known now!

This article was originally published on June 2, 2008.
OTTAWA, June 2, 2008: Lobbyists with high-level
connections to the Harper Conservatives – and the
former Liberal government as well – played key roles
in the passage, last week, of an amendment to the

A huge loss for the collector car hobby:
Pat Anderson was a true friend. We literally spoke nearly every week about the collector car hobby in Canada and the National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada insurance program. Pat was responsible for establishing the current National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada liability insurance that we all enjoy.
His wisdom and guidance will be truly missed.
John Carlson
Patrick (Pat) Garnet Anderson
 September 17, 1945 - December 19, 2011 Patrick (Pat) Garnet Anderson - coach, mentor, and successful business man, passed away suddenly on December 19, 2011 at the age of 66. Pat was born in England in 1945 and moved with his family to Canada shortly thereafter. In 1958, he moved to British Columbia from Ontario where he grew up in Vancouver as a graduate of Tupper Secondary. Here he developed a competitive spirit for rugby and for business which he used to establish a successful insurance career for over 42 years. He was a passionate rugby player and coach of the Kats Rugby Club and Fraser Valley Venom, a team he proudly coached to two national rugby championships. He brought his love of coaching and mentorship to his staff at Pat Anderson Agencies Ltd in Burnaby, making it a leader in the insurance community and an organization based on values he held dear: trust, honesty, and hard work. Pat is survived by his loving wife Sharon, his son Richard, daughter Hilleri (J.P) and his grandchildren, Harley and Bronwyn. He will also be missed by his longtime business partner and friend, Paul Towriss, and the many employees, associates and friends that he called family. A celebration of his life will be held at the Burnaby's Hilton Hotel in Metrotown on January 5, 2012 at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, kindly make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC in his memory.

April 18 2011 URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT (UPDATE)
Washington Governor Signs Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill Into Law
SEMA model legislation to create a vehicle titling and registration classification for street rods and custom vehicles was signed into law by Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire. The bill (S.B. 5585) defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 30 years old and manufactured after 1948. Kit cars and replica vehicles will be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble.
Thank you and congratulations to all who participated in supporting this bill! |

Gord Forman has once again gone above and beyond to provide a new Forum for all those interested in our Automobile Hobby. Check it out here... NAACC Forum>>
Dec 01, 2011
The NAACC has installed this as another service to our member clubs. It's purpose is to provide a common place to go for all hobbyists and Directors to see what the "news, views and chews" are in each province.
It is organized by province and one heading for general, or national, "news, views or chews".
Spurred into life when Manitoba had such a bad summer of rumours that seemed to be fueled by misinformation found on websites that were not in the least knowledgeable. As most provinces are like MB and the clubs wouldn't even be successful if there was more than one website trying to do this, NAACC has taken it on because we can cover all of Canada.
Go to http://naacc.ca/naacforum/forum.php and look around after you've signed up. This is for you.
Regards,
Gord Forman
Vice President

URGENT REGULATORY ALERT (UPDATE)
EPA Denies E15 Waiver for Pre-2001 Cars, Permits Use in Newer Cars
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirmed that there is insufficient test data to permit E15 to be used in MY 2000 and older light-duty motor vehicles. The SEMA Action Network (SAN) has consistently voiced concern that ethanol increases water formation which can then create formic acid and corrode metals, plastics and rubber. While the SAN is pleased with the decision that older cars should not be fueled with E15, the association is disappointed that the EPA issued an E15 waiver for 2007 and newer vehicles.

Brought to you by Gord Forman the NAACC Director of Manitoba
This could be a serious concern for all Provinces as it prevents a ‘collector car’ that has been in an accident and is written off from being put back on the road after that accident. This pertains to ‘ALL’ pre 1995 vehicles.
Gordon Forman, Manitoba NAACC Director, is challenging this legislation and is asking for an exemption for collector vehicles.

URGENT REGULATORY ALERT
EPA Threatens to Raise Ethanol Content in Gasoline
Under pressure from ethanol producers to raise the ethanol content in gasoline, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could issue a decision later this month allowing the use of E15 in late-model cars. It could permit the use in other cars at a later date. The SEMA Action Network (SAN) opposes the shift from E10 to E15 due to concerns that the additional content will harm automobiles of all ages, including special interest collector and historic vehicles. To date, there is a lack of conclusive information regarding E15’s effect on engines of different model years. In addition to the potential harm of E15 on engine components, the EPA has no procedure in place to ensure misfueling does not occur or any plan for ensuring regular gasoline continues to be available for older vehicles. The SAN’s concerns are shared by a number of other industry organizations.
We Urge You to Ask President Obama (Contact Information Below) to Stop the EPA from Raising the Ethanol Content in Gasoline
