The event, which took place on Tuesday night, was organised by the commission to gain feedback from the public, and to improve confidence in its role and work.
Vintage car lovers from all over Northern Ireland flocked to the Cohannon Inn and packed the meeting, demanding that the new parade's legislation be 'scrapped and thrown in the Lagan'.
Under new legislation, vintage car rally organisers must apply to the commission for permission to parade, and notify police of their route within a certain time-scale.
Before the commission members could complete their presentations the discussion started with an unexpected bang, when the audience were told they could not use tape-recorders.
"Why not? We're not the Masonic", an angry voice from the crowd countered.
A fiery debate was then flagged off by James Clarke of the Classic Rovers Club, who said that even police officers viewed the parade's legislation as 'a complete farce'.
Accusing the commission of potentially depriving future generations of the pleasure of viewing vintage cars, Mr Clarke described how this year some vintage rallies were cancelled as the organisers were unaware they had to comply with the legislation.
Mr Clarke went on to describe the commission as 'a public waste of money'.
The car fanatic claimed the commission's approach to vintage car rallies was 'preventing the very normalisation of society it hoped to create'.
"This is an idiotic law", he added.
"We should not over-administrate normal life. There's far too much legislation as there is.
"We are a non-sectarian organisation, and we support a large number of charities. But I know of a number of members who do not have the inclination to fill out forms and are considering selling their cars", he told the commission.
Next it was the turn of the Drumcree Vintage Car Association to fire up its engines.
John Wilson of the organisation said that they were a family affair, from both sides of the community, and did not cause any disruption to society.
A presentation from members of the Macmillan Nurses Committee described how the organisation had received charitable donations from the Drumcree association.
Members of other associations such as the Ballyclare Triumph Club also lent their weight to the argument.

Sympathy
The new Chairman of the Commission, Roger Poole, said that it would be 'a slur on us' to prevent vintage car rallies, and told the audience, "you are knocking on an open door".
"There seems to be no sense in asking people to fill out forms for non-contentious parades. However, the law states we have to.
"But we will have a genuine discussion with you to see if we can assist you in your activities."
The commission members told the rally enthusiasts that they had a lot of sympathy for their predicament.
It was agreed that a further meeting be organised to resolve the issue.
