Neil,
Definately come along to the cruise... bring as many other mates as you like too... (that blown Bimmer sounds intruiging)
and yeah, we're charging $140 for club membership....
if we didnt have to worry about CAMS affiliation (yes, the Fast Fours Forums Car Club IS a CAMS member), public liability insurance (which is what really puts the membership fees through the roof), and also merchandising etc, then im sure we could offer free memberships... but, we've gone about registering the club through all the official channels, to ensure that members will be secure and represented in the proper manner... im sure you can imagine, its not cheap.
we also have the backing obviously of Fast Fours Magazine, as well as already having set up discount scemes from over 50 businesses throughout Sydney & NSW...
we've only been up & running for a bit over a month & we currently have over 40 members, who realised the benefits that the club could bring to them, especially in terms of the money saved in discounts on products & services... our President has already saved nearly $4000 on work done to his 180SX. (which makes $140 in membership fees seem kinda small huh? )
several other members have already made back their membership fees plus more in the discounts theyve recieved... some of the workshops include C & V Performance, Tuffy mufflers & Powerplay Imports.
theres also several members who drive rotors also... and already a few Skylines too... :burnout:
seriously though... if you really have trouble coming up with $140 for membership, we've also just introduced a "Lay-By" plan, where you can pay a minimum of $10, then have 6 weeks to make up the rest... just to make it easier for those (like me) who find it hard to save any money at all... :shake:
but by all means, i urge you, come to the cruise with us on the 7th of July, meet me & a few of the guys (& girls) and have a fun day... we're not gonna expect everyone who comes on the cruise with us to join the club.
Like i said originally, its gonna be big, so dont miss out.
