Xmas 2008

On behalf of the club & FTO community, I'd like to wish everyone a happy Christmas :-) Im not going to ramble on like I've done in previous years, just like to thank everyone for their contributions to the club this year & have a happy & safe holiday. Thought I'd also show you the site stats for the year. Each year the site gets busier & busier with this year being no exception. In fact, we've gone from 2 million site visits in 2007, to 2.7 million this year. A huge jump!

Site Outage

All,

We will have some downtime this weekend. I am expecting the site to be down for between 24 - 48 hours as our host relocates their data centre. I'll be backing the site up manually before hand, just in case. So the site may also be a little slow on Friday afternoon as well.

Full details here:

Cheers,

Xmas 2007

Well, another year has almost passed, another Christmas at our door steps.

Its been a huge year for the club, with appearances at 4 Autosalons yeilding 1 trophy & plenty of new members, new committee members, an appearance in Hot 4's magazine and the website itself being relocated onto a new server & upgraded. Not to mention, the regular club activities / cruises / bbqs / dinners that have been going on.

Once again, there are a number of club Xmas activities going on from BBQ's to mulitstate cruises. For state activities please check the relevant state boards. For the big multistate cruise, check the general section.

Take care over the new year, recharge your batteries, avoid the police & we'll see you all in the new year.

Cheers,
Ben

FTO Australia win at Brisbane Autosalon

Congratulations to FTO Australia for winning the "Best Club Attitude" award at the Brisbane Autosalon.

Starting out in Melbourne on the 31st of April, a determined Victoria crew did what the club had not previously been able to do - put together a display for the club in the Melbourne Autosalon.

A month later, the Sydney contingent of the club, continued the task with a refined appearance in the Sydney show.

Finally, just a few days ago, the Brisbane arm of FTO Aus, put together our final display for the year... It paid off, we finally picked up a trophy.

My brain is already in over drive thinking of how we can improve for next years shows, including a few phone calls to display scaffolding suppliers & the possiblity of utilising a 46" LCD screen. So put your thinking caps on, we have 7 months to go!
