Thread: 4 wheel drive clubs

Ask Chenz if he'd like to form a club with you, Lyonsy.

This is an interesting thread. I live in Melbourne and semi retired with young family and have a little more free time these days.

I basically joined a 4WD club because I was looking to meet similar minded people that were looking at doing similar type 4WDing and trips as I was. To be honest I was not really looking for a social club ( already have friends ) that just organised dinners and wine tours etc and I was not interested in doing 4WD trips that were classed as difficult i.e. tracks where you are more than likely to damage panels and break driveline items every trip.

Unfortunately to date I have not been able to find this in the club. This is not to say they are not a fantastic group of guys and gals, but just not meeting what I was personally looking for.

As for information about Land Rovers, accessories and technical items, this site is with out doubt the best source.

Funnily enough Garfield, the same here re the difficult tracks etc, but the club actually found me! Made some really good friends through the club and there are a lot of absolutely amazing people in it, many who don't frequent online communities. I learnt to really drive these things on the LROC tough trips with Tusker on here via the club, and not that long ago I spent the day with Lotz-a-landies who is one seriously incredible woman, what she doesn't know about Landies... jokes, she knows! Each to their own, but I do like the clubs.

When your ready to go for an explore,, sing out and we'll organise something.
For us, we're happy to just poke around, sight see, look for views etc, grab a coffee,, not interested in any damage, but willing to have a crack if needs be.

Sounds good CHOPS. I will give you a yell when we head out ! I'm interested in exploring some more of the VIC high country.
