Sandman Car Club Thread

[SLR_dave]

I cant help posting this, something is erking me, I like this site and forum, I wonder if an associated club could mess with it.... What about though a Kingswood club... generic, all models accepted? If it's real purpose is just for rego, well everything that approximates H to W shape could be accepted? State govts could be approached on a psychologically easier level of confidence (what ever went wrong with the Kingswood - eg and arguably more understandable to govt).

I dunno, Im prepared to be run around (but not out of) town, but just sayin, what are we messin with here? Who's got time to be genuinely dedicated to two (or more) clubs at once? I think this is an excellent website and forum, and politely, I think it would be a shame if its input became diluted because members joined a second national sandman group. Surely, this group is pretty premiere? (or Premier - pardon the obvious pun lol).
Anyways just sayin.

Some valid thoughts there mate, and that's exactly what's needed when discussing these things. Both sides of the table. Cheers

I was thinking the same as SLR Dave.

I am not into car clubs myself but they do have their place. Just not for me. I just prefer to spend that little extra and have full rego so I can come and go as I please and not answer to anyone about when and where I drive my cars.

Other thoughts:

Owners of a Sandman vehicle in the club. What happens when that person, being a financial member loses their Sandman? Do they get the flick because they no longer have a Sandman in their possession by virtue of: vehicle stolen, confiscated (heaven forbid), destroyed in a collision, sold due to personal circumstances.

Could be embarrassing if the Secretary, President or Vice President does not have an item which actually allows them to be a part of the club, or any member for that matter.

Nice one Dave.

All this chatting is basically throwing hypotheticals out there and gauging interest. And its been some of the best discussion i think the forum has seen. Everyone is being polite, helpful and genuine in their opinions. Everyone that has put 2 cents in, has made quality points. So cheers to everyone

Maybe if everyone just put in point form what they would actually like the 'club' to be and what benefits they want to get out of it, could be a way of saving time...whether or not this will go ahead. Dunno, cant hurt to try i guess.

I assumed (could be wrong) that the general consensus was have the club available to everyone and anyone interested. It covers people who have a sandman and other vehicles.

I think it moved over from being solely Sandman owners in the beginning of the thread to discussions on allowing others in on it.
Just my observation, if it does turn into a Sandman owners only club.
