    I'm also in Canberra :)

    I've seen two silver FTO's, another black FTO and a red one decked out in Vielside, although the panels on it don't seem to line up all too well :L

    Thinking we should do something so there's more of an FTOAUS presence in Canberra. Should we make up flyers or something?

    An A.C.T meet here and there wouldn't be too bad an idea I reckon, but it'd be nice to have more then 2-3 cars.

    I was thinking that same thing with the flyers..
    There are actually a lot of ftos I've seen driving around!

    There's the white gpvr near my house, and a couple others that I know where they live. Dropping a flyer off might be the way to go

    You mean this white GPvR?

    I commonly see it at one of my mates places on Carstairs Circut in Amaroo that I visit all the time.

    I also commonly see a Symphonic Silver GX in Belconnen, A Steel Silver GPX in Belconnen, a Passion Red GPX in Belconnen (A mate also sees it in Civic commonly) with a Veilside kit and a Moonlight Blue FTO in Belconnen, although I'm unsure as to what type it is.

    And here's the GX that I see.

    And my mate in Gungahlin said she also seen another black FTO near the town centre.

    I also have a photo of the Red Veilside. I swear if any of them join up here they'll think I'm a stalker.

      Awesome, but I reckon first we should build up a more solid number of Canberra based FTO's so when/if we can get a meet happening we can get a significant amount of local cars to be there.

      I think I read in an old thread that there were flyers before that the club was using to put on other's cars to raise awareness of the club? Does anyone know by any chance whether a version of these exists electronically to print out, or whether we should design and hand out new ones.

      I know Bennoz was distributing bundles at one stage.It would be good to get an electronic version that could simply be printed by individual members as required though. This may actually already exist. Just not sure off the top of my head.

        Haven't got any flyers left, but I still have the artwork if you want to get some printed. Could probably use a update mind you... :scratch:

        I actually quite like them and think they're still fairly modern. Last time did you get them done on proper shiny paper and stuff or just use normal stuff?

        Yeah had them done on shiny, almost cardboard thickness style paper. Our Ex Vic co-ordinator worked in a print shop.
