Heaps of FTOs in Kingston, gotta contact them
Hello fellow Tassie FTOwners, I've just joined up to FTO Club of Aust and I live in Kingston in southern Tas.
Hey, Kingston must be the hot spot for FTOwners in southern Tassie because I was driving from Kingston to Margate yesterday, say, 10 or 15 Ks i guess, and I saw two other FTOs, a red one and a black one (mine's a silver GPX).
That's 3 FTOs on the road within a few clicks of each other, plus there's the blue one that's often parked up near the Woolies servo at Kingston Town and I know there is at least another silver GPX in the Kingston area, so that makes 5 FTOs in the one neighbourhood.
Oh, and there was a white Version R sold by Performance Autos in Hobart a few years ago.
I've had my GPX for about seven years and only just recently discovered this website/club, so I guess I'm not the only FTOwner in Tas who was not a member. What can we do to let them know about us (and hook up for a group cruise)? Did I see something in this forum about stickers? Maybe I should get some and stick 'em under the wipers any time I see a parked FTO. Just a thought.
Cheers, Brandto

Tassie FTOwners meeting up, maybe
Cool, Yeah, lets see if we can build some interest, guess it boils down to approaching other FTOwners to guage interest. I'd really love a meet and drive for as many as possible starting at, say Oatlands or Ross and do a loop of interst around some backroads or something. Just a thought.
Maybe plan a few weeks before and lock-in a date/time. Weekends best?
If anyone else is interested, please add yourself to the list,
Cheers

Maybe you need to get a hold of bennoz and get some flyers to put on thier windows

hey there mate.
im from hobart and i drive the white fto with the CF version r wing and facelift front. not sure if ive seen u around but i know that sandy bay is definitely a strong fto area and more than 4 nearby... theres actually about 10 fto's down here maybe more but yeah no one on these forums.
id definitely be keen for a cruise though. i know the owner of that blue one near woolies with the veilside kit.

Cool. Now we're getting some traction! There's a newbie signed on in Launceston in past couple of days and he also wants to get cruising.
I think your white FTO gets a mention in the Spotted forum, posted by a Vic tourist who may have seen you driving up Sandy Bay Rd in Jan or Feb.
Anyway, I hope to get a story into the Mercury and Kingston Chronicle about the search for Tassie FTO Hot Spot. I'm hoping a couple of the blokes up north can get in on the act and we'll get the Examiner and/or Advocate to cover it too. If there's enough of us, maybe some cruises can really get happening.
Hey, just to have a heap of FTOs go parking in public somewhere would be a buzz. please keep in touch.
Cheers, Brandt

hey,
I am really keen to catch up with fto owners, as well as my flatmate ryno, who just recently purchased a white GPVR.
When ever we can organise something that would be great even if its a small catch up and we meet at cambelltown for a coffee as its kinda close to each major town.
catch ya,
scotty

Cool, I work at the Mercury in Hobart and hope to soon have the paper do a story on the search for Tassie's FTO Hot Spot.
Would you mind the Examiner getting in touch with you from a Launceston angle?
There is a bloke in Sandy Bay who is nominating that as the FTO Hot Spot. I nominate Kingborough (Kingston region) and then of course . . . there's Launceston.
I think this idea has legs. Will keep you posted.
