We need your help!
Bit of sad news team.
Last night due to issues with the incompetent old FTO NZ site owner, we lost the domain www.fto.co.nz to a company in the North Island of NZ... In retaliation to loosing the domain, we tracked down and contacted the new owners and pleaded with them to allow us to buy the domain back from them. This morning I received a reply back with their offer.
They are asking for $288 NZD...
So, in order to get the domain, and ultimately the club back, we need your help! Please, please consider making a donation to the club so we can live once again! Comment here or contact me on +6421416586 or braydon (a) technikhaus.co.nz to discuss donation options!
Thanks guys, with your help FTO NZ will be back on track in no time!

Subject: Re: Acquisition of fto.co.nz domain.
Good morning and thank you for your offer to purchase the domain name FTO.co.nz (which expired three months ago).
I don't have any need for assistance in acquiring a replacement domain, however as a gesture of good faith I am prepared to offer you the domain FTO.co.nz for $250 + GST = $287.50.
An invoice is attached should you wish to take up this offer.
All the best,
Talia

To whom it may concern,
This letter is in reference to your recent acquisition of the domain name, ‘www.fto.co.nz’.
Since 2009, the aforementioned domain name had been used in relation to a national vehicle enthusiast club that was first formed by the many Mitsubishi FTO owners in New Zealand.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances that were far beyond our control, the domain expired and as a result of outstanding technical issues, was unable to be renewed. As a direct consequence of this, all of our current media has been rendered useless.
It is with this, we wish to arrange the transfer of the said domain’s ownership back to us, the original owners of FTO New Zealand. We would like to offer reimbursement for the cost of registration of the domain ‘www.fto.co.nz’, and as an offer of gratitude; help source for you a new domain of similar calibre.
The club wishes to express sincere thanks for your cooperation in keeping this non-profit, volunteer managed club alive.
Warm regards,
Nicholas,
President
FTO New Zealand.

Re: We need your help!
I have just donated $5 NZ.
I know it's not much, but I had to accumulate what little bank money I had from three accounts into one to make the donation.
Won't be poor for too much longer, I'll be a tradesman soon.
Anyway, hope it helps.

Unfortunately we could not register this domain name as it is already registered. Your payment has been refunded back to your credit card.
