Hi
Hoping someone may be able to give some advice.....
Its my partners birthday very shortly and he is really keen on 4 wheel driving. We have had since xmas a 2007 Mitsubishi triton GLX-R which he happily dashes up any non-asphalt road he can find much to my concern sometimes!! :) We have spent sometime on the
Bridle track & surrounds + blue mountains tracks.
I would love him to know more so I don't get worried! We don't know anyone else with a 4wd....so thought about getting him a training course for his b-day and then relised that joining a club would be better! He would get training plus we can explore with others.....
So after some advice on clubs that maybe suitable - we are a early 30's couple, love camping and the outdoors, and he is more than keen to see how far he can push the car (its a ute, cause we need one for other sports).
Any suggestions / experiences appreciated! I think he would love a
membership as a present - he dosn't get time to sort it himself :)
Have looked at the website of
Sydney District 4x4 and All Wheel Drive Club - anyone know these?
Cheers
M

M,
I'll give Triple Diamond a plug.
Originated as the Mitsubishi Club and has a few Tritons in the club.
Family orientated and active with all types of trips based in
Sydney.
Website here:
Triple Diamond Website
Better state my interest as the treasurer of this club. ;)
Have a look and see if it suites you.

M,
Both the Club suggested are great clubs, there are 43 Association Clubs in the Greater
Sydney Area and you can have a look for them on the
4WD NSW & ACT web site where you can
check by district, north, south East and West.
I would suggest that you
check out the web sites, visit a few and decide from there.
Any club chosen will provided Driver Awareness and will assist in more than training, camping etc.
The Association is a RTO and has an accredited training program which can be utilised by Club members.
You won't regret joining a Club.

Hi
If you can track down a Mitsubishi club thats half as good as the one in
Brisbane, that would be a good starting point. Great people with close support from Mitsubishi.
Cheers and have a great time.
