Congratulations, John, on getting the club going. I use Meetup.com to help organize the Portland Area Prius Meetup Group and wonder if you've considered it. I'm not advocating, just wondering. Orf, why don't you start a Tasmanian Prius club? Prius clubs north and south!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Bill Merchant @ Oct 8 2006, 01:08 AM) [snapback]329701[/snapback]</div> Trouble is Bill there are only two other Prius in my area. One is owned by a politian who usually works 300km down the track and the other by an old lady who would not be interested. The rest, and that is not many, would be 100km away.
There may be others. I know it's a small island, but there may be. How do you know the "old lady" isn't interested? We have interesting, complex cars, and owners tend to be interesting, complex people. With the great fuel efficiency, a drive of 100KM isn't that big a deal every now and then.One member of the Portland club drives about 300KM to our meetings, every now and then, not every month, but it's good when we can get together and talk about our fun, fabulous cars.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Bill Merchant @ Oct 8 2006, 04:08 PM) [snapback]329701[/snapback]</div> Thank you Bill, and Orf, for your good wishes. We have our inaugural meeting tonight (Monday 9th), and I plan to post a photo or two of the event soon after. Regarding the suggestion for Orf to start up a Club in Tassie....our numbers of Prius here are really quite small relative to population, and (at least up here) a good percentage of those cars are taken up by Government and semi-Government fleets. These obviously further reduce the potential owner base who could be Prius Club members. If any Prius owners (from anywhere) are in Brisbane at any time, please get in touch....you will be very welcome at our Club! John.

Congratulations on forming the new club, John. I'll be in Brisbane on the last week of November, but it's just a flying visit this time round for some training. Still intending to get some plastic film on the front when I get the existing paint chips touched up, but not sure on the timing of that.
