hi guys,

just bought a BF1 XR8 (my first V8) about two weeks ago and i have found myself driving for half an hour to get to the shops that are 2 minutes away, which brings me here, i live on near the entrance (central coast) and am interested in joining a car club that is not only full of people that have a common love for their ford but ones that know where is a good "fun driving" day trip for the whole family.

I'm not a "hoon" or a "bogan", just a guys who works 50 hour weeks and drives a Kia Mentor to and from work (and has just gotten out of a Taurus),
so i'm just after a bit of enjoyment out of my driving.

am i at the right place or is there a club closer? any info on joining and registration would be appreciated.

Hi trendkill555666,

As Dave said, you're on the right track! We have many Central Coast members and try to plan day trips that all members can get to.

If you go to our Shannons Club website, http://carclubs.shannons.com.au/fpv-xr-owners
there is more info and an online application. Please feel free to come to a meeting or join us on a trip - just add your name to the list on here when it appears. The next cruise is the Vacy Cruise & Lunch on 19th April. The next meeting is on May 6th
