  Welcome! - A message from Greg Redfern our President

 

We hope your visit to our website is either as a member of a 4WD Club or because you are contemplating joining a Club.The events of recent days have demonstrated just one of the advantages of being part of a 4WD club. Club members are informed of what is going on around them, they have a voice through their Club and through this Association. The work of this Association has been a key component in bringing the RTA to the table to consult fully on VSI 50 "lifting vehicles" regulations. The proposed regulations are now on hold until that consultation process is completed.As a member of a 4WD club you will know what is happening. Plus you will enjoy all the benefits of Club life; driver training, trips away, social events, community events, cammeraderie and fun with like minded people and families. Existing members, talk to your friends. There has never been a better time to join. Look at the map for a Club near you.

Chris Tierney in conjunction with other members of the 4WDNSW&ACT VSI 50 Working Party has designed a survey which we are looking to distribute widely to ensure we have the best available data for VSI 50 discussions so we ensure your interests are well represented.

Press Release

 

 

MINISTER DALEY’S PRESS RELEASE 16TH July 2009 SAYS “ALL VEHICLE MODIFIERS ARE HOONS”

 

The Australian National Four Wheel Drive Council, the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association and Four Wheel Drive NSW & ACT have expressed concern today about Minister Daley’s press release “Tough New Rules for Car Hoons”. The release has drawn massive criticism from car owners across Australia. Labelling thousands of owners who modify their vehicle as hoons is unacceptable when the proper purpose of modifications is to improve durability, performance, handling and safety. It shows a complete ignorance of the need to adapt vehicles to meet specific conditions and an intolerance of individuality.
