Hi Solmanic,What was the logic in registering www.ineos4x4club.com.au as the domain for the Ineos 4x4 Club of Victoria? Wouldn't it have made more sense to leave that domain for a national club and take a domain name with some reference to Victoria?
Also, why register a .com.au domain for what is more appropriately a .org.au ?
If there are going to be separate state based Ineos clubs, then it would make sense to instigate some rationale in the domains like www.ineos4x4clubvic.org.au or even ineosclubvic.org.au. Then all other states could fall into line using a similar naming format.
Hi Denis,@Solmanic....I see your point... sort of
However I have no vested interest, but speculating that as Victoria is the first cab off the rank, getting a "national" domain name safely quarantined was a good strategic move for all Aus. Grenadier owners: It means that as and when other state-based clubs get established there's an established national domain which might be shared thereby amortising costs and retaining a national focus... and because we travel long distances to play in each other's backyards, specific State-based ... issues could be accommodated by a simple add-on e g. www.ineos4x4club.com.au/(name State) or www.(name state).ineos4x4club.com.au etc
Food for thought?
OK.Mark,
Same here. I am hoping someone with more time on their hands might step up to this challenge.
I'd certainly $ support a national club with State chapters. One never knows when one might be travelling and it would be really helpful to obtain local knowledge and/or tag along to a special event.OK.
I thought I read somwhere on the Forum that there were moves afoot to create a NSW and/or QLD club - and wantd to chat with those doing the organising.
INEOS has probably sold 250 Grenadiers in NSW to date and would expect to sell another 700 in 2024 - so one would have thought an owners club would make sense with 1,000 of them roaming around NSW by this time next year
Thanks @grenadierboy, that's awesome! I've applied to join via FB. Cheers, DreToday, the INEOS 4x4 Club of Victoria Inc. was established at the Australian head offices of INEOS Automotive in Melbourne, by a group of enthausiastic Grenadier owners & soon-to-be-owners.
By-laws were accepted, committee members elected and over the coming days/weeks a range of administration functions & processes will be completed.
INEOS Automotive Australia is strongly supportive of the new Victorian Grenadier owners club and to that end Justin Hocevar, (Head of APAC Region INEOS Automotive), also attended the first club meeting, providing a corporate update to members and confirmed his desire to ensure strong links between IAA the Victorian Club are developed & maintained.
For current and future Grenadier owners, the new Victorian Club will provide a strong and fun environment to support Grenadier owners including a framework to:
- undertake 4x4 group drives,
- share Grenadier driving expriences & knowledge more generally,
- particpate in the resolution of technical issues,
- build 4WD exprience,
- participate in group Grenadier service/maintenance training sessions,
- examine after market vehicle modifications and Grenadier developments,
- create friendships and enjoy social events.
I strongly encourage current & future Grenadier owners based in Victoria Australia to join.
I dont use FB but you can simply complete member application and pay via the club's website:Thanks @grenadierboy, that's awesome! I've applied to join via FB. Cheers, Dre
