welcome to TOCAU mate

Very Nice ride!

good luck.. hope you get through :)

everytime someone comes back from a temporary ban, they have to send nude pictures of themselves to an admin... guys ones normally get deleted instantly. :lol:

thanks mate

if anyone has any problems please post them here. I am sure the settings are all correct but i have not tested them on a members side yet.

The TOCAU Blog is now active. See Blogs link in above menu.

Its a fantastic peice of kit, alot of features and can be a bit daunting but once you get the swing of things its sweet.

The blog will allow you to alter your blog page by simply dragging the boxes across the screen. So everyones blog can be unique to themselves.

We are also working on adding themes and more colours.

Why do we need blog you may ask?

Well, many things it can be used for, one of them is car modding... imagine your working on modding your car, you take pics of the process. The blog allows you to journal your work for all to see.

Or you may wish to keep a journal for your mates to see on here! We want you guys to enjoy yourself on TOCAU.

Enjoy! or as us Pommys say here in the UK, "Go Knock Yourself out"

if you join silver, PM me your name and address and I will send you one.. please note it can take a few weeks to arrive as I am sending from UK and I do post every monday.

what about if the chat room opened at certain times? chat fest for a few hours! not a 24 hour thing.

I have ran chat rooms before, they are successful if set for certain evenings, it a good laugh.

I am also looking into a Wiki so that all the useful stuff will get archived in the wiki such as How to's and tips.

I know i promised this lot a while ago but i still have serious internet issues and awaiting a new cable to be laid through my garden. I need to ensure my net access is reliable as i have to upgrade the boards first, then blog, gallery update.. with these issues, if it messes up halfway then could have some issues with the forum software and be messy. Plus i am getting such poor upload speeds its crazy.

So I will probably try and do most in one day over a weekend when i have time to be around to fix any issues.

40 is Au dollars which converts to $29 USD

It doesnt need to be changed as its the club thats losing through the exchange rate. You paid $31 USD not AUD mate ;)

I will send stickers out if they PM me :)

people should DONATE to help... I know i will be!

its coming real soon.. been ill with flu this weekend.. public holidays too.. missed out . grrrrr

i have to so an upgrade first before released to members.

Chat room is already ready... Just need to get it up on the boards .

The blog would be a personal blog where you can custimize the look of your own blog and use it for personal blogging or even car mod blogging.

Should be good fun to use.

Shoutbox I will not install purely because of past security issues.

Blogs would also keep the OT topics down too.

For the good

now i have your attn ;)

Looking to add a couple of things to the forums but need to test the water

please answer the poll above.

cheers

This one posted had me crying with laughter... thanks so much for posting it.

The Supra is long gone and the Lexus LF-A Will be the next supercar.

remember a few years back we nominated a guy on the club forum to jump out of a plane for a laugh... it was meant for a joke to scare the guy but then suddenly we realised we raised hundreds and the guy couldnt back out... haha few months later with a 4 figured sum raised he has no choice and he jumped... bloke had balls!

we raised loads of dosh for Cancer Research.. filmed his pain then posted it on the boards

seems weird.. as she died on her brithday it would seem like that was the time due.. like in a car park.. you pay for 1 hour etc.

again i can assure you it is Ben Collins.. one of them anyway

French and Saunders Lord of the rings spoof. This will make you laugh.. watch all the way through including credits

very nice indeed!

Like the beer on the dash

i used to sell them.

You need to contact a guy in the uk called Wiked Art (not sure if he spells it like that) who makes them...

I used to sell a load from him but have not done any in a few years.. they are good

v nice!

the stig is Ben Collins.. i know somone who knows him wink wink

there have been a few though

i will take a look at openWiki.. i was looking into one that slot its the forum software so members are already logged in.

I am making some big changes to the rest of the website this month. I am upgrading the news section part of the site as I feel adding more toyota content can only make the site bigger and better. I am currently not happy with the current setup.

I also have plans for members to write reviews on their toyota dealer. Praising good service and publicising bad service is a way for all of our members to make informed decisions about which Toyota dealers to use, based on the opinions and real-life experiences of others. Toyota is supposed to be about good service. This has not always been the case from some dealers. From previous experience with the dealer reviews (i have used these on other clubs i run) I have found this to be a very good tool and dealers will start recognising it if we all team together and start adding some good reviews. It's not all about logging bad reviews... a good review maintains a good service.. no dealer wishes to lose that high rank.

So whats this thread about?

I would like members to post some ideas of what they would like to see on TOCAU. Would you like to see a better gallery? Maybe a video area or wiki?

Please contribute your thoughts and I will take some time and look through with the rest of the team.

cheers!

Steve

Glad members like it

If it gets busier then i will add it to the mainstream lists
