Haha you blokes must be very bored!

Thanks guys you all helped me make it a great site... really appreciate your comments.....

It's growing so rapidly now, I am also fairly glad the server and my custom program that runs the entire site actually seems to be handling it all quite nicely.

Don't be put off by the 152 05+ Hilux figure, that's only taking note of those who actually bothered updating their profile, many other new model Hilux members are out there but haven't updated their profile yet.

Cheers
Dave

Never realized that we almost touching 1,000 members.

That's good considering that we mainly cater for Hilux owners.

lol,
There would be over 4000 tyres,
over 75,000 litres of fuel
2,800 Tonne of vehicle
and well over $48,000,000 worth.

Pretty impressive.

on a side note, if toyota could fix there supply problems and actualy have vehicles available within a smaller time frame, there would be a lot more toyota on the road.

I have been extreamly amazed at the take up of the new lux, including the workmate vehicles, up here in townsville you cant drive to work without seeing close to a dozen new model hilux.s

no offence taken, but I was lucky enough to order the super special paint de-protection program as the green will streak and scratch if the truck is looked at c**k eyed.

Maybe three more to make the 1000 as a triton and pathfinder seem to have snuck on here

Re: 469 members...500 soon!!!! Better make that 4000!! Crikey

Postby broke on Thu, 14 Jan 2010 6:39 +0000

Been a while since I posted this thread up!! ;)

That convoy that I was talking about would go for 80 km's now!!!!!

That's certainly a long line up. Well done Dave and all that contribute!

Probably less than half actually post anything I reckon!! 4000 members and it's always the same couple of dozen trucks that go on the trips as well! That's a lotta folks missing out on quality time!

At this rate we'll hit 5000 before the end of the month. Crikey. Maybe 7000 thousand by the end of the year. I think, as well as google, word of mouth is playing a big part in the sites growth. It's great, and with the increasing number of members and their Hilux's comes experience and knowledge. You can still learn something new everyday on this site. :ugeek: 8-)

It took 6 months to go from 500 members to 1000 members but only 3 months to go from 4000 to 5000. The growth is amazing.
