Hi,
Just thought I would bring you up to speed on the plans for Salisbury
Plain 2005.
Whilst it is too late to get anything in announcing the day, the
magazines Total Off Road and 4x4 Mag are going to be sending down a
Journalist and photographer each to cover the day for a future issue.
Tim Gibson will be coming down for TOR and Bob Cooke will be coming
from 4x4 Mag.
I had a long chat with the Editor of Total Off Road about the day and
Landcruisers in general and he is keen to feature more in the magazine,
particularly providing more 'readers rides' style features on what
people have done to their vehicles (typically 2-3 pages describing the
vehicle with photos taken at some off road centre).
If you are interested in getting your vehicle covered in the mag, let
me know and I will make introductions on the day. I doubt they will
pay you, but guess it would be a fun experience/day out.
I have also been in touch with one of the guys in Toyota UK's PR
department and they are interested in the day. They have mentioned
helping with publicity, but again time is short. Certainly given more
time (next year!) I think that we can get them to get more involved
I did point out that while most of us are great fans of the marque we
were unlikely to be going rushing out to buy some of the newer models
and also we weren't great fans of the dealer networks due to the
pricing of parts, etc, however this didn't seem to phase him.
He will get back to me early next week with more details of what he can
do for us. I want to try to build on this relationship because we
might be able to get some deals on parts, invites to vehicle launches,
etc for the list members - you never know.
Well that's about it for now.
If you are coming along and haven't already registered, please do so,
the sooner I can guage numbers the better.
Also, if you know anybody not on the list that might be interested in
coming along, please do spread the word.
