Hi Centaur,
Basically the Loose Nuts started off as as mainly by a bunch of people in the Optical game, it came about by Good old ROYBOY noticing that there was a lot of us that had 4X4's and didn't have anyone to get away with, mainly because most of us had visited the club scene and found them not of our liking. Our group now comprises people of all walks of life .
I for one do not care for the politicing that goes on or the clicky little groups that form within some of these clubs . LOOSE NUTS is just like the 4X4 Earth in a way that it provides a forum for people that are like minded about 4WD driving, though LOOSE NUTS are more outdoors based than.
Traveller will probably testify that we all bohemians, he was away with us last weekend.
We do not have a commitee as such, the only real office bearer is fleety who only by the fact couldn't get out of the room faster than the rest of us is our emailout person. He puts out an email notice that such an such is shooting through for a day , a weekend or what ever to someplace, anyone interested contact them on phone number.
We have a small cottage up at Lima where in the winter months we go to get away from the big smoke ( see it in my list of threads ) here we take any knew chum to 4X4ing and teach them the basics of it all .)
We have probably one so called meeting a year called the
Christmas Do or someones Birthday or whatever, where the tracks get steeper and more difficult, the fish get longer- in short the truth gets embellished quite a bit
By being a group we don't have fees, or have the worry about the insurance crap nor put up with people we don't want to.We have been going 10 years now .
Have a chat to traveller as he met most of us last weekend, he will probably be mentally scarred for the rest of his life, but at least I warned him to take us as he found us.
You can email me direct on

Regards BUSHNUT
