Hey All,
Not to make light of the effort which must be undertaken to get these things to happen, but i was wondering what others thought.
I picked Insurance! :

[Casper]

Insurance for sure.

[MrQuan]

I also have to go with insurance, second preference would be the fuel savings.

As a lot of us here are modding our cars and a lot are under 25... the insurance cost skyrocket, it's rediculas :(

[MrQuan]

Ok, who said they'd rather an oragne peekoe tea :ticking:

I demand you explain to me exactly what it is! (is it some codename for ganja?)

[347Stroker]

After going through the rigmorole of trying to get a decent insurance price on my XR I am building, and the troubles it is causing, an understanding insurance company would be good. The main company to highly modified cars.....go...ggo gave me a quote that was in the best way I can say it, ludicrous, and I have a spotless record, 60% no claim, in my 30's......

It'd be broke with one claim :
The sheer amount some of the cars on here are worth. Engines in excess of 70k

[megsy]

fuel, i'd use it more

[EA2BA]

I say Fuel.

But .... if you got 10% off groceries you also still get a fuel docket for 4cents off, so that would be a better win-win situation I think.

Interesting Concept guys but as an admin I would only vouch for 10 or less drivers on this forum for insurance purposes, the rest I would expect a higher than standard premium. :

Not to mention the fewls that want to cut their springs because they want a lower ride height. :yeees:

Obviously a Sponsor will not support any concept unless it has something in return, this being so, I am left wondering what members can offer based on the suggestions.

No we are not looking for Ambulance Chasers either! :evil_laug :evil_laug

[RED_EL_XR8]

Supermarket Discounts?, free upsizes?, Cut price car polish? Red walks off into the distance shaking his head and wondering what peoples concepts of a vehicle forum actually are!

Well if a sponser offers a 10% discount to forum members and as a result their number of customers increases then they are getting something in return.

If I may use the example of bike clubs/forums - I joined an online bike club/forum, have been a member for a while, attend some rides.

Certain bike shops offer a 10-15% discount if you mention you are a memebr of said club when purchasing. As a result most members of the club purchase from these particular bike shops - i.e. their customer base has grown as has customer loyalty.

Another one is my insurer - at the time of taking out the policy they asked me if i was a member of any bike clubs - i recieved a 10% discount as i was a member of the club, i honsestly don't know what their reasoning is for this but i reckon (besides the fact they are more likley to get your business) that they are saying person joins club = person is enthusiast, enthusiast = less likley to be a di$khead rider.

[MrQuan]

All new members should get a FordForums.com.au showbag. Amongst other things it will contain a woopie cusion, snappy-gum, vouchers to places you've never heard of (and expired last month), and a big inflatable hammer.

Other replacement items could be... a kazoo, ninja costume, or a plastic sherrif badge.

[merlin]

I picked groceries :

I figure insurance only costs about $1000 per year or less (10% discount would save me $100 p.a.).

Groceries cost at least $100 per week multiply by 52 to give $5200 p.a. less 10% discount is a saving of $520 :

[Sourbastard]

I picked nothing, cause thats what we are likely to recieve

[lukey]

i doubt coles would give 10% off, they dont even give that much for staff

[FRDGAL]

I chose Insurance. My 2nd choice would be Fuel.

[Mike Gayner]

Living in NZ I'm doubtful of ever reaping the benefits of our gracious sponsors so I went for the tea. Which I'm dubious about.

[Peuty]

Screw discounts, give me the Orange tea!

[kaytonk]

I went with coles/woolies, insurance company's never give that much of a discount, 4c litre would save me about $1 a week, whereas 10% off at coles would save me $10 a week.

I cant believe all the people who go outta their way to get 4c/litre off. It probably costs more money in petrol to find a petrol station that honours the discount then it would to just fill up. I might save $1 a week. Over a year thats a whole $50 which you wont really notice anyways lol.

[kaytonk]

lol, indeed. Its funny in bundy, the woolies discount petrel station has cars backed all the way up the street, happily burning fuel while waiting to save 4c a litre. i just dont get it

[Danny]

Yeah nah just found this thread, and I must say, Orange tea is very important.....

[kaytonk]

as long as its the middle of the night, and i have nothing better to do, one more post:
most of the independant fuel stations are now doing much better discounts than the big guys anyway. for instance, if you buy or sell a house through a particular real estate here, and take your receipt to one of the fuel stations, they give you up to 100c/L off, basically a free tank of fuel, other companies give you 10-50c off etc, depending what you buy, and where from

[EFPWR]

I still dont have a clue what "Orange Peekoe Tea" is?

[Peuty]

Its tea with orange peeko in it.

Derrrrr. ;)

[niko]

insurance company is the best bet here, others are really car related or would benifet dramatically off, everyone has insurance. (HOPEFULLY) not everyone likes tea, or hangs out at coles/woolies, hj or maccas maybe hehe, but insurance is the best here. no matter of age, u have a decent size bill waiting

[RED_EL_XR8]

Has anyone keen for these mega discounts thought up a possible perceived advantages would exist for the supposed sponsors/benefactors?

I'm interested to hear what you people think.

For a supermarket?

For an insurer?

For Rotton Ronnies?

For an Oil Company?

etc?
