CELEBRATE OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY!
Well, an entire year has already passed since we launched this club for Venture Vehicles Enthusiasts. Can you even believe it? It really seems like yesterday, but its been an entire year!
I think that we can all agree that we were hoping to SEE more progress with the V1 project. Actually, I think it's safe to say that most of us were expecting to see video of the alpha by now. But I think it's always good to remember that we really do not know ALL of what is going on behind the scenes.
Case in point.... During my telephone conversation with Steve, he told me that they are simply not going public with a lot of what is happening. He gave various reasons for this, but the bottom line is that he assured me that the project is on course. He also said that they are creating a vehicle that can be released AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, and at a reasonable price that most can afford. I think we can all be happy about that!
As we go into our SECOND year of operation, I think it would be a good idea to revive some old club projects, and even come up with some new ones. We had the cardboard V1 project that some were working on, and we even had the remote-control V1 that seems to have been spinning it's wheels over the past couple months! Maybe we can light a fire under these projects, and get them going again.

CLUB CONTEST!-----CLUB CONTEST!
A NEW CLUB CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT... If you have an idea for a new club project, please submit it to this thread. It could be ANYTHING you can think of relating to the V1. We will set a date for all proposed projects to be submitted by, and then the members will choose which we should make "official" club projects.
The WINNERS of this contest will win a FREE club coffee mug. There can be MULTIPLE winners in this contest. But only 1 entry per member is allowed.
So, be creative! Think of something that we can do while waiting for the V1 to be released. Make it good. Make it exciting. Make it unique. And be sure to give DETAILS of your idea!
Thanks again to all of you who have contributed over this past year, and have made this club a resounding success. Always remember that this club is here for YOU to enjoy. Can you imagine the fun we will be having when this vehicle is finally released, and we actually have one parked in our driveway? As a club I know we will be putting together local chapters, and organizing club meets, and other club events where we will finally be able to meet each other "in the flesh", instead of simply through these forums! It is going to be incredible.
Well, here's to another successful year! che:ers:1 (make mine a root beer!)
