Welcome to ORE -

As many will tell you - its a good idea to join a club to get access to properties. Unlike the main thread in this forum currently would indicate I've never had a bad experience with any of the 4x4 Clubs so please don't let that put you off joining one.

Look forward to seeing some more pics from you.

Cheers,

Where abouts in Auckland are you moving to dude?

There are 5 really good clubs in AKL - best to pick the one closest to home.
