Seeing that Jeff's post was an issue he was helping clarify for our club - I'll put my 2 cents in.
Like Jeeper Ron, our club has a few members who do not own Toyota Land Cruisers (or any Toyota 4WD). Myself I have a couple Nissan Safaris (Y60 Patrols) - one was what i could afford and the other was too good of a deal to pass up. What all our club's non-TLC owners have in common is a love of the Toyota Land Cruiser. If I ever manage to get the Safari in my garaged cleaned up, registered and sold, I may be able to realize my dream of owning a Land Cruiser.
The way I see it - it is like the Amature Radio Club I belong to. I don't own an amature radio and I don't hold a license to operate one; but I am welcome into the club because I am interested in amature radio. As the rules stand, i can't belong to the TLCA. I accept that. If I could, I would gladly pay a TLCA membership - just so I could get the magazine. Every year I have purchased a calander and it is prominently displayed on our kitchen wall.
Some people like to focus on the letter of laws. I think any decent organization focuses on the intent of the laws - those are based on your mission statement.
