"Merchandise" for this forum at present appears to be non-existent.
There are 1000 forum members. Plenty of people who join car clubs etc don't mind stumping up for stickers, badges, hats etc. I can't see how a couple of quid for an engraved plaque is any different? Its not as though it will add any value to the car.


By the way, yes, that is £2 - and I will give away the first 5 for free!

I am very much of the same mind

Going to stick my head on the block now

Time for some form of " Roadster " club methinks

Go gentle with me chaps.......I am not a well man.......... But what the heck. If you cant knock a man when he is down, when can you

funny you should mention it Ronnie as i mentioned it to chris at exeter last year and on the back of that conversation have registered a web domain for such a club.

Ash thats a great idea, & Ronnie i think you have hit the nail on the head with the idea of a "club", this surely can be taken forward, as it can run alongside the forum for those that "WISH" to be part of it.

If you need a small contribution towards the maintainance of the domain count me in.

I am happy to assist in any way possible but I have to warn you, I am a complete & utter web moron

i have to agree with adrian on the organisational side of things. i would be happy to run the club but honestly dont think i would have time to do it until my build is complete. i would also strongly suggest that any other person offering to run such a culb finish their build first.

if someone with a finished car wants to take on the idea i dont mind doing hosting/tech stuff but i dont currently have the time to organise events etc etc.

The first (ten or so) cars that were built and on the road do have some pioneering status and deserve to be acknowledged as "our heroes". The same goes for their builders.
But we would like to see a growing number of followers. As has been said, many people have bought the book and are building anonymously, without participating in the forum. Maybe the shields shouln't be numbered, apart from the 10 golden ones.

I suggest that we start a list where everyone who wants to be known can add themselves when the build has started and when on the road.

Joining the list is a matter of copy/paste, adding a line and posting to the registre thread. So the list gets longer and no club has to be formed yet.


FOR-list
number/identity of car or builder/date on the road mm-yyy / some details
001 / Chris Gibbs / 06-2005(?) / Pinto 1,8l - HAYNES yellow, red stripe

Jumping from PIP-list to FOR-list : erase your line in the PIP-list and add a line in the List of Heroes.
