Roadster Owners Club

[spud69]

I'll second that Ginge, I feel for Andy though when his heart has always been in the right place and it looks like he will be the major looser out of all this all due to, and he wont mind me saying this, his drunken bum of a cack stirring brother. Who in a roundabout kind of way has indirectly achieved what he set out to do, that being to alienate Andy from the club and forum.

It's a shame when all that was really at fault was a severe case of poor communication which has upset and pushed out, understandably, certain people. As you state Ginge lets get back to the "happy and constructive place to come and have a chat". Saturn hat off, i've been with the Haynes Roadster culture now for over 2 years and believe it to be fantastic community to be involved with. Lets not go down the Locost route where a lot of egos rule the roost.

I'm not the best at putting my thoughts down but hope i can make some difference and help in getting everything back to 3 months ago.

Regards......AndrewH

And I'll third it Spud. If it wasn't for the welcome and help I received from HAndy when I first came on the forum, then I probably wouldn't be building a roadster at all. In my opinion (for what it's worth), Andy has never appeared to have any ulterior motive for coming on here, or helping setting up the club.
As for people mocking Andy promoting his flat packs on here, that's just pathetic. It's more of a service than a business!! If it's such a good business, why aren't there a whole bunch of entrepeneurs on here offering them cheaper?? The truth is, he's offering something that's difficult to do well for a price that's as cheap as buying the raw steel. If I was making em I'd want about £1,000 a kit to make it worth my while!
Now, let's just get this forum back on track, if a few people have their noses put out of joint, I'm sure it wasn't intentional and they'll soon mend. Let's just hope Andy has a change of heart and gets back on here ASAP, as we need his advice, expertise and crap jokes

Cheers for that Spud,Captin

I my line of work, and many others, communication is key.

Note to self communicate more, (they wouldn’t believe at work that I have told myself to communicate more! )

Hopfully after some 'decompression' (nice Army term) we might get back to normality.

Cheers Ginge

My apologies if my bringing Andy's brother's performance up has made him decide to quit the forum, that was never my intention and I was quite happy for Andy to be the main driving force behind the club. I just felt it had to be said that it was a glaring conflict of interest for the guy and put him in a position that nobody deserves to be placed in.

FWIW I never felt we had a two tier club or forum, just that there was a distinct lack of communication between committee members at least and I agreed with Ronnie, and still do, that the selection of moderators could have been done more considerately and that it would have been nice if it had been publicly announced rather than leaving us to find it out for ourselves.
