A very special thanks too...
Yesterday I was in the depths of despair, following my cars MOT failure and a repair bill that did not justify saving the car.
Thanks to this site, 3 guys showed me the way forward. In no particular order especial thanks to these guys. A19-Graham, previous owner of the car, who reminded me it's a car worth saving. next Marinabrian, unexpected but much appreciated advice (didn't expect Brian to support a Moonstone). On that note, I'm sorry Brian has given up his practical service to club members but I fully understand why. finally Shiner (Andy) thanks Andy for the late night 'phone call, it saved the day and my car. Great thing about this club, you have friends you've never met, Shiner excepted, so most of all, thanks to these guys I get to keep my car. |

And isn't this what the club is all about. Don't worry too much about Brian's Distaste of Moonstone, it's all in the best possible humor. Rich, I'll let you my comparisons between Andy and Brian on Sunday after Ive been down for "Little Girl Blue" |

All the above comments are so true of this forum years of knowledge with hands that help from all walks of life if it wasn't for GENUINE stalwarts of the forum many a car would have been broke way before it should be keep up the good work and before you scrap these cars a shout on the forum can normally sort something out to save the cars the best forum by far
Just sat reading the posts also I think yourself Alan give a service to club members with your collect and deliver cars service so it's nice to see you get some help as well in return another good guy from a brill forum

This club cost me money
I got so hooked in on the forum that I decided (after 5 years ownership) to keep my saloon, I spent days, weeks here reading and in May 2014 bought a second Connie this one the Tourer. I would like to think I have friends here that I have not met, even those I may have "rubbed up" the wrong way at times I have met two members that are Rover guys through and through, and been given much free help off them both. I think the club is in a bit of disarray just now with all the bickering, but I`m sure that will pass. Ken. Long live friendship |

I've met many very helpful people on here over the years - most people forget I was a member for years (mattyprice4004) before I started what I do now.
Thanks to everyone.

Really is a unique family here that we belong to, and as has already been said thanks are not necessary (do it for the love of keeping these very special motors on the road) although it is great to show appreciation and acknowledgement where it's due.
