I wouldn't dream of it Rich like I said on the other post.

Drink Feck ar,se girls oh I love my...…………….BRICK.

AR FE,CK IT FED UP WITH BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.

I'd never leave here I'm too hooked of the place and the friends I've made here even tho were miles away I've made some friends for life and that's something I'll always be grateful for.

The passion we share for cars as well really that should be the driving force of any club or forum cars and the owners behind them regardless of differences.

There also other reason why I still here.


And that's too remember the club members that we have sadly lost
Windrush

Beejay

when they were here I've always respected them and the banters we had was great, they really lit up the forums in a big way.


If I leave the forums I'll be walking away from them and its something I can't and will not do .


Love me or hate me I couldn't give a flying monkeys.

No beeper will drive me away.

Same reason for me Dave. Too many friendships forged, all the way from Cornmall to Essex, the midlands, Yorkshire,Wales right up through Scotland to the highlands, through Rdinburgh and Glasgow.

I believe this has put folk off staying with the forum.

sorry I don't agree with this post

The subscription fee has been discussed before. If my £10 go towards keeping this forum open then I'm fine with that even if £9.99 goes in someone's pocket.

This is the most helpful forum I am involved with and like many others have saved hundreds of pounds by the help I have been given.

If you don't like someone, that's not a problem but please do not post comments that may upset them, there is no need!

commenting on members cars for sale, double edged this one.
Sometimes a car for sale is not quite as good as the description, I know I bought one.
Perhaps giving the heads up to one and all is not a bad thing but running a car down for other reasons, perhaps inappropriate.

I don't like to see members leave because they are fed up with other members.

If this forum/club was to close I'd be mortified and I think my car could end up being sold much sooner then I'd like purely because I could not fix it due to lack of knowledge.


may I ask that we all reflect on our actions and aim not to cause offence.

I hope Brian returns.

Lets work to keep the forum going and be mindful of what we say.

I have to say Rich, that is impressive. I've been here as a subscribing member nearly 11 years and the closest I have managed to making friends are Darcydog and Wraymond.

I was starting to feel a level of affinity towards Brian but he has p****d off. So Clive and Wraymond it is.

I never really considered Rover ownership as a form of social mobility. I am not one for "saving" cars personally but see nothing wrong with others doing it if that is their interest. I also do not view such people as part of a clique just because others congratulate them for their achievement. I would certainly not go as afar as labeling the individuals selfish. If you have a genuine interest in protecting the interest of the needy, I suggest you stop worrying about those who can afford to run a Rover 75/MG-ZTT and get out to help at a food bank. That will help put things into perspective.

[FLYING BANANA]

I to have made loads of friends through this club all over the UK. RPWC went out of his way to make me welcome when I visited Newcastle to attend a meet. He even came to the hotel on the Saturday to make sure I had settled in ok. On the Sunday he showed me where the local car wash was. Since that day we have been very good friends.Rich has also done some work on Banana for me.

When I used to attend the Dorset meets Ian and Jan Goldson used to let me stay at there home rather than staying at expensive hotels in and around Weymouth. We have remained very good friends since. I even bought Ian's Firefrost ZT from him, twice. Ian has also looked after Banana a few times.

When Ian was trying to restore the Solar Red Rover 75, 1 off 2 produced I drove up to Newcastle to Rich's home to collect parts. I then returned the same day back to Dorset with those parts.

Chris Roy in Tayside always makes me welcome when I'm up in that part of the word. He also keeps in contact by text, PM or letters making sure I'm ok health wise or helping me keep Banana on the road.

Graham Cruickshank is a good friend and put me in contact with a lovely B & B when I stay at Grantown on Spey. Yet another friendship cemented in place.
I often meet a banned member along with his wife, Anne Maria there as well.

Matt and Shirley in Torquay looked after me when I was taken ill earlier this year. Took me into their home. Matt has helped to keep both Bana and Redfive on the road. He even let me park the Bear on the drive when I went to collect Redfive earlier this year. Another friendship set in concrete.

5 years ago I visited Allen and Val in Saltash, first time I had ever been there. And through there kindness and help I now live there.

Whether it be advice, repairs or from a social point of view that is what this club is all about. I have made numerous friends, some have left of their own accord, some have been banned by there own foolish behaviour and I'm still friends with most of them as well. I've lost many a friend on here where they have gone to that other club in the sky. And if I can I will go and pay my respects.

We want the likes of Lord Rover, Trikey and Deb's, Dorset Bob, Sonic ZS, Bazza59, Reebs, Artic, Trebor, Wooleysox, Jules, Coolcat and many more for they, and others, are what this club is all about.

Now if you want me I'll be in my blanket fort with my crayons.
