Passionford isn't an official "Club" as such, like the RSOC. It is run like a business by Stu and Pet. So there is not a fund or massive pool of money from memberships like the RSOC ALLEGEDLY have.

Any money received from gold membership and trade membership goes back into hosting, maintaining and constantly improving the site.

And shows cost ALOT of money to set up. You could get 100 people here, now to promise to help fund it! But when it comes to the crunch unfortunately, people always let you down...

BUT there are meets up and down the country and Pf always has a big stand with member cars on it at all major shows, join in on one of them

Because it would involve a certain few having to do some hard work - when all you have to do on here is push buttons

Yeah I suppose you're right! As everyone on the Web Team has an endless amount of free time due to not having jobs or their own businesses to run

Its not a club- its an internet forum which runs in a similar vain to a club.

Like Paddy said- shows cost big bucks to put on.

I think the likes of SP now charge upwards 6k for the sort of package the central group gets- and thats with RSOC indemnity insurance, and also envolves all of the group working like dicks up to the date, on the date and after the date.

Send Nikki a PM, she and Punter [who's about as useful as tits on a fish ] organise all of PassionFords presence at the shows.

Nothings stopping you organising a local pub meet to you, get a load of people to turn up and see where it gets you Or why not have the meet at Santa Pod each month! Great place to get a load of petrol heads along to

I haven't been to the Berks one in a while but our 1st Birthday meet was featured in a magazine a couple of years ago
