Jeff , ive been a rsoc member 17 years and never got a tax disc holder , i have a gripe then
..
£10 for gold membership here , i am sorry , it was £20 when i was one
..maybe the reduction says it all ?? , like i say not having a go at PF , as i fully respect all involved , old and new , but it seems to me that people post on here all the time having a go at the rsoc , not many on the rsoc have a go at PF unless a thread pops up having a go at the club first ..

agree with ypu on a few but have emailed nat. group a few time about acess to forum but never had a reply and cant get on there.
insurace was over £1000 with their insurerers £670 wih adrian flux

there isnt a 4x4 saph registrar and hasnt been for a while
promises from different members of the nat. committee to come down and see us at one of our club nights have never materilised.
telling us that we cant heve regional day, one occasion it was because of clash with northern group day after we had spoken to said group and cleared it with them and went back to nat. group it was that they had no money to do it

all in all have been pretty pissed of with nat. group recently but will be renewing

good come back
point 1 worth the wait IMO
Point 2 1 ex 500 owner caused all that , good riddance don't tar us all with the same brush
point 3 maybe be , but piece of mind come if the worse was to happen , i for one am happy with the club scheme
point 4 cant comment , aint got a 3dr , got a top 500 registrar though
point 5 would rather have a ford receipt in my history file than a Micky mouse one
point 6 why black mail ? , its a club , club members get priority , as you would on a PF stand ..
i aint to happy with the rsoc currently , but when i see threads like this having a go , i will answer

No disrespect , but in the words of silent night beds , keep dreaming , if you want to listen to such drivel carry on , i know the 1 very well and i mean well , prob better than most , i am a real thorn in his side and he knows it ,shame really he was a decant bloke till about 3 years ago ,then he lost the plot totally , as said for 3 years .
you ready .....
Proof please
whats that silence from the preacher ?? , no not you , i mean the1 , look as i say no disrespect , but you have no idea ..
and yes the 1 did start it , and he's has opportunity after opportunity to come to the table with proof , and guess what , at every turn he's been a no show unlike the rest of us ..
you get what you want out of any club, but if the RSOC wasnt here then are cars would be worth nout because without the shows/ect there wouldnt be many people that would pay the money that we get for the cars now
Shame mate , 4x4 reg did step down last year , shame no one is willing to step up .
insurance , did you phone em back ? , i know you should not have to but if you did and they did not beat flux i would be supprised .

did phone insurace back and they didint want to know was only 21 though.
just seems that the committe in general cant be arsed with the south west def one thing in particular that they have sided with that alot of people dont agree with
people will pay top money for older rs cars because they are good.....i will always be prepared to pay top money for a true rs...because i love em, nothing to do with the rsoc
unlike the new ones, just think, in a few years it will be a female club....with the new focus rs being a girls car....its only going to get harder for the club imo.....the real rs days are over....
sooo.....lee pearson???? still here????
