I have just read on the RSOC that Phil Saunders might be stepping down, if so who else would like a crack at it
or is it just me

steve

 

linky linky please?

 

the registrar is supposed to do an article for rallye news every 2 months at least, last time i think was around 2001, go for it steve but i think you need to be in the "inner circle" to stand a chance

 

I am not quite in the the" inner circle" lol but have been to 4 of the last 5 agm's so my face is reasonbly well known in the club, so I'm no stranger. there is a glimmer of hope lol

steve

 

Go for it mate

 

fucking go for it mate.i hate that pillock saunders. he used to do the escort and the saff 4x4 and he was such a twat with the saff side ofit.dunno what he is like on escort as i dont on one.but dont like him at all so go for it.

 

I'm going to nominate John Taylor at the agm if Phil is standing down

 

It MUST be someone who is available to answer their phone, be friendly and knowledgeable too, but I would be happy if they could just answer their phone

 

i would be happy with an article to read every now and again in rallye news plus someone with pc access so they can help out and keep thier eye on the ball so to speak

 

Duncoss article was an excellent read on his concours for a year so i agree with you there Nick

 

how do you vote? i dont own one but hate him so i will help remove him.

 

Tried ringing him tons of times when had the esc cos. No answer. step down and fuck off lol

 

Phil only lives up the road from me and i cant get hold of him

 

He still has to send over the papers off our old EsCos...
That's been gone for 1,5 years now but hey

 

if you're an rsoc member just go to the AGM & vote on the registrars nominated

 

may well do

 

Yes he knows them inside out but they could be a conflict of intrest with his day job..

steve

 

In what respect? surely because he buys, sells & restores them that makes him all the more capable of doing the job. Remember, its not a paid position so he can hardly use it to his advantage.

You could say the same about Paul @ North Yorks couldn't you?

 

some people could think that about paul aswell yes, but surely what john does in his day Job could directly effect his valuations,
eg he restores a car for a customer, then he has to value it for insurance purposes in his role of registrar, that is leaving him open to all sorts of accusations,
i'm, not getting at John at all, he genuinely does know his stuff and after seeing him at a few agm's he isn't shy at coming forward!!
lol

steve

 

got a link for the thread please?

 

i will be having a go at this there isnt much i dont know about these cars if anything!!!!!!! if i get elected i can promise people there will be some grate times ahead for esc cos owners as i have alot of good ideas in the pipeline!!!!! my phone is allways on and must give numerous people advise every week who phone just for advise. getting back to what your saying steve as monster said my knowledge and commitment to the cars only makes me an even better man for the job just because i work with these cars makes no difference i wont let myself be left open to anything as im a fair guy paul at north yorks is no different to me at all . any way lets wait and see till the agm if thers a better man for the job out there good luck to him cheers john.

 

i think what is being got at here is that people may think that john would under value a car to make anything he has seem better maybe? dont know.
as said the same could be said of paul at north yorks though and havent heard much in the way of probs on that yet.



lets be honest people,anyone is better than phil though. (not meant as a negative comment on you john as i dont know you mate)

 

At the end of the day you have to be able to trust the registrar to give an unbiased valuation on your car. & i dont think John would give a better valuation to one of 'his' cars than to one he's not had anything to do with, its a pretty small community is the RS scene nowadays & it wouldn't take long for word to get round that he's an unfair registrar & that would be disastrous to his business. The guy still has to put food on the table & pay his debts just like eveeryone else & I for one dont think he's stupid enough to jeopardise his families wellbeing just so that he can over value his own cars or under value other peoples cars.

just my opinion

 

MONSTER
I know what you are saying mate. what ive put is not my view but just what some may well think.

if this chap is as good as you/him say then it can only be a good thing.
ive only had my experience with saunders through my saff but he fucked me about and i did not appreciate it at all and he bloody knew it after!

 

Wasn't having a dig at you mate, just stating my opinion.

lets see what happens at the AGM, a bit of healthy competition for the job cant do any harm

 

I had a lot of back stabbing when i got the 500 reg, job as many thought i had a conflict of intrest .

I do the job as beat i can , I have tried very hard to help other 500 owners and have been involved with quite a few car sales for people over the last few months and i have had a lot of thanks from buyers and sellers who have said i helped so much and with no gain to myself

Its about TRUST, as said this job isnt a paid job and takes a lot of effort and time .

I have put my own money into having banners made , and getting T shirts etc made ( the Shirts i will be repaid for by the members ) but i paid for the banner myself .

another point is valuations ,

I feel if you ask most 500 owners i have been fair in my valuations and given people honest reviews of the car and its insurance value

I also would like to point out that my own 2 500"s were valued by the previous registrar and the values have stayed the same

I feel John Taylor would be a fantastic registrar and would be his usuall honest stand up self ,Go for it John

Paul

 

cheers paul

 

From what I have heard and the limited contact I have had with John plus the fact he is keen as mustard and has plans already, I would vote for him and really hope he gets the role

 

NORTH YORKS RS SPARES
as ive said before paul,you are one trader i do trust and from the times ive met you i get the feeling you are a genuine bloke so if john is like you then it can only be a good thing


MONSTER...No probs mate,didnt think you were having a pop.just didnt want people thinking that was my thought

 

i too will nominate john for the job

his knowledge is second to none

go for it john

 

John,It´s not a case of you leaving yourself open it´s how other people can interprit a situation and twist things around, just be aware that the first numpty that doesn´t get what he believes is the correct vaue for his esc cos might shout that it´s only cos he cleaned it himself and not you!
hope it doesn´t happen tho.
I wouldn´t apply for the post if someone with far more knowledge applied such as yourself, so you have my support..

what plans have you got give us all a clue...eg front spoilers
lol

steve

 

How often does JT come on this Board?

 

To be fair Paul, seeing the amount of cars you do, and owning TWO (greedy fooker ) mint 500's you have probably got THE BEST knowledge and experience to value the cars correctly, and be a great point of contact for 500 owners

From what I have heard about John Taylor, he seems to be just the man for the job who actually seems to care about the cars and thier owners, which IMHO is 95% of the battle won already

 

what relevance does that have?

 

it will be nice to have a registrar who you can contact

 

steve i totaly know what you are saying and really apreciate it ,but you are going to get people like that in every role in any job, my main concern is the cars and there owners i have got loads of things up my sleeve for escort owners all i will say is you wont be dissapointed. i have allready been looking into the spoiler isue for some time now there is a lot of complications with that but it aint over till its over!!!!!!!!! back to the job i would give it my best and ive never been a registra but i know it isnt an easy job and can be very time consuming but thats all part of it. cheers john

 

Blimey chill....

No relevance to the topic just a genaral question...

I wanted to confirm whether it would be worth me pm'ing him or trying to find an email address instead!!...

 

we will all have to go to the agm and vote

 

who said i wasn't chilled lol

 

i remember suggesting you for registrars position a while back on rsoc site john, but cant remember what you said it would be nice if the new registrar could come on here as well as the rsoc sites and be in touch with the esc cos owners,something phils never done at all,good luck anyway,although you shouldnt need it think you will easily get voted in with all your knowledge and skills
