I think this is a great idea but words are not enough.
Who is going to take the lead role? Someone needs to volunteer to start it off. Needs to liase with Darren to get him to contact past purchasers and
find out how much interest there realy is, not just on here.
Maybe we should wait until one of the big shows next year and share Darrens stand and start the whole thing from there.
We stand more chance of getting the thing off the ground if we can get a few cars out on show.
I hope to have my car on the road by the Detling Show date.
I,ve need to talk to Darren next week so perhaps I'll mention the idea to him then and see if he's prepared to support it.
If your at Exeter FatBoy perhaps you could have a word.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

Hi Colin. alias: FatBoy
Been talking to Bert tonight and told him that I am definately up for the owners club. I'm going away for most of Dec and first part of Jan so
wont be much help untill mid Jan but I'm happy to help in any way I can.
Think a meet of the "locals" with a view to the first stages of setting up the club would be a good move but I'm sure you know this
from your TVR days.
It might be worth one of us contacting "donut" he's heavily involved with MK club I think, so might be able to give us some
pointers.
I think this is a great idea and really want to see it get off the ground. I think the time is just about right before the numbers get unmanageable.
The only slight concern I have is how widely dispersed the present owners are.
We will certainly require the full cooperation of Darren to get thing going.
Keep in touch via e-mail if you need to, my address is available in my bio on here.
Looks like I'm going to be building Berts MegaSquirt then!!!!!!
Cheers!!!!!
Edit:
PS. Bert. Have a look at my photo archive for some pics if I don't get round to e-mailing tem to you.... Nov pics folder for latest...

Best way to get hold of Darren now is at KCB on 01474 707071. This is where all the GTS stuff is made now and its where Darren spends most of his
time. Well thats not strictly true, he spends more time there than any other one place!!!!!
I managed to get through to him just a couple days ago, hope this helps you.

I shall repeat what has been said before...
If you really want to speak to Darren, phone him. If its not so important, email him.

if you have spent money with him and he has banked it, he should supply the goods, it should not be up to everyone to chase him all the time.
It's too much of a regular occurance with darren to be temporay supply problems. saying speak to him all the time is meaningless if you want
something done write to him on paper and then keep copies if he does nothing etc then you have legal recourse due to everything being in writing.

We can host the site on the same site as the GTS main site. I have tons of webspace available now.
Kind regards,
Darren

Hiya Darren,
Good to see you here. Just as an aside did you know your web site acts a bit strange and loses options off the left hand frameset so sometimes you do
not have links to get to all of you products?

I have spoken to Darren a fair bit in the past few days and he seems quite happy for an owners club to be set up.
It sounds to me that the main stumbling block at the moment is deciding who is going to take the lead and liase with everyone.
Is it worthwhile collecting the email addresses/skills of everyone interested in helping and creating a structure first?
