Well if they don't respond - we should surely set our own Luego Owners Club up 
------------------------------------
If you believe you're not crazy, whilst everybody is telling you, you are - then they are definitely wrong!

Yes, any volunteers out there to manage it?? After all it shouldn't be too big a job seeing as how there can only be a finite number of possible
members in light of recent events.....

Setting up our own club seems like a good idea. I would be willing to give up a little time to help out.
I do think we should organise a get together to talk about this an other issues at either newark or donnington..

All for it, I think we need to do something if the existing(!) club doesn't respond. Without either a club or a manufacturer i'm afraid
our toys might suffer somewhat in residual values! Plus i'm sure that there must be other real benefits to being a club member....anyone got any
experience of running a club? I'm willing to chip in but have no idea what's involved!!

i think that we all meet at newark at a certain place at a certain time and discuss the club issue, would be very constructive i feel if we are all
there in person, does anybody know the show ground very well and where a good place would be to meet. or even is it possible to get a luego stand
there? should be a few of us there
anybody in swindon or cirencester (south cotswolds)?

May be worth contacting the show organisers to see if they have any spaces left for a Luego meet?

Meet at Newark - good idea. I'm going to have to pull my tripe out to get through this SVA (with inevitable failiures) in time though. Is it
frowned upon to trailer to shows?? How many of us do we reckon on?

OK ,,so we all agree we need to meet up at newark and talk about this..
some of us may have cars on the road and others, like me are still a year away from SVA.
So how do we organise this?
Who whants to be involved
Which lucky sods will be in their cars?
How many Vientos are their?
How many Velocities?
How many locosts?
When will I finish my Viento?
How much have I had to drink?
Why do I go to work on a Monday when I hate My Job?

Good news that man! might be a good idea not to call it the Luego owners club in case it causes any problems with the organisers of said club? Just a
thought in case it is a registered name etc

Luego (www.locostbuilders.co.uk) club?
I have a 4mx4m gazebo thingy that we could possibly set up for some shade as it is often very hot at Newark ( or shelter from the rain ) and some
chairs … But I will be in my tin top as Viento still a long way off..
Just an idea…

I'll certainly try to get to Newark and as of this moment I consider myself a member of The Luego owners club (as long as a garage full of bits
that will one day be a velocity qualifies.)
Richard : How far along with the build: I hope to be ready by next Spring /Summer- work and budget get in the way of real progress.
Sadish isn't it that it took the collapse of the company to gell us into some sort of unit? Up to now most of us have been building away in our
own small spaces.
It'll be great to meet up.

Yes, the name sounds good to me. As mentioned - funny how it's taken the collapse of Luego to kick us up the arse!!
I am awaiting a date for SVA from VOSA. However, whether it passes in time for Newark or not I might just trailer it up there anyway. It's a
long way from S Wales for will effectively be a shakedown run....but I reckon that if we do have a Luego stand then the more cars there the better?
Show that we exist, so to speak.

Barry, how much you got left to do? if your looking for anything let me know - just had a major end of build garage clean out, but you never
know.....also be nice to see another interpretation of the build!
Just had last big spend (hopefully) on car - westfield megabusa exhaust silencer (need the cat). £400!!!! feel like crying but hopefully it will be
worth it in the end....if missus finds out i will be crying!!
