rs owners club!!!

I think that if you join for 3 years then you get a discounted rate.

One thing I don't want to see happening again in non-RS cars on local group stands.

Mixed feelings for me really, dad and laterally msyelf have been members for 20 years now...
The mag is not what it was but I suppose the net has stolen a lot of thunder, funnily enough I was just reading a 97 mag on my lunch and it was a very different beast.

My only gripe and it's one that dad had aswell was there was a certain clique about the way it's run, although we were members etc because we didn't show the various cars we had it always made us feel slightly second best at NAT day(intentional on the RSOC part definitely not but it felt that way)
I'm somewhat pleased though they seem recently to have recalled that the R in RS stands for Rallye...

Probably worth the £35 for the year as that's what half a tank of fuel now, so not a great cost..

Cocker if i can't get me rarer than rare into national day and pay my hard earned brass to support the club.... fookers without rs's should be barred from turning up at a show hoping to get in with it unless theres special parking inside the event yet not with the rs's if yer catch me drift

ps i know Robski makes some valid points but theres some top banannas in the rsoc,i tell people to contact the registrar when they are after a certain car they are desperate for as he knows loads of people with them and if one of them mentions about selling up it makes sense imo

it is a twats trick cherry picking the treasure from under members noses if certain people on the staff do do that though but i think them days are long gone because of the internet as people load up ads themselves and its first come first served .


i could tell the story of the widow selling her old mans lotus cortina mk1 that some get in the lc owners club never put in the mag until he got the reddies first to capture the very very very rare crayford convertible lotus cortina mk1 from under the noses of everyone else but i won't

[Simon T]

Agree totally. I pay my membership etc and show ticket money to be on a local group stand with other RS cars, not a stand with vectras and skodas an vws on, which has happened in the past. As you say, if its a non rs car it should be on a visiting car club stand.

i've never had any issues with any of the registars,some maybe be a tad like a Prefect at school that no one liked...and yes they do have thier worth for sure....
I'm suprised there has been NO mention of memberships numbers from you in this thread!

[robski]

Many a true word spoken Rob.



totally agree with the above, it still amazes me after all this time they can not see the benefit of the internet

exactly Ben,how LONG did it take for online membership?....finally it arrived and they have had vastly improved new members subscribing....well if you believe what was printed in Rallye news....but i wouldn't be suprised if it was true!

[robski]

Bang on the money Rob.

cheers Lord Franco .... i guess we sing from the same hym sheet!.....if the RSOC was as simple as this site,thier would be rarely any ripples in the lake,let alone the ocean....but put all those ego's in one enviroment,an its hey "yahtzeee"...the willy waving/ego is rife!

Why hasn't Rainbird piped up with his 2 cents yet?!

LOL i was thinking the same....maybe i stole his thunder(or line) with the "ooohh its not what the club gives you,its what you give it" shite.....or he's still in his hair inplant sessions....or maybe he's cottaging...either option is not unthinkable

Not unthinkable, I'd just rather not think about it!

[robski]

but you have sooooo pictured it in your mind even if your intelect tells you NOOOOO and then hurled repeatedly i bet

Well now you mention it<<<<<<<<< the fookin membership number saga needs a kick up the gorbals if yer ask me... i mean you join a club and get a number and leave for what ever reason and decide to join again>>> how and why is it a good idea to give the old member whose details the club still posess a new number thus confusing people

i don't care what people say....i have respect for members who joined before me and have a interest in the ford rs brand and i couldn't give 2 hoots what some newby git thinks about rs's and the rs owners club its the cars and punters that matter and i say this !!!!!!!!

BACK TO BASICS........... Ford RS's only no ifs or buts. Old Members welcomed back like a long lost cat,and tbh get rid of so many rooms and bunch loads up like cosworths stick them all together. focus rs's stick them all together get me drift


oh and regards our escort cozzeh registrar he's a belter,theres people who have been well and truly stuck got help off him and advice. i have had advice myself and always appreciate stuff like that as this is what its all about

[rsnibbs]

Ok

[JonJ]

I was a member but let it lapse this year
A couple of years ago I was looking for an escos I contacted the then registrar and got no response.
Got moaned at for turning up at a show with a dirty car.
Having said that there are also good people too
