I even promoted your club to redmk1 (2471MR209 on here).
With this in mind I don't really understand scoobyblue's comments/reluctance but respect them, although segregating yourself from other owners seems a strange way to build a membership. I am not offended in any way (nor did I mean offence in posting here) and would prefer to know how you feel rather than flogging a dead horse.
My open invitation to all MK1 owners to join us still stands, you will be made more than welcome if you want to join us at any drive, meet or event. Just let me know by PM through this site, through one of the other sites if you are a member or through 2471MR209, so that numbers for catering etc can be confirmed prior to the event itself.
Hope to see some of you out and about or at some of the shows in the not too distant future.
Good luck and happy driving.
