iam bemused now!! does the club not run the forum? god iam way offside with all this, newbie is a good description of myself me thinx cheers " daft " paul

hi all ive been a vw nut since i was a kid, beetles, variants, golfs etc but ive always wanted a porsche 911 and think its the natural progression from vw ownership have recently purchased my storm after 20yrs of looking and waiting!! and after recently reading on here that the corrado is classed as a poor mans porsche!! my thoughts diverted to my 911 dream again, and looking at the 993 prices they are within my budget. but my dilemma is as much as i really do covert the 911, since my storm purchase apart from my mates 16 valver i just dont see any corrados! but porsches they like every bloody where!! so do i keep the storm and spend a bit on it? or sell it and get the less exclusive porsche? cheers paul ps. apart from the forum short shift my storm is " au natural " so any input to what could make it a better car will be looked into my end.

my point exactly . a better Sprinter would keep you on board! yes? cheers paul

quite a steady debate we seem to be having!! lets keep it friendly. 2 people like the staggered membership idea! cripes no one ever agrees with me as a norm!! as with the bentley idea cracking 1 i think. and if anyone needs to borrow mine in the mean time just ask. the Sprinter mag i think will be a great selling point for new members if it was a better mag and only the current members can improve it. the main reason i joined club gti was for the rabbit mag. exclusivity and all that, it was a cracking mag. the fact that we are a 1 trick pony can bring its positives as well as its negatives. our forum for 1 is i think brilliant. but i must repeat that in my humble opinion the Sprinter could be our golden goose, if we all as ive said contribute to it more. also the fact that we have a healthy bank balance in these troubled times is a massive plus point! which the committee should be applauded for, so lets not spend funds for the sake of it but for the benefit of it cheers paul

hi all iam a new member on here but would like to offer my humble opinion. even though i would gladly pay the £15 membership for the sprinter alone, after reading the latest issue i think we are missing a trick here. this magazine could be so much better if we all contributed to it and iam sure that is exactly what Jim is asking for within his notes. i for 1 will be writing my own little note to go into the next edition very soon. also as most of the current members have no problem with paying £15 but have a problem with holding too much funds and scareing off new members. why cant we have a staggered members fee eg. new members pay say the current £10 ( for the 1st year ) current members pay £15 ? also i do agree that the club should be run on a non profit basis. but to hold no funds would in my opinion be foolish there must always be a float to cover any mishaps that might occur like what has already been mentioned above and also things like web expenses ( ie website bug!!! ) and as for a paperless sprinter that would be the demise of the club to me. this website is already doing the paperless version surely? cheers all ps. as iam also an unpaid committee man at my local rugby club so i know full well how hard any voluntary club committee person works so hats off to you all from me. i will be more active myself from now on

i noticed exactly the same today when i went back to the works carpark about an hour after parking up. but my mates 09 octavia was worse than my storm and my 08 vw t5 front screen takes ages to clear!!! so i wouldnt worry too much cheers paul
