VR6

Ello :wave:

:drinking: I am at work all day :sad: :| :reindeer:

Ok let's make this the official Corrado Forum Happy Christmas thread. What an honour :lol:

Enough said indeed.

Sorry Paul, I forget I can be quite blunt / misunderstood at times. So my therapist advises anyway. Seriously, no offence intended, was just letting you know, quite curtly I admit, that I was moving the thread from Engines to Exterior. Smiley >>> :grin:

The last decade has been a struggle.

Closing

Nothing to do with engines, moving.

Ultimately I am sure Andi is receptive to offers. There's nothing we can do to push things forward. It's all in the CCGB hands to propose something.

Good post and well worth reading :salute:

Ok so I was £1.40 out :tongue:

You say that but I don't think the forum has any ambition of forming more of a formal paid-up membership base. Otherwise, surely we would have already done so before now? Likewise, the CCGB has a forum already but, with all due respect, it's sort of reinventing the wheel now that this forum is so well established. A lot of Mods on here are CCGB members and a lot of CCGB members actively use this forum.

I didn't shorten anything - all I did was use the second link you posted above. Go to edit it again and see what it looks like ... :)

I can't speak for Andi obviously but I think that sounds like a very sensible approach for at least putting to the vote, subject to what Andi thinks. I seriously think that with some CCGB branding/logos/URL's on here, the CCGB memberships would increase quite a bit. A sort of alternative would be to remunerate the forum based specifically on new members it introduces (could be done using using the re-directed URL no doubt), rather than a blanket contribution for every (existing) CCGB member. However I think it is reasonable to say a larger chunk of membership fees would be fair. But that should be a win/win scenario as the CCGB is getting new members it wouldn't ordinarily have had.

How much?? I'm sure, from memory, they were like £35 or something.

Not really sure what you're doing Hasan :lol: but I've sorted it for you :)

No probs and no harm done - can certainly see the point. As I say, we just need to be consistent / fair to everyone using the fixed classified system. Best of luck with the sale :)

Don't worry about it Paul, I guess it's easy to forget that most people aren't aware of the history. Very short version, this forum sort of spawned from the CCGB as a, dare I say, more modern medium for Corrado discussion and online community. The CCGB is more about arranging events, meetings etc, whereas this forum tends to be more of an online platform. Money raised by this forum goes towards server/hosting costs. Money raised by the CCGB goes into more of an official club and is used for shows, merchandising etc.

I absolutely agree. Something like that has been bandied around for years. As much as I joke and poke fun at the 'conflict' between the two, I think it's a genuine shame there can't be a significant amalgamation of resources.

If nothing else it has highlighted the number of CCGB members who use this forum for conducting CCGB business and don't contribute financially here. Interesting to me anyway seeing as the discussion is of a financial nature anyway. The idea is coming from a good place. It won't happen (as things stand) though unfortunately. CCGB guys, I'm sure you won't take me too seriously. It's Christmas and we all love a good panto storyline after all ;)

I don't like being such a :hitler: but could you start a proper classified advert please? It's only fair to everyone else trying to sell a car.

I've just edited the link to Google as a test and that worked ok. How big is the link you are trying to use? Could always use something like TinyURL to shorten it if it's too large.

Yeah, no point buying second hand to save a tenner.

Why the hell can't you leave negative feedbacks for dickheads who bid and don't pay? What is Ebay's logic? Happened to me a few weeks back. Ended up wasting a week or two waiting and faffing and ended up having to re-list it.

Is it a bad time to mention I know of a Blackberry VR with leather, ZW1's and 80k for £1k .... ?
