Re: Who`s been Spotted..........
Spotted in the Morrisons car park in Enfield this afternoon: dark grey TF with the top down. It had some chrome badging at the back with some dates on, you know the 'from - to' kind of thing. Index number BJ04 EJZ.
1965 Volvo 'Amazon', TR7 powered Triumph Toledo, Triumph 1500 FWD and a modern 1.6 Beetle. My name is Ken and I am a caraholic. There is no cure. Thankfully!

Re: Who`s been Spotted..........
Living, as I do, on the edge of the Peak District, the current weather has been ideal for weekend drivers of open top cars (as well as motorcycles) to take to the road. Yesterday on a 30 minute drive towards Ashbourne I passed two silver and one blue TFs heading the opposite direction to my "sparkly" British racing green F.

Re: Who`s been Spotted..........
There are a heck of a lot of spots but not that many 'It was me's'. A lot of folk out there seemingly unaware of the Register/forum. Odd really.

I agree. We need to start spreading the message. Something for the Committee to consider...

Re: Who`s been Spotted..........
Our eldest had a Clio 197 recently, he was "spotted" by a Clio Renaultsport forum member, they subtly left a little forum club card under his wiper. He visited their web-site and found it interesting and attended several forum events including a visit to Gaydon with them.
How about similar for our members ? VistaPrint or similar can knock out a thousand basic cards for very little.

Re: Who`s been Spotted..........
I was driving through Kegworth late this afternoon and waved to a guy driving a Volcano F (reg N6 ... I think - memory's terrible)
Anyone on here? Not sure if the car was for sale?

Also think this is a brilliant idea.
How would it work?
Individual area's ?, would the Register logo be allowed to be used ?,
Great idea Adrian (and Clio Renaultsport forum), who on the committee would need to be contacted about this?

Re: Who`s been Spotted..........
I'll raise at the next committee meeting. Maybe some form of generic flyer which we can make available to members to print off to pop under windscreen wipers of cars they see.

Re: Who`s been Spotted..........
Nigel, thanks for taking this up. I believe a simple card advertising the Car Club and MGF Register would be better than a flyer, I would even pay for some myself. I have cards supplied to me by the Anglia Centre but they're personalised to me so a general "come and visit us" sort of thing on a business card will be invaluable in potentailly attracting new members.

Re: Who`s been Spotted..........
As said Vista print do some great cheap deals, we do this on mgww, with a link to our fb page and just put them on any MG's we see or people we get chatting too ..cath's mg wrote:stuart wrote:That's an excellent ideaadrianclifford wrote:Our eldest had a Clio 197 recently, he was "spotted" by a Clio Renaultsport forum member, they subtly left a little forum club card under his wiper.
