Definitely walk away from the car until the New Year and then re-visit - there are a couple of cracking bodyshops over this neck of the woods if need be
As for the registrar bit can you not just do what you think is needed to keep the mark properly represented at the main club level - leverage off some of the things that happen on here e.g. The Lakes Tour or the knowledge that exists on this board and others - does it matter whether it's on the main board or not? I know it doesn't for me as a lot of the folk on here are present on many of the boards and are also members of the main club.
Besides, as has been said here, just having access to a knowledgeable registrar counts for a lot
Hi Paul
you cant rush these things ,ive been restoring mine for three years now and sometimes it get you down big time ,even worse when you know spring will be here soon and you wont be out there in the car.
yove done the right thing walk away for a few weeks.
As for another RS mk2 membership club , remember the farce a few years back( no disrespect to the people that made an effort) ,dont think anyone wants a repeat of that.
thats it paul, chins up i bet you cant last a month without having to go out there, even if its just for a peek, its in your blood, finish the car and enjoy it
chin up mate - best to leave alone for a while as said and attack in the new year - do something less stressfull like getting them base seats re-fettled
Bodyshops can be a pain, 3 year wait until I had to take my shell back. Now down at AP Motorsport in Edinburgh who have sorted out a good place to get the painting done. Bear with it, will be worth it in the end
Paul for what its worth chill out and take a step back and then a deep breath ok.
Right thing to remember is that Paul nrth yorks took up the 500 role in april/may 07 as did Wayne Champion for the MK1 and Paul is still waiting to collect the files this maybe to do with the previous registrars similar issues have occurred with the fiesta registrar who has got absolutely zero files from the predecessor and they have been written to by the club and the club solicitor but in this particular case I would say this may not necessarilybe down to the Club but the ex-registrar not being available to accommodate arrangements for the files to be collected, however, i would agree that it is unprofessional from whoever is responsible for dealing with these sort of issues as the least that should be done is a telephone call to keep you up to date with what the current situation is in getting you the files just out of respect and basic diplomacy.
Bare with it and just bide your time perhaps if it is that fraustrating you need to phone the Registrars Rep and tell him exactly what you feel this way there is no understanding and may well gee people up to get you the files ASAP.
Paintshops ........had 3 lined up now to paint my car ,never in the office (apparently) , won't return calls, don't turn up to view and quote when they say they are gonna .
I am seriously ****ed off with everything , credit to people who just say '**** it' and sell up, my heads done in , been looking at other cars with a serious intent to sell up . Lifes to short to waste time chasing people to give them my money.
Those people who contacted me earlier this week pm me an offer for my shell , one of the best shells out there, ask Oggie or Spence , you might just catch me in the right mood.
Don't anyone say 'but your the reggie' , in name only , heard **** all from that shower of shite (the RSOC) since I took over, who wants the role cos tomorrow I'm handing my notice in and walking away from this scene.
Angry and ****ed off in Cumbria
