Which club does Andy use to get cheap insurance? Perhaps he is like me and uses a membership of another sort of car club, local to himself, to gain insurance benefits. A far more effective method as the area we drive in and store our cars tends to be the same risk. We have a good negotiating position. None the less worth a look at the Mail though. Plus added cars. As indeed a club with a good policy agreement is worth having and savings might cover the cost of membership, as can any other discounts agreed by the Club in question. CCC and BX Club offer 10% of spare parts prices at several outlets country wide, for instance. These local savings are not greatly helpful to members abroad though, which was the thrust of the topic moved to here. The tangent move to deflect the argument coming in there, as predicted via PMs.
I tried putting together a discounted 2 stroke deal some years back, but the support from the Club was absent. That one of the officials sold oils privately might have something to do with it. Another initiative had spares offered at 10% off to members, full price to all but associate members but the Club in question decided, after initially agreeing, to handgrenade the project by withholding funds, wasting my and another's time and effort by none democratic means. This initiative was in part to answer supplying Americans, and other foreign buyers, by offering an internet membership thus avoiding the expenses of home administration costs they could make no use of. Really what Steven is asking for. These things can be done, and easily these days, if the will is there. Yep, been there and done that. You can see why I am moving on.
Am I running down the Microcar Clubs or pointing at elephants in the room? We will find out if the elephants panic, as it will not be me run down in the rush. Nor will I be doing the mucking out while they stand mute so everyone can pretend they are not there. You've got to laugh!
