We seem to have more in red than blue!

nobodys got no money, maybe they got to get the most from there tenners..

I'm not far off going red but happy enough to throw my tenner in for another year.

a tenner spent on here is well spent, one small tip can save a lot on silly little repairs that you may have taken your vehicle to a garage to be done, and instead you get done! and you don't get much at a garage for ten quid, except maybe a sharp intake of breath!!

they just might simply drive vectras now and cant spare a tenner for on line chats about motors they no longer have..

may be so but if they go they take knowledge with them that may save them money in the future, even if it's just how to change a bulb or bleed a clutch.

Just been looking at the membership, and there certainly are more Red members, ie joined but not paid their £10 than ever before.

Only a few have ever posted.
Maybe they just wanted to look at the club to see what it's about, they have not yet had the benefit of being a full member, perhaps we ought to stop them getting access to the important areas, like Briggies jokes. :lol :lol


Like in every sales role, if you have a lead you tend to follow it up, has anyone contacted these people to encourage them to consider joining the club if they still have a suitable vehicle?
Do we know what they think of the club?
Has there ever been a survey?

Don't offer them cheap membership, or we'll all want it. :nenau

Are we happy with the current number of fully paid up members?

I don't mind replying to these people, after all we are all enthusiastic about our 4x4's, and if we can help someone along the way..:thumb2

I notice that a lot of our full members do promote the club, and offer the benefits of full membership which is great, but it is clear that some members are not aware of the Status of some of the "Junior" members.

Lets turn these leads into sales.....:thumb2


just a thought. :thumbs

ssteve, not seen you on here for a while mate, I wanted to say thanks for your mineral oil advice on another thread

im going red this month sometime, saving my tenner as the trol is going on ebay as soon as it gets a new mot and im buying a rover 75 with my money...50/60mpg and a boot big enough to park a small car in

well its a case of you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink it .. i know when i first join here ,,and my first ever reply was , and i thought and it did made m think hells bells ,, the reply i got was hiya and welcome ,, and pay ya tenner and enjoy the forum ,, did make me think money wanted in here ,, and for that tenner u dont get a free sticker like most club forums do ,, the poc,uk mits/shogun club am a member there two ..and you get free club logo sticker club key ring and its 25 pounds for life time membership unlike here ,,with was the only reason i payed the tenner no free sticker NOT ,, :thumb2 sorry but its ture ,, so guys why cant the club stick the club logo sticker and post it to you in with the price .. now the forum is good dont get me wrong with advice and dos saves a few ££££,but lacks a chat room at night love a bit of chat at night :naughty just my thoughts guys old saying you cant keep takeing and give nothing back :nenau:nenau give and take you give you take little back :thumbs

It's more a case of no interest from our leader & lack of activities & not just off road.!
Yes there is / was knowledge on here but it is no longer a 4x4 forum
All we get on here 90% of the time now is joke's & pointless thread's about what song move's you :nenau

So unless there is interest from our leader & it get's back to being a 4x4 forum then the member's will keep on going as I won't be renewing & I know a few more that won't be

Well, I think it's gone a bit quiet at the moment because it's summer holiday season! As for the technical stuff, I think just about everything is covered in the downloads sections :nenau

there are still lots of technical threads just look at the 'todays posts' link.


As for 4x4 stuff what do you want?

"i drove in some mud that was this deep!"

"no mine was deeper"

or maybe -

"My tyres have more tread than yours"

"my lift kit is higher"


I think the site does well and caters for the wider tastes of it's members not just all about the cars! And I enjoyed the 'what song moves you' thread and going by the number of posts so did a lot of people.


I remember when we had some very unsavoury threads that led to all kinds of problems and the I recall a few members who are currently dissatisfied with the 4x4 content thinking they were OK :augie

There are some valid points you raise though, perhaps a life time membership, or a free sticker would be a good idea :thumb2

WELL I LIKE IT HERE AND AS LONG AS I HAVE MY MOTOR I WILL STAY A MEMBER. i dont green lane mud plug or any of your passtimes I JUST LIKE THE BANTER and in thi8s day and times IT IS WORTH A TENNER. KEV.

£ 10= 4 pint's of ale, i think i can miss 4 pints out over a year

ssteve

i got all the downloads saved before the tenner runs out.. then what is there you cant get on a free forum?

well ive joined plenty of general 4x4 clubs and tbh most end up be landy clubs with a
few others seen as odd ones out. have nothing against landies, have had them and
would again as 2nd, or 3rd motors but do get tired of the deluded owners that cant
see they dont have the best all round vehicles. mind perhaps i'm deluded to them!

never been able to get as much info about the nissans as here. typically if you ask
something even a nissan sub group the answer is head over here!
