Capri Club Magazine Late?

[Jasonmarie]

I guess the Gold membership ones get sent direct from CCI then.

I thought I'd get a gold membership as I am, apparently, "loaded" and I thought the price was reasonable anyway ....

Glad to say it's come at last. Good job I didn't ask something difficult!

Did it come with a free gift ?

Hehe, yes Jason, the brown envelope it came in! In fact, I do wish they would stop sending it in the usual see-through bag, as it advertises the fact that we have a Capri doesn't it?

I get Flypast magazine delivered every month. That's how Jason found out that I own a Spitfire.

How long have you had that for Andrew, is it a recent purchase?

Yes, at the renewal the year before last, I think. I've still got some time to go before I break even!

I must admit, I've thought about it a few times, and in hindsight (which is a terrible thing!) I wish I had done, as I'd be into profit now I would think. What puts me off now is, what would happen if John calls it a day and the Club folds?

Any other benefits other than the early arrival of the magazine?

Just a few gifts and lifetime free entry into the CCI shows.
Like you I wished I'd done it when I first joined the club. The John Hill thing did cross my mind, but in the end I just took the plunge.

If and when John calls it a day then the parts scene will be totally screwed but there seems to be a large number of owners who are too blinkered to see this. They are so fixated with it being a business, look around you, all major car clubs are in fact businesses, that's how they generate income to re invest in parts etc to keep the cars on the road. I have been a member now for almost 34 years, I was a member long before setting up my business and I can honestly say that in all that time I have never had an issue with any parts and to be honest the Capri Club shows are the only ones that don't rip me off for a pitch price when I'm trading. Instead of constantly bitching owners should be thankful for the parts suppliers but in my experience it simply isn't that way. Yes , there is the internet, E bay etc but the large majority of sellers have no clue what they're selling .

Well that isn't my outlook, I've often championed the Club and said how worse off we would be if it folded. I know that Andrew feels the same, so that's at least three of us Martin. So there's the beginnings of a little fan club for the Club!
