Echoes of the problems FTO drivers have.

Martin from the Nissan SX owners club posted this:

Worth a look perhaps?

Sounds promising if they had a bit more information on it? Any idea what happens after you send an email? Doesnt really say what they plan to do either, but could be a good way to get the ball rolling someway.
Would be about time someone started looking into it.

Cheers Colm.
I like their thinking actually, about bringing it to car owners groups instead of say 'midnight club', *spit*, car specific groups tend to appreciate their car more so they could have a good point there.
Would have been an option to put down the car club as well though on the email so the company can see that they are people in a car specific environment.

I can vouch for the guys behind this initiative, its certainly worthwhile sending an email.

Well I've sent one off anyway, hopefully they'll get a good feedback. And at least they're taking initiative by doing this, fair play to them.

No offence if you're in it but the only members cars I've ever seen are idiots driving non powerful cars with tat all over them trying to overtake me in ridiculous dangerous spots on the roads and revving behind me or acting the prick leading to the rest of us in the car scene getting a bad name.
Thats just my personal opinion and experience though...

Oh I know, its just that its only the idiots that I've ever come across, its just an unfortunate coincidence thats all, no offence intended ME. I'm sure there are plenty of members that dont act the gowl, but its the rest of them that stick out.

Unfortunately, in a club that size, the lowest common denominator sets the impression. Sames goes anywhere and one person can ruin a club by acting the "gowl" as you put it.
