John , put it down to age been in 30 year this year . When I joined lads in there 20s and up but 50 was pushing it everyone worked . Total enthusiasts the sort of do I purchase a new pair of jeans or a part for the mog , " well I have had these jeans ONLY 15 year should get another 15 out of them so its a mog part. Also we gave each other parts starting motors, exhausts, front seats , exhaust clamps and never wanted anything in exchange even helped work on each others mog along with follow a mate down South to bring him back when he left his mog then take him back or stop at a mog owners house then go and collect the mog . Drove each others cars on the fields or the roads along with track days, here try my car tell me what you think and chuck you the keys or swap cars one lad almost put mine into a wall . Then it started to change and I saw the enthusiast move away one by one from noggins I exchanged centres and did a 150 mile round trip to a noggin and watched it do the same , the true enthusiasts are still out their I still bump into them but they dont want the club anymore . Now its owners who refuse to get there hands dirty have no clue whats under the bonnet so whats the point of going to a noggin and listening to a
boasting about her holiday
. I am not the only one when I bump into the dirty hand lads we all think the same . Hence I was overjoyed to join another car club total enthusiasts the lad I spoke to a couple of month ago stank of oil he had been under his car all day . In the future when I am long gone the newbies of today IF they turn enthusiast will be saying what I have just written .
There's some negative comments so far which I find both quite strange and quite sad. TM and MSCC run along nicely as two separate identities, both providing what individuals need. I'm not a huge fan of the club although I am still in it but the new website is a great improvement and is much needed.
