That other one has been around for ages and not sold. And way over priced.

No, LTS a green saloon.

Good price as well. Looks very nice.

Try waterstones online they show it in stock 45 pound.

Andy and anyone else who reads this.

I have always valued the work done by the volunteers, never have I said otherwise.

As to your comment 'but when I look round for help those who talk the talk are nowhere to be seen.', if you had taken me up on my offer of help with the Le Mans trip on this last occasion and that in 2022, but alas not not taken up by nor even acknowledged by you, you would not feel this way. I emailed you directly and made the offer on here on the Forum, as well as to the current Chairman.

As to my comment re entitled this was in relation to being entitled to be able to take up the offer of booking trip packaged tickets as a member at the time.

I hope that if a queue is formed to take over the organizing of the trip in future it is acknowledged and taken up instead of being ignored.

I may well re-join the club in the future if it seems to me to offer something I think is for me. I hope it will.

I wish no-one any ill will nor ever have, I know the current chairman has a lot to do, along with the council to bring the club into the 21st century. I wish all well.

Thomas nice to meet you and many thanks for your comments and maybe if I return to the fold I may do a bit in Action, but I wont hold my breath.

Take care

Hi Andy

Yes I did indeed enjoy the hospitality of the ACOC members in the club enclosure.

I do not agree with the comment 'You appeared happy to take advantage of our pre-ordered ticket package with a special Clubs Only infield car pass for your AC 2 Litre Saloon allowing you to park in the ACOC Enclosure'. I was actually still a member when the tickets were ordered and as such was entitled to do so.

I am sure it was a lot of hard work, which as you may recall I did offer my assistance, but was not taken up on it.

Anyway glad to see a nice range of cars on the enclosure as stated in the bit on the Le Mans classic post above.

Robin

I have never said I have joined a better club just one suits me. I do not consider your opinion of any consequence to me. I did not expect to benefit from using the facilities of the cub, I paid for the use. Now I must move on.

My views are my own and should not affect any others, Each to their own.

Cheers

Gary

Hi Guys

Great time at Le Mans and thanks to the Club letting me park on the AC pitch ;D

Cheers Andy for organising tickets etc, David cheers for still being you.

Some great cars on the pitch, loved the 37 Greyhound.

Legs got worn out walking around Le Mans, never enough time to see it all, Great night racing.

Here's a couple of pics.

Gary

Hi Guy's

On board ferry bound for Dieppe, Le Mans here I come.

Looks like maybe storm or two on Thurs, but who knows.

See all those going on site.

Cheers and stay shiny side up.

Gary

Robin

I presume you are correct!, however the question was as above.

So, unless you know the answer I suggest you leave it to someone who does.

Gary

Hi

Anyone know if the AC parking area is the same as last year on the Bugatti circuit?

Cheers

Gary

I agree to a point but, the Forum is far from ephemeral as all content is on here for as long at the Forum runs. Yes, content maybe less detailed than the printed format, however, the quality however short is usually good and often supported by photo's.

It is well known that I have little interest in ACtion and the majority of the content, it does not mean it is not for all, maybe members like to see all the same adverts for ACOC events month on month, but as I say each to their own.

Quote 'I know it's a cliché, but may I also state that before stating that the club does not offer what we expect from it, we should perhaps question ourselves in what we could bring to it. Just like with life in general people who bring the least are very good at complaining the most.'

I may moan, but, I have put some effort in to club, I have assisted at the Sprint, Offered my services to the club to assist in organising Le Mans trips. I even put my self forward to a position on the Council. Oh and yes it is a cliché.

I do not suggest that the club does not offer some what they want, just that it has nothing for me at this time.

Bobby

I know the Forum is open to all, and glad that it is as hopefully non-members get to see and hear about AC cars. You never know they may take it upon themselves to join the Club.

Unfortunately, ACtion does not lend it self well to ongoing resto's, mod's etc as much as the Forum does. Take the resto/mod of BE646 as an example. It is live and current, you can zoom in on the pics for a better view, not possible in the small format ACtion.

Surely, it is better to fly the flag for AC cars outside the Club as those that are members already no about our cars. Maybe more members should try the Forum.

Anyway, I will still support the AC Marque and the club by using the Forum, and driving my car around the UK and Europe, attending meets and generally chatting to people who really don't know the Marque beyond a Cobra.

I am not happy about leaving the Club but there was not anything in it for me. I hardly ever read an ACtion cover to cover, sometimes, there was something that I found interesting, but, not often. Yet, I find many things on the Forum of interest and of use.

Each to there own, I hope is will be well.

I will be pottering around Suffolk soon, so anybody who see's me stop and have a chat.

Hi Bobby

Sadly you have either misread my post or just going on a rant. I did not say the magazine does not have some interesting articles, in fact I did not mention the magazine other than to say that I have received my last ACtion, as no longer a member.

I am glad the National went well, just not my thing. I already know about the various models of AC.

I still believe the club is generally Ace and its derivatives/Cobra centric. It would not recognise the 75th anniversary of the 2 litre Saloon  last year, it was stated that there may be a celebration of the Ace's 70th (point made me thinks). Look at all the Auction info in Action mostly Ace/Cobra.

I never had the desire to write a story/article about the my car for ACtion, I prefer the immediacy of the Forum. It is a shame that it is not used more to pull in new club members. Post some pics of the National so that non members can see what the National is about. Maybe stick on a video of the National. It is no good just sticking it in the Mag as only members will see them. The club/association I have moved to does just that and the Ol' Girl features in a number of them.

Still Hope the club grows and starts to get a younger membership.

I have lost interest in the club. My Bad. However, If I can find a way to fit a seatbelt to the Ol' Girl, I will attend the Santa Pod visit and lend support.

Stay safe all.

Gary

Hi Barrie

I will always be loitering around here on the Forum. The Ol Girl will be mentioned from time to time as and when I am fiddling about. Still attempting to complete the front Disc conversion. Now looking at Bike carbs for better performance and something different, 6 carbs  lovely intake sound  :P.

The secrecy element I was alluding to was from the past when minutes did not appear and many things were kept out of the loop. I am sure that now there are improvements, I just don't do Zoom or any other form of hi tech comms, social media etc etc.

I have run a registry in the past and found it quite simple, record facts against a serial number/VIN etc and make no comment on authenticity. let the buyer/owner make his own mind up. But then I live a simple life with a simple car, I don't care much for its value to others only to me.

I have joined another club and the Ol Girl and AC marque has been welcomed and some great comments and interest.

I hope the club does come good and maybe I will revisit one day, but  at present have no interest in the club and its activities. Hey ho each to their own.

Take care

Gary

John

You will have some members going purple and having fits.

A kit car question ;D
