Hello there and welcome to this madness we call EDMC lol  ;D!! Basically you need to go to the main website and go to the download section then forms and fill out the membership application form, once you done that send it off to the address on the top/bottom  of the form and wait to get your membership card through the post or can get it at a monthly club meet. Hope this helped  . Ant  |

Hi Big Trigg, Welcome to the Sunny South Shawns great for getting you back on the road, or I'm sure if you buy me a pint next Monday I can sort you out with a welder. Old Git and a few others have done some great full retorations for a good price, done around the corner from you in Hastings, chat to the Old Git (Jim) or Rachel ;D I've a 998 thats a smooth runner , about to take it out for a low mileage 998, It needs a few oil seals and a drop gear bearing. You can come around to take it for a drive etc. I will nick the final & speedo drive from it, but my doner engine has a 3.44 final drive but the wrong speedo drive as its for 12" wheels on a metro. See you Monday? |

Was the support vehicle for m4minis at 2004 rivrun we stripped out the rear seats and chav'd it up as much as possible the donner vehicle was £120 j reg 1.7L volvo 440 of ebay had a double bed in the rear was sprayed with white appliance paint had half a bin as the front scoop a b&q shelving unit as the spoiler we drove it from london to newquay and back then sold him for £120 he then went on to do the ramshackle rally and drove all the way to poland and back was a nightmare to drive especialy when your trying to keep up with minis |
