No Stuart, I don't intend departing this earth yet! I've got a Vectra estate as well, which is also going to a new owner. It's just being more practical and having one car. I've had the LS430 for a year, and it's been great to own, everyone loves it. The Volvo I'm buying has some of the same features like pop up sat nav, ventilated leather seats and loads of toys, and is just about as mint as you can get, and it's rare to find one with only 32K.And a little PS to Mike. I seem to remember you decided not to renew your Gold membership because you didn't agree with all the rules! Anyway, all done now.
There is little point in discussing why I did or did not leave the Gold scheme as it has no bearing on what you were trying to manipulate your way around.
I would have thought you'd know me better than that Mike after all these years. Very unfair of you to judge my motives, I had absolutely no intention of manipulation, that's very offensive.
If I agree with the rules as they are have nothing to do with the way I deal with them for every one, I am still in the same mindset I was when I left the Gold Scheme but my own personal preferences cannot be bought to bare on the way I moderate. When asked if I would like to be one of the Moderators I never saw that the rules would ever be a problem for me to deal with which includes the Gold Membership. I look after their interests as well as yours in an even and fair way according to the rules laid down. If you or anyone else is unhappy with any of the rules then its within your powers to bring it to the attention of the club administrators and try to get it changed. We cant allow members to advertise however "casually" a car or anything else on the premise your doing a kind and charitable thing by letting the LOC membership "casually" know your selling your car at an advantages price.
Now please let that be an end to it.
