Default What's the coolest car club membership you've had?

The "Group B Car Club" for me from mid 90's until its demise a few years later.

Membership basically consisted of owners of mainly R5 Turbo 1's & 2's, plus Audi quattros (incl Sport SWB and ex works car) and the odd Lancia Delta S4, Peugeot 205 T16, Ford RS200 and MG Metro 6R4.

We held the occasional track day, but falling membership killed the club off. Here's me in mine at the mickey mouse Curborough sprint track in about 1996.



Some of the actual rally cars can now be seen on Slowly Sideways demonstrations.

To be honest, the whole scooby scene was pretty good when i first got into it (long time ago).

But your group B club sounds better

Scooby scene isn't what it used to be sadly

I left the car ownership a while back. Went to an Audi S4 - the scene was VERY elitist and seemed to be professional-based. I'm a professional but never really felt mega welcome.

Probably because I'm a pr1ck

My current Golf GTI mk5 has a great scene on mk5golfgti.com

Still come here though, as I've made some quality friends
**** all to do with the car though.

Got fatter, uglier and less popular - bit like me probably!!

I enjoyed the Subaru events 8/10 years back (race days, runs out, meetings,shows etc.), since then I haven't bothered.

Some of the old names (good, real, people) are gone, and very few are left.

The board has change massively too.

Sold the Subaru, and bought a couple of Mitsubishi's, a Datsun and a moped.

Maybe I grew out of Subaru ownership, but I enjoyed it while I had it.

porsche, but they were such a set of old gits (compared to me and my 2 mates aged 23/24 ish) at the time..... never carried on turning up for meets much.

been a member of all sorts of VW clubs, which have been a great laugh- especially with campervans, meeting up, going away etc.
