While I appreciate Ian's efforts in setting up & maintaining the club website, I think we need to ad something to make it a more useful tool for club members.
The fact that a new member posted an urgent request for help on 8/10, to which no one seems to have responded, shouts out lound & clear that we have a problem.
My suggestion is to ad a talk list, to which GPMGC members (and only GPMGC members) can subscribe to. With a talk list, when one of our members needs help, we all hear about it RIGHT AWAY.
I think that the lack of interesting topics, combined with relatively few readers, has rendered our forum pretty useless.
In the case of our new member needing fuel pump help, I have to wonder how many dead-end paths he travelled before finding & fixing the problem. Unfortunately, there is SO much misinformation/bad information/urban myths "out there" on MG fuel and electrical systems that our club really needs to do something to prevent members from wasting valuable driving time & financial resources in getting their MG sorted out and running reliably.
BTW, contrary to what it says by my name, I'm most definitely NOT a "new member"
