FOOT AND MOUTH OUTBREAK

I have just seen on sky news the foot and mouth outbreak on a farm in surrey.Lets hope this is dealt with better  than in 2001 otherwise the previous thread about passengers needing licenses and/or membership cards could be irrelevant for a while.I am very lucky to have a reliable regular passenger but can relate to and sympathise with those turning up to events looking for passengers in order to get a run. Long may it continue!     Nick

"and passengers must produce a valid Club Membership Card"

The latest MSA Comic list various "proposed changes for consultation via Motorsports Now". On page 46 under 3.1.4 it says in the second paragraph:-

 

"Drivers in Clubman events where other clubs have accepted an invitation or and National B and above status events, must produce a valid Competition Licence as detailed in section E. and passengers must produce a valid Club Membership Card."

 

My reading of this is that passengers must be a member of a Motor Club unless its a Clubsport event. This would mean any passenger in an ACTC trial would have to have a Club Membership card. Not sure what "grade" an MCC trail event is i.e Clubsport, Clubman or national B

 

If this is right its a problem as many competitors use occassional passengers, friends, relations, work colleagues who are not members of a club.

 

What do others think?

Are these Scams?

There are a number of 'classified ads' appeared on Ebay today, all newly registered business accounts with (0) feedback.  They are all different user names with addresses in different parts of the country but all offering classic cars for around £1900 each. There's a 1933 Lagonda VDP tourer, 1928 supercharged Riley special, a 1962 Daimler Dart, a rather nice E type Jaguar coupe and several others.  Definitely a snip at these prices but somehow I smell a fish!!

 

What do you think???
