Each of the 2 clubs has,in the past,had its own differing idea's about P6 ownership.
BUT!!!
In the long run, its all about what we, as P6 owners and P6 drivers want out of our cars,be it a concourse car or a bit of a shed but it just keeps on going,total originality, modification, daily driver,only comes out for shows,never in the rain etc!!
We are all " I would hope???" big enough to respect each others views and the ideals of all owners,without having to resort to club snobbery between the members,as I have experienced in the past!
Let alone any internal bitching,power play,which is no good for ANY club!!!
The P6 Drivers club forum, for me, is a bit of a mess,and is difficult to use,and would benefit from using our well established user freindly format!!!
Their mag is a lot better though!
Both clubs have their good and bad points,and I honestly think that a merger of the 2 is for the survival of both clubs,the only real way to go!!
The 2 clubs merging into one "THE ROVER P6 CLUB" will be a stronger organisation overall,benefiting from expertise of all the members!!
The TR Register and TSSC "Triumph Sports Six Club" cater for all variants of a specific marque,and all its derivative forms,racing,rally,etc.
Technical,and physical help is on hand to anyone who needs it from a wide variety of sources worldwide,no matter what your problem!!
Re-manufacture of parts etc!
It would need both sides to freely enter into talks to discuss the best way forward,and which bits to use from both clubs in the new club!
Who would be best to represent the club on the committe,and its relevant positions etc!!
The Drivers club mag is better than the owners club mag,the P6 owners forum,better than the P6 Drivers one!! ETC!!!
Maybe this is the right time to start a poll of the membership to get a feel for their feelings on the matter of a merger!!!
UNFORTUNATELY!!!!
Due to the previous goings on,and the forums suspension, " I wont comment",,, I have not renewed my P6ROC membership,and due to the user-unfreindly forum of the P6Drivers club,I have not renewed with them either,feeling that neither club gives me what I want.
A merger would however regain my support,and I would be one of the first to join up!
