Thanks for that Fred, one of the reasons I reemerged from lurking in the shadows was the very fact I miss the social aspect of interacting with others.

As you point out this is something that affects each and every one of us either directly or indirectly, and as to the cars, well they are for me very much in the background in terms of their importance.

Yes a car club is made up of it's membership with a common interest, but it shouldn't trump friendships or indeed adversarial relationships formed, otherwise life becomes fairly stale, and pretty quickly
