How Many Monties and Maestros in The Club?

[D87SMW]

How difficult would it be to put another text-box in the member profiles so that users, who wished to, could declare what cars they owned?

Not very: It's there already.

The problem with that is it soon becomes out of date and meaningless. A perfect case in point is that the list of cars I declared on 05 July on the previous page is already wrong.

Someone should volunteer to update the list if people advise them of changes to their fleet status in some way...

I will do it. I dont mind

[D87SMW]

I suppose it would help if there were a list of text boxes which, with the right PHP code, entered the vehicle details into a database from which an automatic list elsewhere on the forum could be populated for all to see.

Just don't ask me to do any PHP, I hate it!

Not sure how many Montegos in the Club but according to Auto Express only 9000 in total left on the road in the UK.

"436,000 Montegos were sold in the UK between 1984 and 1995. In August 2006, a survey by Auto Express revealed that the Montego was Britain's eighth most scrapped car, with just 8,988 still in working order."

That's good news for the parts situation for the enthusiasts if there's nearly 9,000 still around but the bad news is all the fascist posts we're going to get when one is broken for spares. With just over 2,000 members, I make that 4 cars per person, storage permitting of course:laugh: Two runners and two for spares, bring on the fascists

[Guest]

Good idea. We should have a sticky thread documenting all the vehicles owned by forum/Club members. With their permission, of course. A mention of vehicle status, such as 'running' alongside would be good, also.

So it would be something like:

Car: Austin Maestro
Reg: A123 ABC
Colour: Red
Year: 1983
Style: Hatchback
Rec miles: 56,789
Status: On the road/scrapped/sorn

Any chance we could have the Tables function allowed in BBcode..?

There is no BBcode for tables for me to enable. There's probably a mod somewhere.

And Autocar's figures don't stack up... at least not compared to the DVLA figures from earlier last year suggesting just under 20,000 Montegos on the road at that time. A 50% reduction within 6 months?

Strange... When I tried code from this page, it just displayed the code in my post.

[Jonathan]

I think the forum you took the code from had a mod installed, Steve. I'll make a note to look into it but I'm not going to get time for a while

I have now put in order. The Austins at the top then Rover then Mg, I have put in order the models too.

We somehow have more Montego's than Maestro's.
