Probably the best owners' club in the World.....

[Morris Montego]

I take it we're all old enough here to remember the lager advert (though I can't recall the brand, the power of advertising??!?)

Anyway, having just bought a Rover 416, I initially tried contacting, and then doing an application for, the Rover 200 & 400 Owners' Club. No response to my initial message a week ago and my application via their website keeps on failing. This only serves to add to my impression that MMOC is a particularly good, rather special, Owners' Club.


.....and, incidentally, the HHR 400 - Yes, the ZS got rave reviews as a driver's car but the motoring press never seemed that enthusiastic about more cooking 400s, 45s. Having now driven my 400 for 3 or 4 days, I think it's bloody great!!

Hi
With another hat on, I am membership secretary of the Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club. I apologise if we haven't responded to your e-mail. I have been away and am only now catching up with e-mails and membership applications. We are aware that there are bandwidth issues with the website. We have recently been bombarded with bots from Eastern Europe that are filling our bandwidth trying to crash our site. We imagine that they probably believe we are associated with JLR with "Rover" in our web address.
If you e-mail me direct at membership@rover200.org.uk I will deal with any queries you have. As I am sure you are aware, we are all volunteers who run these clubs and we have lives outside of the club that sometimes get in the way of club activities.
Regards, Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy,
Yes, I appreciate you are volunteers with lives - sorry, didn't wish to be rude, just heaping praise on MMOC

No problem.

I can concur with that.
I used to the clubs treasurer and did the accounts for a few years until it was time for someone else to do it.
Now I'm membership secretary of the Ford Mk3 Zephyr/Zodiac club and sometimes have a lot to catch up on when away, also dealing with phone calls and general queries as I seem to have many mechanical queries as well these days. I was asked if I want to the the chairman but turned that down. We also have many bots trying to crash the site as that seems to be norm these days.

Yes, I appreciate the work involved and difficulties fitting it in
