"My problem with this idea is that it will kill the owners clubs."
Why?
There is a Ford owners club and a Vauxhall club each survive and attend shows even thought there are a lot more model specific clubs for these manufactures, and most of these clubs attend in there own right. They even have there own shows.

Boo and Clubcento are much smaller in comparison to most other owner's clubs, there isn't the support to copy what Ford and Vauxhall owner's do.
Say we have a FF stand at next year's Donny show and we get 15 cars from her attending. Say for some reason Boo and Clubcento don't have a stand that year but plan to the year after.
So, the year after, will the FF stand go ahead due to the support it had previously, even with Boo and Clubcento there?

I rarely pop my head out of the Uno section TBH. I'm too slow at typing to keep up.
You have some very good point Pete, which I missed first time round. (goes to look).

sounds like globalization to me all the little independents being swallowed up…. I don’t like the sound of that one bit –steve1219 said:

Fair comments but surely FF covers alot more types of car than the 2 continually mentioned so could put up a stand even if the other 2 clubs put one up to.
And if the idea of recruiting works all sections of the fiat community will benefit and having a small member base will be a thing of the past.

The two I mention are the two that opposed the idea the last time. The mk2 Puntos and Coupes etc. don't have much presence in here.
You've missed the points raised though - what about competition for boo and Clubbcento at the events? any answers to the questions I put earlier?
Looking at this from the clubs vs FF point of view - has anyone thought that something such as this could actually be an asset? Example: some car show in 2006, due to problems, Boo and Clubcento can only find four decent cars each for their stands, when ten cars are needed, a Fiatforum stand means that either a. organisers of a FF stand can send some Cento's and Brava/os across and fill them up or b. if there still aren't enough cars, a combined stand can be run under the FF banner with individual sections for the owners clubs.Though I do still think that it's perfectly possible the fill up a stand with a couple of Stilos, couple of Coupes, couple of Puntos, couple of Unos and a couple of Pandas and that leaves no space for any classic Fiats
i suppose stand space will always depends on what type of show you displaying at
your idea sounds fine helz, but you not allowing centos and bravo/s on the ff stand, an idea of a stand to me is to show the best of the bunch
this arguement can go on for ages, best to ask ben, seeing as he would be giving the final decision on anything

whos ben
What I'm saying Gaz is that if there were no Centos or Brava/os left over after the owners clubs had filled their stands, it would be possible to fill a stand easily with some decent cars and therefore without treading on anyone's toes. I also think owners of Stilo Abaraths and Coupe 2l 20vt cars would be disappointed to hear you didn't consider their cars to be best of the bunch!

This is why I cannot understand the reluctance to a stand
Steve
i was trying to find a sutiable word for best the forum has to offer, maybe i worded it wrong, the whole range of fiats, not just specific models, i miread your comment and assumed centos bravo/s where not allowed on the ff stand
OP

i think some people have totally missed the purpose of this....
the end of the days it the individuals choice so why not give them the choice?

Why would the FF stand be in competition with the clubs? FF isn't a club, and if anyone wanted to know about clubs then surely anyone on the FF stand would point them towards the relevant clubs' stands.
i think some have sammi we r not trying to poach member from clubs so wot they so scarred about maybe they are afraid to have the k there may clubs out there but there are some on forum where no clubs exisist the ones doing most complaining are in clubs already FF is not a club the Panda Coop etc owners want a voice too and something to belong too like FF this is a gr8 idea and can be worked out easily without alienating anyone
None of the questions I've posed in either of these threads have been addressed - if it's so easy to sort out then lets get them answered, shall we?
