Ive been trying to read between the lines to understand Derek's high handed approach to membership and the almost impossible task of joining this elite circle namely 350 Effin horses under the bonnet.
It's clear to me Peters van, although very well proportioned with all the hospitality one could hope for is a very nice van, it's not going to fit to many in comfort if any old riff raff can join.
And even Derek's Chilli can't stretch around the whole paddock.
My worry is by leaving enough room at the table for himself and a few FI nutters only or N/a persisters
as this criteria obviously spells out then I'm gonna miss out on the Chilli bigtime 
Al, clearly I don't make the rules here.... I volunteered for the job, and I've spent many hours of my own time in running the club admin...

ks but I thought I'd throw it in) It used to be that membership wasn't a hard and fast thing, it was as much about the spirit and intent as it was about the hard numbers...So, I hereby resign as (self appointed) club secretary. If you're not in Al, then I don't want to be in. Sorry Derek (Your lordship Highness Immenseness), but with much regret, I'm out...
And to all the MCC members, its been a blast guys, I'll miss you all... but sometimes a guy just has to move on....
I wish you all the very best...

I have to apologise to all that the figures I gave were the wrong ones. They were for those that could be considered for the board of directors.
The criteria for standard MCC membership is to achieve 1 of the following.
Dyno printout showing over 320 bhp
Timing ticket with terminal speed over 109
Timing ticket with ET of 12.499 or quicker.
This is very fair Derek, good decision mate..... The criteria for standard MCC membership is to achieve 1 of the following.
Dyno printout showing over 320 bhp
Timing ticket with terminal speed over 109
Timing ticket with ET of 12.499 or quicker.
Right then, now that we (our glorious leader) have established the base criteria for club membership I would not be adverse to resuming my role as (self appointed) club secretary
However, within my remit was the power to authorise the membership of certain individuals who may not of have met the base criteria for membership but who had redeeming qualities that far outweighed the simple bhp and speed measures....
If I am to resume my position of club secretary then I shall need at least three 'Ayes' from existing members...
Be it known, that in the event I am re-elected as self appointed club secretary my first action will be to make ClassicChimaera (Alun) a full club member....
What say you??

Kind regards to all,

Is there also a club for those of us who haven't modified our Chimaeras at all?
I suspect that I might be not only the founder, but also the only member!
Goatybill founded the original original club... he hates all things modified... I suspect that I might be not only the founder, but also the only member!
And just to add, Qbee started a mildly modified club, but it didn't get any members... Apart from which he's now discovered that his previously 'adequate' 300bhp isn't and has accordingly joined the dark side.... or cheats as he once called them
I soooo fancy an LS transplant...
Turbo is just so.... council....

Time to update this old thread.
Hopefully some of you who have been fitting superchargers, turbos, nitrous (dodgy derek DangerousDerek) etc can post up their graphs and details of their major modifications.
For those not familiar with this "club" - The Modified Chimaera Club - needs a minimum of 350 bhp to join. Or so his Lordship, His Highness and Driving God, Chilliwhizz, has decreed.

It was his immenseness the dangerous one that decreed 350 minimum.... although I can't disagree with the Driving God comment Iain, you are indeed a man of great observational prowess...
Not sure how we can move our esteemed club forward without the dangerous one....
