Well it's up for review really.

I had a bit of a purge of the forums that don't get used much. Are there any HSV sites in the UK that would benefit from sharing the forum? I don't like having idle forums and would like to inject some life into it.

Ted, appreciate your concern.If you want to inject a bit of life into the forum,how about ringing up Mark at LSV, blagging a couple of test drives and doing a review on them?

The trouble is Ted, that there's probably only 100 or so HSV's in the country so it's never going to be a busy forum like the TVR ones but we are trying to spread the word. However there's no-one slagging each other on it,it's just genuine interest in the cars and isn't that what this site was once all about? Personally I'm very dissapointed, especially as it was removed during a live thread and it's the second time it's happened. I'd much rather have a quiet forum than one full of psuedo hard men saying things in other forums that they'd never dream of saying to a strangers face.

If it's down to the forum being a bit quiet, the Marcos forum has had one post since the middle of August, and it's still there. Starting to look a bit like favourtism to me. The other HSV guys probably won't be able to complain because they won't know where to look!, and they'll just dissapear.
I've been on to Mark at LSV an he his happy for you to test and review the HSVs/LSVs, so I've even blagged you a bit of fun!
Anyway at least have the decency to reply to this one eh?

Sorry for not having the 'decency' to reply. I have a few things to juggle you know

I've reinstated the forum and thank you for the help with the blagging.

Is there an HSV club in the UK? Do they have a website?

Ted, many many thanks and I'm sorry if t he"decency" bit sounded a bit sarcastic! No there isn't a UKHSV owners club, which makes our little forum even more valuable,to owners and moreso potential owners. I know there's a couple of people who have bought them after their first enquiry has been on here. Hope you enjoy the drive when you have it and get Mark to buy you a pie and stick it on my next service bill.

I'll also have a think about raising the profile of the forum a bit...
