[QUOTE="TouringGodet, post: 21406, member: 27"] I most certainly can't speak for the VOC, but I would guess that the volunteers that are already offering enough of their spare time taking care of their club duties don't need more responsibilities. For any organization to be involved in coordinating the swaps, I can just imagine blame/pressure/legal action directed toward them when one party returns to their home and they feel the place has been left in poor condition or the car now makes a funny noise or some hard to get Vincent part is missing from the garage. Just my opinion, but I would be very surprised if the VOC wanted to be a part of that. Hospitality between Vin owners is legendary, and I have been both fortunate enough to be invited to stay at a fellow owners house, and also offer accommodation to others, mostly the parties involved knew each other fairly well, sometimes not. You've made your willingness to swap known here, MPH would be a good place to do that as well. That should be a good start, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it has happened already in the past, or that it starts to happen more often. The club does not need to officially start a new service to help their members be hospitable, just by merely existing, the VOC promotes hospitality. Leave it informal, and let the members work it out on their own. [/QUOTE]
