So do you think that we should have ignored this chaps question and told him, however politely, to 'f 'off. I, for one, am not going to start asking whether people are club member or not and if a non member wants to buy a new steering head, for example, he will have to pay the same price as club members. The Spares Company, on the other hand, are a commercial enterprise, partially owned by the club or club members, and they do differentiate, That might encourage some people to join the VOC but we have enough restrictions on our private lives, and I don't mean just now, that I do not wish to add to our invasive or questioning society. If the chap can find someone to pay an inflated price then more fool them and perhaps they will learn to appreciate a Vincent for what it is, not an investment opportunity.
