[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 1968, member: 109"] [b]The VOC does continue to surprise me............[/b] I'm surprised that more than one club member appears to have forgotten what their own disposal income/bank balance looks like and it would seem have offered to enter into a binding contract to purchase without having the necessary funds to execute. If they are simply forgetful than I'm very sorry for them. If they think they are being funny or mischevious - then so might losing their membership be, strikes me the behavious is malicious. Come on then - let's have their names so we can all let them know how funny we think they are. Maybe Mr H who sold the White Shadow could put some of the cash to good use and buy the Shadow? (Oops - letting out that hot potato again) - his profit must have been £40K plus even after commission and catalogue fees. I'd be up for the raffle idea - I've bought a few from the VMCC for the Comet and I guess with a bit of hard work we'd get more than the reserve price (which was what do you reckon then?) Alternatively we could rent it out - I'd pay a decent fee for a weekend just like the specialist classic car rental clubs do. Or sell it to fractional ownership that can be passed on in your will, £1000 for a weekend on a 99 year lease might work and have tradeable value. Stuart [/QUOTE]
