Does anyone belong to the Radical Owners Club? £50 seems a lot to join! Wondered if it was worth it, thanks.

Hi All

Yes, the ROC website has been a bit quiet for a while now, which is why we are working on the relaunch of a new and significantly revised version as soon as possible, say end of year latest. The new website will be much accessible and more linked into things like social media and notwithstanding that virtually every Radical and Part that has been advertised in Classifieds has sold via ROC, the cost of classifieds will likely be reduced. I think it is also likely that the membership fee itself will either be reduced and perhaps even removed completely providing we can find an effective way of avoiding the tyre kickers and time wasters joining in!

In terms of the current membership fee, which is to some extent a hangover from when we were much more active on the trackday-side, I would like to point out that unlike most parties involved with Radicals, we do not make any profit whatsoever from running ROC and it's website; it remains very much a labour of love at a large cost (£s, time and effort) to ourselves, solely inspired by our own enjoyment of owning and running a number of Radicals over the years, both in terms of trackdaying and more recently racing.

If both posters above would like to pm me, I will do my best to sort both you out.

Thanks for reply.. just got into Radicals and to be honest not much sites/forums very active for Radicals . Lets hope ur efforts succeed for revamp .. and hopefully some sponsors etc can contribute toward running costs . Just was shocked to find £50 to join a car forum !! look forward to 2018 G

Hi, I am a member of ROC and although admittedly the forum is pretty quite, I have found it quite helpful on finding things about my car (SR3 SL). As you can imagine apart from Radical itself not very many garages are interested at looking at this car.
Basically if you start a conversation there it will get replies....might take a few days though. Gareth
