I would have thought people who are interested can find this place on their own... Personally, I hate people "littering" under my wipers for any reason and it would be enough to have put me off joining if that was the way I was introduced to the forum.

I am probably just a miserable git though.

Fortunately I've met other Zed owners that are enthusiasts and keen to talk and share their enthusiasm for the Zed

And then, yep, there are miserable gits :lol:

I appreciated the Lotus 7 guy giving me his contact card and inviting me on a run if I was ever in the area. Steph and me put together runs based around Newcastle for Zed owners and I think not every Zed owner will know and some may want to join us - if they're interested then I can hand over a card.

If they're not interested then we'll leave them alone - I can quickly tell who the miserable gits are - it's kind of obvious. . . . . . :P :lol:

before joining this site i had never heard of a forum, so i would have appreciated somebody telling me about it

personally i have spoken to a few people and mentioned the forum, i have never had people looking at me i though i was a nutter, i'm sure the people i have spoken to would have appreciated me giving them a card, its easier than trying to remember the web title

Maybe I was unlucky. :(

I found most sports car owners are enthusiastic about cars and are quite nice people. Others are just arseholes with money and like shiny things. Get me some cards and I will try my luck again.

Ok here's my opinion !
Having spent over 24 years in marketing the cards are a great idea !
If we get 1 new member from every 100 cards that's a result !
Any idea that increases profile and membership is good marketing - I would quite happily have some to put on windscreen wipers - maybe have a "I got a card" section on the forum where new members would feel "welcome" by having a card from an existing member ? Just a thought

That's a good idea.... But also more to the point will give us an idea of how many people have registered because of the cards, and if they are actually affective.
