From nobbc at sonic.net Mon May 7 12:01:42 2007 From: nobbc at sonic.net (Ron Engelhardt) Date: Mon, 07 May 2007 11:01:42 -0700 Subject: [Nobbc] Nobbc news Message-ID: <463F6986.1000102@sonic.net> Many of you are familiar with the British car email lists provided by autox.team.net. I have been a long time subscriber to the MGs list as are several other members and I'm sure there are club subscribers to one or another of the other lists. The folks at team.net have kindly agreed to host a list for our club. What this means for club members is the ability to contact every other member directly by email simply by sending an email to the list address nobbc at autox.team.net. Your email will be resent to all other members. This will enable all members to have two way contact with all other members. For instance, if you needed a part, an email could be sent asking if another member had one available or if you wanted to lead an alfresco ride, an email could be sent asking if anyone wanted to join you. One of the biggest problems the club has had up to this is the inability of members to contact one another easily, this should be the solution. The email list is an opt-in list. You must subscribe to join. The club page can be found at: http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/nobbc You will be able to join at this address. The list is a text based list so the emails will be small. HTML coding will be stripped out and most attachments will be discarded. I think I have it set up to not strip out jpg pictures but be mindful of the fact that some members are on dial-up and make sure any pictures sent are compressed as small as possible. As to email volume, the MGs list is a worldwide list and generates 30-40 emails on a good day. Our 115 member club should generate a tiny fraction of that number. I would suggest getting a free email account for club email if you don't want to mix them with your regular email. I can send gmail invites if requested. The club emails should come with Nobbc on the subject line to enable mail filtering. I urge you to all subscribe now so we can move our club up to the next level of communication. Our next ride will be next Saturday the 12th starting at Noon in the commuter lot just west of 101 on River Rd. (PG&E substation). Any destination suggestions are welcome but if it's warm a trip to the coast may be in order. The club has been invited back to the Oakmont Show on May 19th. I believe its from 10 til Noon. We will meet at 9:30 at Lawson's corners to travel over together. Lawson's Corners is on Hwy 12 at the second intesection of Melita Rd. It is the last light before Oakmont. The organizer would like some idea of how many of us will be attending so contact Bob Rienecker at 537 0325. Our premier "local" show will be the following day (20th) at Dixon. There will be an informal gathering of club members attending in the center aisle at noon. Steve Lehmann (co-founder) will be visiting from Colorado and plans on attending so if you would like to see him or throw rocks at him, this is the time to do it. Greg Tatarian would like club members to be aware of a move by the State legislature (AB616) to once again tighten up smog regulations in an attempt to drive older cars off the road. This will affect many of our "newer" British cars so you may want to contact your State representatives. See you Saturday!

You missed a good ride, weather was not too hot, not too cold, just right. You also missed the other Lotus owner as he was on the ride. We discussed the fact that you are always missing each other. He was driving the Elan this time so it would have been great to have had two of them there. Anybody going to the Oakmont show on Saturday besides me? I know Dixon is Sunday but this is a close by, short show...well worth attending.

I don't recognize a couple of the names - it would be great to know what everyone is driving (and fixing). We've got an Alfa Romeo GTV that my wife and I have driven on one NOBBC drive (horrors!) when the other two Brit cars were down - I'm currently restoring that. Our Brit cars are a 1974 TR6 and a 1971 Lotus Elan. We're going to try to make the next weekend, and for sure Dixon. Does anyone want to meet up somewhere during the day, say noon? Looks like the next two months will be busy with classic car opportunities - don't forget the national MGB association meet coming in July, too. I think we're all invited, even if we don't have MGBs... Oh, yes - I'm also considering hosting another tech session. Any interest? First one was rebuilding Strombergs. I could do something on welding/sheet metal work (Alfa as example), carb tuning, or?? I've added a spring compressor to my shop, so those of us with coilovers or struts that need new springs, we could pop those on. I'll be installing some new rear springs on some new Spax for the Lotus - just did the fronts. Perhaps of interest to John, the other Lotus guy who has checked in?

Steve Lehmann, club co-founder, is visiting from Colorado and will make an appearance at Dixon to say hello if anyone is interested. More tech sessions sounds like a good thing to me and we should probably discuss whether or not to return to two rides a month for the warm weather.

OK, seeing as how you're twisting my arm, I'll tell the truth. It's not entirely the Jensen's fault......I was putting the finishing touches on the twin DellOrtos, resetting the float height after solving a stalling problem, when the top of one carb literally leapt (that's mumble-mumble speech for "I dropped the damn thing") from my hands, breaking the float and worse, a float hinge pin ear. A new top and float are on order from the Mother Country and I promise to be careful.

No one from our club called him to say if they were coming so he filled all 60 of the show slots and no longer has space available for us. So cancel the Saterday ride to the show. If anyone would like to go see the show let me know and we'll make arrangements to meet somewhere and head over. Many of you still haven't joined the email list server. Those that have are starting to use it and, hopefully, finding it a useful tool. I have asked Tcherek to put the following on the web page and hope that it may help those of you who are undecided to sign up. Ron 58 MGA ************************************************************** Club members and interested persons are urged to join the Nobbc email list. Many of you are familiar with the many British car email lists hosted by Team.net. They have kindly allowed our club to have an Nobbc list. If you're not familiar with the concept of a list server, it allows you to send one email to the list and have it sent out to every list member. This allows vastly better communication with other club members to better exchange questions, ideas, ride suggestions, parts requests, etc. Club announcements will still be emailed the old way for the time being but comments and feedback can quickly be returned via the list. The list is text based so no need to worry about malware as attachments and HTML codes are stripped off before mailing. The list is an opt-in list; you must request membership (no charge!). At present the list is open to subscription by anyone who has an interest and hopefully will remain so. Only list members may see the membership list so spam will not be a problem. It should prove to be an asset to our Nobbc community. To join, go to http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/nobbc and follow the simple subscription directions. You will receive a confirmation email that you will need to respond to before becoming a member. While you are on the team.net site, I suggest checking out their other British lists. Almost every marque is represented. I have been a member of the MGs list for a long time now and have found it to be indispensable. Please join now if you haven't already done so.

I'm looking forward to Dixon, but am disappointed I have to leave early. Oh well. I look at E-Types from time to time and may take the plunge one day. We do have an older '86 Series III XJ6, which is kind of my project car. I'm taking the tranny out right now so that it can be rebuilt. It's a great car, but not of the sports car variety. See you at Dixon. Look for the gold XK8 soft top. Dan Daniel A.

A few comments for all of you. Mark Bradakus, keeper of the Autox lists has provided server space for the lists for many a year now. Members of the various lists are occasionally asked for donations when servers fail or upgrades are mad. No demands are made and no one is required to donate. Many do just because of the inherent value of the expertise that is available and the long term friendships that have formed over the years. I know it ahs been a valuable resource for me. I have donated in the past and likely will in the future. I would ask you to consider the possibilities. Server space is limited and so attachments are not possible as they take up way too much bandwidth. I am really stoked that we have been able to set up a NOBBC list on Autox. A great way to share.

The Website is paid for the next two years at least by the generous contributions of a number of our members. And, as I have said in the past I have no problem at all with paying for the site even if no one contributes. I like the looseness of our group. Very casual, very spontaneous, totally unstructured and one hell of a lot of fun. Evidently it's a winning combination, our ranks certainly aren't shrinking...are they? Seems I meet at least one new person each time I manage to get to a ride. My dance card seems always to be full, if it aint one thing it's another and still Maria and I look forward to our outings when we can manage it.

NOBBC In-Reply-To: <002b01c79c9d$51e4b4d0$ffd1e104@stevewbxu6x2qe> References: <002b01c79c9d$51e4b4d0$ffd1e104@stevewbxu6x2qe> Message-ID: <46534188.3060506@pacbell.net> Hello, For those members who are undecided about the direction the club should go in taking money for advertising, I'd like to bring up some issues that arise when a club such as this starts accepting money for advertising. I base these comments on personal experience running other clubs, and these comments are made to inform your decision or opinion only at this time. No criticisms are expressed or implied! If the club has no legal entity such as "Doing Business As" (DBA), non-profit or other status, the money must be deposited in a personal account. That is because, unlike when we pitched in to help Dean with website expenses (I spent about $60 putting on the tech session so didn't also contribute cash - sorry Dean), money coming in from an advertiser has to get stored somewhere, and that is usually one person's checking account. That has tax implications for that person, which can be ameliorated by that person (Ron?) setting up the club as his business and writing off expenses, for example, but do impose a tax liability for income on that person nonetheless. Another issue that arises is accountability for the funds - a responsibility that one may either shirk or embrace, but as a club grows, members often want to know how much is coming in, how much is going out, and for what purpose. Again, with a club of this nature, those amounts are small, and have largely been borne by a few people. If members want to expand the club, it will eventually require it to become more formalized, like with other clubs. If members wish to maintain the club as it is now, and as Steve and Dean and no doubt others would prefer, then accepting advertising money will make that more challenging. There are pros and cons to the current form of the club vs. a dues/for profit club; we have little overhead and no meetings to attend, no dues to pay. One result is that there is no funding for activities in addition to driving once or twice a month. For example, there is no newsletter to create, pay for, or for those who want one, to read. If members prefer having organized events and tech sessions, that will impose additional costs. Another example; I would be happy to host another tech session, but probably will ask people to bring food or drinks to keep my costs down. On the other hand, if the members want to stay informal, one activity we can all share costs on is meeting at a restaurant or pizzeria just to socialize, an idea I've had for some time. With about 100 members (though only a small percentage show up for drives), the club can easily go in either direction - stay informal, or become more organized. I am not aware of a club charter that provides for a way to make such decisions, or for members to share in such decisions, so can't speak to that - since this club is really the efforts of Ron and Dean, and formerly Steve, can any of you answer that question? OK - doffing my professor's cap, and donning my driving cap! Trish and I were sorry to have missed the last drive - work has been hectic. Looks like good weather is here to stay - I would love to see us return to 2x a month drives, if only so that we can make one of them! Having just come from the Dixon meet (and could not find any club members gathered at the meeting place stipulated by Ron), I was impressed by how many really nice cars are out there. If money were not a factor (you don't have to pick the most expensive), what car would you want to take home if you won it in a raffle? Have to say this time I would have picked Mike Ostrov's Lotus Elite, but there were some sweet cars there. Last item - I asked for input on tech session ideas - I've got some, but would like to hear from you.

No hassles, those that can contribute will. I've been involved with too many clubs in the past that grew to fast, and morphed into a political organization that exists to stroke a few egos. Lets avoid that and not take the first step in that direction. My $.02. Dixon was a blast as always. I left before noon, so I missed the meeting. The swap was dissapointing....no where near as large as in past years. If I could take home one car that was in the show, it'd be the 1948 Triumph (model 2000???). WOW! I've seen these before and have to keep myself from drooling on the fenders! Super nice Bugeye, which was the winner in its class from last year. If mine turns out only half as nice, I'll be pleased.

We don' need no steenlin' ads!" So when money is needed someday down the road, we'll take up another collection. The last one was remarkably successful at reimbursing Deano (Thanks Deano!) and assuring a web presence for us. To answer some of Greg's questions, this club was originally and specifically designed to have no rules, dues, or any other sort of formal structure...anarchy. Decisions were always made by members present at rides or the few actual meetings we had in the beginning. We now number about 115 and growing, so the model works. This group should provide an invaluable forum for decisions to be made as to direction and substance of the club. As always, majority rules but anyone is welcome to make suggestions. As a group we all get along quite well, I'm not sure I remember any serious arguments in the past. Greg has put forth a proposal for more tech sessions. Those of us who attended the last one will, I'm sure, want to attend more of them. Those of you that missed the last one should make an effort to attend one. I say, Go for it Greg (and anyone else who would like to share their knowledge).
