David,
I created and host this forum site. It evolved from a mail list called BEEF (Bristol Enthusiasts Email Forum) which was a break-away from an email list operated by the BOC. I won't go into the reasons why.
To my knowledge this is the only Bristol forum which is independent of a 'club', which means people don't have to pay to join a club to participate or access information on this site.
While owners 'clubs' have their place for organising social events etc, their practice of keeping information to themselves and restricting access to financial members of their club is not in the best interests of preservation of the cars.
