Anybody on the NSRA forum?

[fredtransit]

Sorry, we are not accepting any new Members at this time.

Would like to post that I need a couple of 1950 yanks for a film shoot, but can't join! Anybody on here a member?

That "Not accepting new members" thing seems to be a perpetual bug. You can still join as a guest.

[fredtransit]

Ah I didn't know that, can Guests post then? Whilst I have your attention, I am looking for a couple of stock yanks from about 1957. Can you think of anybody?

[fredtransit]

and how do I join as a guest? if it's not possible to sign up at all?

you can but you can only post in one thread and wait for their approval of how you live your life and weather your car and lifestyle are worthy of them if you don't own a traditional hot rod built the way they like it you have no chance of being allowed to post in any other thread . very welcoming place that i don't think

You're better off with Rods n Sods. Plenty of '50s yanks on there.

think that's why a lot of members won't be

Rods n' Sods is excellent, everything the NSRA forum could have been if they weren't such a bunch of elitist b3ll3nds. Ah well....their loss!!

[fredtransit]

I have found out more about the production. It will be shot in Lincolnshire starting 6 Sept for one week. The characters are country housewives, so I am thinking station wagons or possibly a pick up truck, though I was sent an example pic of a 2 door sporty looking car and a four door one. I am going to have to be careful not to fall into the 'LOM everything is brand new' trap.

goto the rodsnsods site they r a very nice bunch very helpfull.not like nsra

[akku]

with all this NSRA bashing I would point out that many (maybe even most) paid subscription car clubs do not allow non-members full access to their forums. The club is specifically for pre-1972 cars. Thats not elitist, thats just what the club caters for. Do you consider the Mopar Muscle Association "a bunch of elitist bastards" because they won't let you post on there about your non-Mopar car? Or the Avenger Owners Club a "bunch of etc. etc." because they won't let non-members post about their Fiestas or whatever?

Its a funny kind of "elite" when all you have to do is buy a £50 Morris Minor to be admitted...

i think people tend to judge as they find, i was a member a few years ago, thought it would be a usefull place to get help and info whilst building a pro street hb viva, what i got was of no use at all, no longer a member.........

their cut off date may be 72 but what they really mean is pre 49 and built the way they want not how you want speaking from experience from some of the people that run that site very snooty and offish if your ideas don't fit in with theirs i was a member on there but won't be going back . its a shame really as the nsra themselves are ok just the way the forum is run and a few core members

[welder]

I joined the NSRA forum mainly for the nostalgia thread. Now they're asking for info on old rods that I can answer but they won't let me. I'd love a rod but can't afford one, however if that's their attitude I don't think I'm missing much.

[Autofive]

all this nsra bashing wont solve much - it's their forum, and its not the only one with rules and restricted membership

has anyone actually managed to post a thread on the nsra forum on freds behalf?

Unfortunately that IS the NSRA's attitude, hence many people I know are giving their events the heave-ho. Including me. They'll let you post in the Classifieds, so they can buy your bits.....
;D

Great nostalgia thread on Rods n Sods. www.rodsnsods.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10
