after taking up Entwood's advice on how to get a trade card from

http://www.autobahnstormers.org

You cannot beat that, and now I would strongly recommend them to anyone! :y :y

Yes, I rather expect that to be the case, but it seems we have to just quote to the dealer the details given in the letter :y   Only 400 dealers are registered however, so do you think that covers most of the 'big boys'? :-?

when i spoke to the bloke at vaux he said a lot of the trade cards are owned by clubs and magazines and its at the dealers discretion. but they will give you the trade prices. if not ring him and he will sort it out for you

top folks at AS, and with an increasing omega presence in their mag and membership never a better time to join

ABS is an example of how to run a club properly.
They are very very good, and while their knowledge of the Omega is not as comprehensive as ours  ;) , they know pretty much everything about all the other 6 cylinder Vauxhalls.

For anyone wanting a trade club card, there is no better choice!

AS meet on the third sunday of each month at South Mimms servivces and are always open to newcomers turning up for a lunch time coffee. while the trade card is probably the main reason many are joining atm i would recommend taking the time for members to familiarise themselves with the club and their mag.

Agreed, if people were to join just for the card, they would miss out on all the other things the club offer.

Very friendly and welcoming. :)

Agree with all of the above. Have just received my renewal within days and cheque not out yet. Only wish i could get access to 'the price list' as ABS admin is not aware of it.

PM me your TC number and ABS number (both on the card) ;)

As it happens, the online price list is STILL down, but at least you'll have access when it comes back online.

You don't have to Jay; fill in the Standing Order form and you don't have to send any money :y   £20 will then be extracted from your bank account within 7 days, and annually from then on until you decide different! :y

why no TC on OOF ?

Because we would have to jump through far too many hoops and change the whole setup of OOF to just try and gain membership of the VBOA thaty would then (eventually) lead to getting TC membership.

Basically we would have to become a club and start charging membership. This will not happen as set up OOF as something to provide help and information to everyone.

Got a load of stuff from my local stealers on Saturday using TC - no probs.  My stealer says Autobahnstormers not popular with stealers because either a load of parts etc bought on one TC card for subsequent resale for profit or TCs loaned out to non TC holders. This is their experience & these r their comments not mine!

Are these cards for use only in Vx garages, or do other motor factors accept them as well?
