Out of interest, could we not contact Vauxhall, Halfords etc and see if they would allow us to get/issue Trade cards?. I mean we are heading for 500 members by Xmas.  Do they have special trade requirements?. The fact I am going to have to buy cambelt/tensioner/Oil/filter etc in the near future, is entirely conicidental!. I used to get a discount from Leicester Vauxhall, mainly because I kept buying lots of bits there, and got to know one chap well.
I used to be indecisive; now I'm not so sure...

To get Vx Trade Club status means jumping through a number of hoops. One of those is that we have to become a club and charge members a fee...

AFAIK the front pipes on Police spec were heavier guage and (possibly) double skinned, in case the beastie grounded or skelped a kerb or similar.  Apart from that, no difference.    :-/
