Scam - beware

by parthiban, 02-02-2019, 08:29 AM

Not sure if people are aware of this but thought I'd bring it up just in case as it's one you could get sucked into if not paying attention.

Parents got a call yesterday from someone claiming to be from a fraud investigation team at Barclays saying that 4 of their credit cards had been used fraudulently at Argos and Selfridges (and even knew the banks the credit cards were from, although perhaps info not that hard to get hold of).

He said the cards had been blocked and he was going to send a courier to pick the cards up - luckily my mum rang me while my dad was on the phone to him and this rang serious alarm bells with me so I told them to stop talking to him and don't give him any info.

Then told them to call all the banks and none of them had any idea of any fraudulent activity and the cards are not blocked, and a quick google of the guys name (Peter Mackelwealth) proved that this is an ongoing scam.

Bit angry about the whole thing as I can't imagine how many could easily get scammed, does anyone know who this sort of thing should be reported to? All the banks have been informed, and we rang our local police station to report it too but they didn't seem particularly interested.

Club Dear Friend Passed away

by Lexusboy, 01-02-2019, 04:48 AM

Sad News
Our Dear Friend Johnboy passed away on 25 Feb 2011 after fighting a long illness.
John lived in Harlow with his wife and was a car fan from a small child but he loved his Lexus Brand.
John went on to become the club meets rep on LOC and this was the place most of his friends got to see him.


Johnboy was more than just a member of this and other car clubs he was the backbone of many a club meet and will be sadly missed by everyone that knew him.

John was a great guy that never judge anyone and always put time a side for his friends.

I would like this Year JAE to be in honour of Johnboy as he love to be at this event more than any where else and I would encourage every member to raise a glass to him.

Our thought go out to John family and friends.


RIP my old friend

Performance driver training

Performance car Driver Training Day

This is advertised on another Forum and thought some members on here might be interested :thumbup:

How many of you love to drive your cars, but find that your just not confident of the car or your ability's. so you find your self holding back.
I know i do!

How would you like to be included in a fun filled day, where experience doesn't matter, from a new owner, to a seasoned V8 Driver, To be taught in a nice friendly environment, how to push your car to its limits, and past them if you wish.

Even better it will all take place in the confines of an old airfield,(North-wield at Harlow) where they are very used to having car events going on.
( There are miles of run off, so not much to hit either, so quite safe, as much as any motor sport can be)

We have an offer from a very experienced High performance driver training company to be able to offer us a very exciting day, tackling Steering and high speed bends, under steering and over steering and how to correct them, with a bit of drifting thrown in for good measure.

Following on will be brake training exercises, which will include controlling the car through tight bends, using brakes,car weight and balance to keep control.

We will break for a nice Sunday roast in a local pub (Carvery and desert included in the price, but not drinks) for a hour or so, and then return to the venue, where there will be 2 practice circuits set up using soft cones to spend the afternoon practicing what we have learnt...and to learn even more.
The afternoon will not have so much structure as the morning, so individual requests can be accommodated, and either of the 2 circuits can be used.

You will finish this event, being much more confident of what you and your car can do, and having increased your driving ability, whilst having a blast, and it will even be on a Sunday too!

This Exciting Event is strictly limited to a max of 25 cars, and will be on a first come first served basis, and will cost some where around £70 for 1 car and 1 driver for the day if fully subscribed.

If you want to bring a passenger, no probs, but there will be a extra charge for their Sunday roast.

Sun 15th May, we will have 14 Mustangs there and need another 11 cars to fill the booking

Please post your name if your interested..

Renault 5 Turbo

by James S, 30-01-2019, 06:47 PM

Couple of pics of my mates R5 turbo. Forged internals, most of the work done himself. Its not asthetically pleasing on the eye, but my god does it go quickly. Running 220bhp when I went out in it this weekend on reduced boost while he sorts a sensor problem. LOL!
very quick before its even hit boost.
Anyway, not jap, but certainly good fun!





What do you think???
