sports850 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 What's involved in joining ($$$) and what does it get you ? Do they do some club only cars or similar or is it just an advertising deal for them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangermouse Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 DM I want to sign up as I need the Aston......... So I can put it down you introduced me if you like. clevo I don't know Dick 30 pounds works out to be about $63 so a little bit more than the -rrp in the shops - I think they send you a catalog, I am not sure how good the magazine is but I figure that is an ok price to pay for an exclusive car - I think the Aston will look great in the weathered effect. I joined last night so put me down as having introduce you Clevo - not sure what info you need I don't have a club number or anything yet. 2 more and I score the mystery gift? cheers DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvwino Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) I had joined early on the 1st January, once for myself and then again for my son as his birthday present. I gave them his email address for his membership, and listed it as a gift membership. They charged my credit card twice as expected and I got 2 sets of membership numbers by email. However, this morning I noticed they have credited back my membership (one of them) to the card, dated 12th January. I don't know whether this is because it meant 2 cars to the same address, or whether there was an oversubscription issue as early as 8am on 1st January. If you placed an order, check your credit card statement and make sure they haven't reversed/credited it back. If they credit the second one, I'll let you know - fingers crossed that's not the case. I made $1 out of it though - now what will I spend that on!?? Exchange rate improved in our favour when they reversed it.

dangermouse Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Checked the website - says I am still a World Member - did you get membership number or a confirmation of order number - I received and email saying welcome to Scalextric Club your membership has been updated. I wasn't previously a member, I had just registered on the site for email news etc. I haven't heard anything since - I would check with Scalextric why they credited it back.. cheers DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have refunded my card for one of them. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that 2 cars arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Club membership and magazine arrived this week, hopefully the car won't be far away... The magazine is good about 20 pages - had a good article on setting up cars for non mag and some nice photos - also included a catalogue which is good - will keep that in good condition might become collectable one day - and a nice membership card with a photo of the Aston Martin on it... so if you are planning on joining - send me a PM or reply here - you can quote me as having introduced you and if I get 3 people I get a mystery gift.... cheers DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Car arrived today - I am sure some of you have seen photos on other forums but I will post a couple for you anyway because IMHO it looks fantastic... well worth the joining fee (you also get a 2009 catalog and 4 magazines.) cheers DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gref Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 hmmm I gotta wait til my membership is up for renewal til I get my car (hope they don't sell out.

SlotsofCars Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have been a member of the club for a few years now! For their 50th (the GT) I tried signing up 2 memberships (one for me and one for my son), one charge to my Visa was re-credited. I got in contact with RACER and was told that I couldn't create two memberships in the one name. I then joined John as a separate membership and it all went through perfectly. As a foot note! The other advantage of being a member is that there are cars available through the year to purchase that are only available to members. You also get quite a good discount at MRE http://www.mre.co.uk not that the dollar is very good at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
