    I remember seeing an article advertising there would be a Road.cc club for those who contributed regularly to road.cc.  Since then no further mention. Have any of you obtained that membership and if so how many posts did you have to do?

    If I’m missing out on those huge discounts off Dura Ace that Davel is getting (ha!) then yeah, but sounds like at the moment its got membership perks similar to the Beano Club but more difficult to become a member of than the Carlton – at least there you know the rules! *

    Have a Like: every little helps.

    If that pushed you over the line, you can buy me a brandy in the Raffles suite, old boy.

    So it’s the number of likes you think rather than the number of absolute posts? I guess I am going to have to be more controversial then in order to gurarentee one sides’ likes.

    Seems a shame if it is that. I post up once every other day with middle of the road helpful comments and at 300 posts would have thought I would have got across the line by now

    Guess I need to post some more sh*t a la YorkshireWallet’s gif if I want to reach the threshold, is it worth it?

    I’d like to say it’s a magical world of Dura-Ace discounts and VIP tours of blood vans, but…

    Oh yeah.. Think it’s time to follow Yorkshire Wallet’s lead in that thread..!

    As tempted as I am to go all Groucho on it, I’m still enjoying having ‘Welcome davel, road.cc member’ flashed up as I step off my Lear Jet in Bali.

    But I want to know what Kadinkski’s butler thinks of it really.

    Then it was delayed due to illness in the road.cc team and went awfully quiet after that

I never received a message or anything when membership was triggered – just tried the menu.

    I just see the article about the way membership is changing whether logged in or not … you must be one of the select few!  Had you joined up previously when it was paid membership?

    No: don’t think I completed a form either.

    Some time back they said they were basing it on some other criteria (off the top of my head: number of posts, number of likes, length of time registered?).
