VINDI-OWNERS/ “VINDICATOR OWNERS' CLUB” NEWS

In the meantime, ring John on 07703 289833 for the latest info., or see EVENTS IN BRIEF.
VINDI-OWNERS' Midlands chat night v Saturday meetings
Following discussions with Vindi-owners over the last few months, it is proposed that at least during the winter months, Owners’ get-togethers in the Midlands are focused around events such as Factory Open Days and Roadshows.
These are daytime on Saturdays (see EVENTS IN BRIEF above for dates and times) and are already being regularly attended by Owners anyway. The same applies to Vindicator’s own Track Days that happen mid-week most months from March to Dec.
Please give John a ring (07703 289833) if you find Saturdays awkward or would like to see a Midlands chat night reintroduced.
Do you need help with your project,
whether it’s a Vindi or another make?
as John says, “what’s the limit of your imagination?”
