Online Maintenace Manuals!!! YES YES YES!!! of course I only think this because I havent spent the $$$ to buy my own set, but I would pay $40 a year (on TOP of normal membership fees) to have access to them, even if I didnt use them all the time, having them readily available, well, that would be worth a lot to A LOT of people, including myself. Stickers are a must Discounts at various stores etc Im sure would require some form of advertising, if not on the site, the newsletters/ magazines... but hey, anything is possible. If you would like I can check with my local dealership to see how they would feel about such a beast with a few SVXers in the area...

Fair dues
Randy, Larry, Beav et al.
Just to throw a spanner in the works, I feel there is an element of cart before the horse in the way the question about fees and expectations was posed. If we have a million members like the sad fools in the MG club, we can charge everybody a dollar, give them all a free transmission when it fails, and allow everyone 25 Terrabits of web space. That won't happen. My [uneducated in the value of a buck] guess is membership should be what is affordable to a good number of SVX nuts, anthing from 20 to 30 bucks seems reasonable. For that, what do I want? Membership. I expect to pay this money for the running of the totally excellent website that is the glue that holds so many people together. As a token of Membership, I would expect a windscreen sticker or an embroidered badge for my baseball cap/tshirt/wife/dog. I would expect a number of Members Only areas on the website. For me, the forums[fora?] should be open to ALL, read and post. However, non-members should not have access to the sort of technical information Larry is talking about, and should not have access to members' lockers. Non-members should also not have access to any discount schemes or deals on insurance, service, parts etc that our committee are going to negotiate. Hopefully not in zebra stripe bikinis. As I am too far away to avail of any tool exchange you may set up, I will just have to continue using my own tool. There are a few other things I have in mind would be useful, but they cost, and will require a good number of paid-up members to finance. Hence my remark on "cart before the horse" Let's get the show on the road, crawl before we walk, then look at the aspirational stuff and up the ante. Joe

In a fair play tribunal, this attitude would merit support, and be seen as reasonable justification. In an actual court of law, no matter the presumption of justification, it would be immediately deemed as infringement of intellectual property rights. For all that Subaru, or any manufacturer, could claim copyright on an image such as contained in a brochure, no lawyer or company is going to sue for dissemination of these images over a website or by fax say. This is because by publishing it, you are actually aiding the purpose for which the brochure was designed, to promote the company and the product. No judge would see otherwise. Publishing technical information produced by the company, while the company is still selling that information, is a whole new ballgame. I would urge caution here, it could turn out to be a case of "Publish, and be damned" Joe
