Cleaned the megas2000 today before the downpour

@Maurici- CleaR Motorsport I echo @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO’s sentiments, sorry to hear you’re unwell and wish you a speedy recovery. I’ve instructed Stripe to refund your £53.00 club membership fee. The potential explanation of why it happened that follows may be less speedy… We had a similar problem back in 2013 (get off my lawn, kids these days, etc.) where memberships started renewing automatically one evening, which caused @ACW and I a massive 48-hour headache finding those affected, refunding those who had paid twice and shutting this feature off. Fast-forward to 2025 and history appears to be repeating itself, but sporadically. The forum software has moved on considerably and the ability to turn on or off the auto-renew feature backstage from membership packages has disappeared from the visible membership package settings some time ago, so the problem hasn’t reared it’s ugly head again until recently. Each membership package has the option to renew turned on, as you would expect, except Paid 60-Day Membership, as paying £60 per year (£10 every two months) versus £35 per year makes no sense and renewal isn’t available. After a lot of head scratching and low-level confusion, the only reason I can see that this might be happening again is that the club changed its payment portal from PayPal to Stripe at the end of 2024. That payment method has (now “had”) the option for the purchaser to retain their payment card details on their club account, ie. they could tick a “Retain card details” box at point of purchase. I’m making an assumption here that club member accounts with stored payment card details have been automatically renewing memberships on membership packages where renewals are allowed and at the point when 30-day renewal invoices are generated. Again, I can find no auto-renew settings backstage. The reason I’m assuming it’s been sporadic is that a percentage between 1% and 99% of members did not tick the box to store their payment card details, therefore there was no way the renewal payment could be automatically taken for their accounts. I have adjusted the backstage settings in Stripe to turn off the option for members to be able to store their card details against their accounts. I do not know if that will turn off the details of members who have already chosen to save their details or not - hopefully it will and the issue is now resolved. However, I request @WSCC Webmaster to conduct a sanity check on my reasoning please. I hope the reader stayed awake through this explanation, which is as simple but complete as I could make it.

Will do that tomorrow 👍

Thank you for clearing that up Nick

So sorry to hear you’re not well Maurici. I do hope you are feeling better soon. I did have a very quick Look backstage last night before bed, as I remembered the auto renew that Scott was talking about from way back. Equally though, I couldn’t find any setting for it anymore, and nothing on our end suggesting an auto renew. I did wonder if it was something set up at the Stripe and of the portal. But just turning off the stored cards feature will hopefully sort it out, too.

There is a Bristol and Bath WhatsApp group, some of the members live in Wiltshire, some in South Wales too. Unfortunately we have no AO atm.

@Captain Colonial is this something you can help with, please? @Maurici- CleaR Motorsport Sorry to hear about the health issues. Here's wishing you a full and speedy recovery!

Hi Dave. I'm not sure if you are on the map I thought I had sent messages to anyone who wasn't SORN. It's a shame it isn't up to date but up to members to put their location on there if they want. Once things get a bit more sorted out it might be worth using What's App which might suit some people if they don't use Facebook. To be honest I'd rather not use Facebook but people use it more as it's free. I can't remember how much of this forum can be seen by non members. Your profile says you are in West Wiltshire so the meeting is still quite a way for you. I did see that there are still people active on the Cotswold group but there is no area organiser on here.

Ill come and get involved to see what the megas2000 has to offer

Hi, is there still availability for Curborough on the 19th ? kevin

I’ve been a Westfield fan for very many years having gone to the factory very many years ago with my brother in law to collect his pre litigation 7 kit. I’ve watched the car being built and over the years morphing into a track orientated vehicle. Over a few beers on the weekend the potential sale of the weapon was muted so I thought why not buy it and then decide what to do with it. Offer accepted and it looks like I’ll soon be a Westfield owner hoping that many on here will be able to assist in my plans for it.

Heading down Countisbury Hill into Lynmouth on a fab day out with the Dorset, Devon & Somerset mob. Thirteen cars and a bike, plus some great weather. Spectacular views coming down the hill, though best not to lose concentration due to the lack of fence and sheer drop! 😱🤣

Both my cars, Prior to this I absolutely got caught out in Sundays downpour properly drenched, One might say a proper welcome to open top cars haha

Hello, from another toyboy Mega S2000. The link is just taking me to a Facebook page I cannot view. Any pics for us none Facebook folks 😆 Kicking off the Toybox striped red variety

Not snap, but four new tyres for me today. Rainsport 5s for my 15” wheels to give me a winter option aside from the 13” R888Rs.
