Well I can see the point of not having a parts cross-ref. List on the
web page, but I think if you own a Bricklin you would want to be a part
of the club. The only reason I have not joined is because I do not own a
bricklin yet.. (Soon my friends.. Soon..) But I can't see just because
it is on the web page they would not join the club. Also The parts
cross-ref is really intresting for people who are just "surfing the web"
and have heard about the Bricklin. They might find it informitive to see
what the car was put together with.. Or something along that line.. Well
Take care.. :)
