Warren,

I am not sure who you want to meet here on the net. The club presidents 
or just the members? If you want to meet the members of local British car 
clubs then you're fine here. Actually this is rather working out like a 
club itself, too. 
There's a lot of interesting conversations going on. Deep thoughts are 
exchanged and some technical knowledge and experience is exchanged with a 
high accuracy because you don't have to respond in a fraction of a second 
as it would be in a personal communication. You can look up data and 
addresses without having to say something like " Er, I think there was 
something - I'll look it up and call you tomorrow or we'll meet next 
month again." That has some pros and cons of course, but the quality should 
be pretty high.
The disadvantages are pretty obvious too. There are no real hands on 
activities. There's nothing like saying:" Wait I'll fire up the engine 
and you'll see and hear what happens". One can't say some explaining 
words and make some points clear avoiding a misunderstanding.
I must say that it is a pretty neat feeling when you're about to meet 
somebody you only know in a pen pal fashion! I had a lot of fun meeting 
people from the SOLers list! Very nice people.

Cheers,
        Gus
