I will have to be very harsh with my opinion on this but here goes.
NISOC was something very good and was continuing to grow on a monthly basis. Out of the 50-75 members sadly only a few were very passionate about actually doing something, like events,motorsport, aid in man power to hold events, fund raisers,drag,rallies,drift, dex etc
I never quite understood what is the point of having a club and just holding gatherings in a car park to eat pizza or watch under someone's bonnet for an entire night. Sadly,people actually just wanted to do just that and say that they were in a Nissan Club.
Also ppl who claimed to so love and want to help NISOC had other motives,wanting to see the club fall flat on it's face and am sure some of them will see read this shortly.
The immaturity, lack of vision, "Gunta" behaviour, cheap bastards, opportunist, website bashing and a list of many other things just lead me to the point of frustration and realizing you cannot please everyone and some ppl cannot see beyond a car park lime.
How can a club function without funding, especially a non profit organization? so we tried to hold events, "TRY" i can't express enough how much we tried to collect a mingy 30.00 tt a month to continue to function, but that itself was a problem. People will come to meetings just to drink and eat whatever they could and still quarrel about why they need to give a contribution and when NISOC held an event or needed some support they claim to be very busy or working on that day.
Anyways the fact of the matter is NISOC has always been surviving within my heart and a few. the hardcore nissan owners i knew from ever since who still meet up and go driving all over Trinidad, fix cars in a private garage, lend some support, man like Jerry who always doing electrical in my car and digging up in a RB we keep to ourselves do what we always had a passion for.
So my questions are:
1.Why bring back NISOC?
2.What will change the attitude of people who cannot see beyond?
3.Why should i waste my precious time on a already busy schedule on people who are so negative and cannot lend 1 day of the week to attend a meeting.
4.Who is going to step up?
5.How to stop men from insulting other members , even women in the club?
Hear what, You can't. example look at our Track facilities, is that even a track? It boils down to the mentality of people in this country who cannot see the bigger picture or can understand the positive side of anything. We claim to love motorsport so much, all the money this country has and no one can pave a quarter of a mile for ppl to race on as yet. Carry on with this topic people.
With much harsh love and frustration re thinking the past here.
