Yes it is utter BS! Why list it after the event? I think it is like a lot of other things here; the HiSo's that can afford the cars have their own liitle clique and it is not run to show them off to the peasants, just to brag to each other. I have tried for years to join several clubs and just get ignored.

They don't want loads of people turning up with 1960's Datsun pickups! (Which is a pity, because I wouldn't mind one.)

It was advertised on their FB page but remember it was a Thai event, they had no interest in Farangs attending. Just like so many events here.
