OK Steve,
an added suggestion would be to have a simple notice right on (or one click from) the front page that says click here for member benefits.
Registration is free - just register here and you'll get full access to our forums and the wealth of experience from the UK's oldest Z/ZX Car Club.
(tell people what they can / can't post to)
But if you're seriously interested in Zeds and ZXs, you should joing the club itself. For just £x or £y for family membership you'll get full access to this site and forum and in addition
full colour quarterly magazine
insurance scheme
listing on the club register
etc
etc
etc
(I forget because it was a long time ago I joined!<img src="http://www.zclub.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

This all started because I wanted to tell a few mates about this site but couldn't remember what they got access to for free and what would cost them money.
Oh and just while I'm on it, why not make up a few window stickers which have www.zclub.net on them. They could be free to paid up clubmembers who register for this forum - hopefully encouraging them to sign up!
Cheers - Gio
