Technical Forum now back online!
I was pulling out what little hair I have over this. Can I apologies again for the nightmare regarding the forum going offline this week. This was caused by a number of issues which have now been resolved.

Nissan Price Increase - Boohoo
Nissan's 6 monthly price increase seems to have hit Figaro parts prices hard again. All the parts that didn't go up much in the January increase seem to have doubled, tripled and in some cases quadrupled! As an example the Chrome Hockey Sticks more than doubled in price to nearly £55! This is an awful lot of money for a very small plastic part.

We're still reminiscing about this year's annual club rally in the Yorkshire Dales. It was a lovely surprise to receive this new video dedicated to our visit to the magnificently preserved medieval fortress, Skipton Castle.

As she sun shone to welcome us to the town, 49 members in 25 Figs assembled on the arrival day of the rally for this first destination of our 4-day extravaganza. We were given a private guided tour by local vintage car club enthusiast, historian and local wit, Chris Bryant, and met the owner of the castle, Sebastian Fattorini who was duly impressed with our fine Figaros.

Enjoy our short video...

ABOUT THE CLUB 
Our Mission Statement
"To provide comprehensive advice and information to both present and future owners (in addition to having lots of fun in the process) and to ensure these wonderful cars and their providence is preserved for the next generation of owners"

How the club started
My son Daniel had always wanted a Figaro, having seen the car at our local garage when he was just 16. After saving for a number of years (plus a small contribution from his mum and dad) he brought an Emerald Green model in June 2008.

Following the purchase we scoured the internet for a members club in the hope that we could attend events with other owners, but were amazed that none existed...and so the Figaro Owners Club was born!  We decided to build a website and forum which took 6 months, and on the 1st March 2009 we pressed the 'publish button' and waited to see if anyone wanted to join. Within a week we had 10 members, a month 35 and a year 478 members.

Today the club has around 1,600 members worldwide in countries including New Zealand, Japan, Australia, USA, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden and many more.
We are grateful to you and all our other members for help and encouragement throughout our journey as the club has grown into a passion which has taken over our lives - we FIGure in a good way.
Warmest Regards
