According to the creator of the new Accord Owners Club, the aim is to provide a unique source of information and communication for Accord owners.

A bit from the site owner :

AOC is run by people who are lifelong Honda owners who would never consider owning anything else. We appreciate the history and quality of Honda, and are proud and passionate about the company, its products and the fact that it puts the best within the financial reach of all.

Hondas are very special. Look at any reputable reliability index the past and the track record speaks for itself. The Accord Owners Club has been created so we can help each other with our Honda Accords. Club members join to inform, to learn, and to co-operate, in a mature, sensible and respectful way.

We respect the key Honda philosophies such as striving for quality, continuous improvement, and when something goes wrong calmly finding a solution instead of laying blame.

We have formed this Club to share our passion for Honda and its philosophies. We are here to help you, and to help you help others. The Club is not just a forum, it is far more than that. Come on in and explore the world of Honda through the AOC’s forum, Wiki, members’ blogs, YouTube, Twitter, and Apple and Android apps.

If you want to give something back in return, post your ownership knowledge and experience, to assist others. Honda is the fulfilment of a dream. So too is this forum. We wish you a very warm welcome and hope our enthusiasm rub off on you.

Santa Pod, the home of European drag racing has literally just saved Christmas for petrolheads everywhere, with their seasonally cheering ticket offers and superbly stocked online ‘Pod Shop. So rather than see the disappointed look of your loved ones this Christmas, when opening yet another pair of socks, why not get them something they actually want this year?

An extensive range of men, women and children’s clothing gives you that ‘paddock ready’ look for Christmas day. With a simply massive range of T-shirts, jackets, fleeces and tops to choose from, plus a stunning range of hats and gloves, they can show their love for Europe’s coolest quarter-mile venue as well as receiving an item of clothing that they will be prepared to wear long after Grandma has been carted away…

The models and collectibles section offers something for kids of all ages, whether you’re looking for a perfectly scaled model Top-Fueller for Dad, or a robust Monster truck for junior. Bikes, Hot-rods and VW models and miniatures are all here, for the avid hardcore collector, right down to ‘three-and-up’ toy cars.

If you can’t face the thought of ‘The Sound Of Music’ for the 54th time, why not pop on one of the Pod’s eclectic selection of DVDs? This year’s Season Review will make for a pleasant hour or so. Turn it up loud and get rid of unwanted relatives at the same time!

Even stocking fillers are covered with just about everything from badges, key-rings and stationery, through to soft toys, bags and clocks being available, with exclusive Santa Pod designs, at prices starting from one pound!

If you still can’t decide what to get, why not give them something that they’ll really enjoy? Advance tickets to ANY of Santa Pod’s 2012 shows. With all of the Pod’s show content aimed squarely at a good old-fashioned family day out, why not get a few and take the whole clan out for the day? Better still, get a weekend ticket, (where appropriate) and avail yourselves of the free camping and superb atmosphere on site.

So take it from us, don’t settle for tangerines, walnuts or a petrol station CD this Christmas.. Drop decidedly unsubtle hints and get something that you actually want to open this year.
