We're getting a lot of spammers on the forums at the moment, so I'm now going to approve all new users before they are allowed to post in the forums. I'm hoping this will be a temporary measure.
Unfortunately, it will mean a bit of a delay before new users can get onto the forums, but I don't want the forums to be filled with adverts for mobile phones, so it's the lesser of two evils.
I've also added some automatic spam detection controls, which means some posts will be held back for checking before they are published. This may need some further tweaking before it works effectively, so please bear with me if there are a few problems along the way.
This may not stop the spammers completely, but I'll try to delete any spam as quickly as possible and remove the offending users.
If you spot any undesirable posts in the forums, you can help by clicking the little red warning triangle at the top right-hand corner of the post, and this will send me a message to review it. Thanks to all of the members who have been helping with this already.

» Copen Production to Cease in August 2012 |
|
Apr 21, 2012 - 10:51 AM - by copenworld
|
Daihatsu has announced that production of the Copen will cease in August 2012.
Originally unveiled as a concept at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1999, the car went into production in 2002, with around 56,000 made to date.
The occasion will be marked with the release of 500 white 10th Anniversary Limited Edition models, to be available in Japan only.
With no plans for a replacement, it ends a remarkable 10 year run for this amazing little car, which will surely become a future classic.

The site maintenance work is now complete.
Copenworld has been relocated on to new servers, and the bills have been paid for the next couple of years, so that should secure the future of the site for a while!
You may still have some intermittent problems with accessing the site while the changes propagate across the internet, but this should resolve itself within the next day or two.
If any parts of the site are not loading properly, please clear your browser cache and try again.
If the problems persist, or if you spot anything that isn't working correctly (there may well be a few broken links here and there), please let me know.

» New Copen Rumours |
|
Aug 12, 2011 - 9:25 PM - by copenworld
|
According to Auto Express, a new Copen is being developed by Daihatsu, powered by a new Toyota 900cc two-cylinder petrol engine.
How will this model compare to the current model, and will it see the Copen returning to Europe? Copenworld will track the story as it develops over the coming months.
A discussion has already started on this topic in the forums here.

» Kei Kars in the Park Annual Meet 2011 |
|
Aug 02, 2011 - 6:45 AM - by copenworld

 Head along to Kingsbury Water Park at Sutton Coldfield on September 18 for the Kei Kars in the Park Annual Meet 2011.
It should be a great day out, and an opportunity to meet up with fellow Copen owners, as well as the owners of other similar class cars. Copenworld member Adam K is the person you need to talk to, and you can find out everything you need to know on the forums here.
Let's see if we can break the record for the number of Copens attending this year!

If you're looking for something to do on a (hopefully sunny) Summer's Sunday in England, why not join Kei Cars in the Park (KKITP) at Japfest 2 on 10th July at Donington Park?
Hop over to the KKITP website for all the details. You need to book by 23rd May if you're interested, so get in quick.
Adam K is the Copen rep for KKITP, and I'm sure he'll be happy to answer any questions!

» Dealer takeover? |

Could Daihatsu dealers become Great Wall dealers?
It looks like I.M Group (the ex importers of Daihatsu) will be importing Chinese Great Wall cars according to Car Dealer Magazine. And they have been looking into it for the last 10 years!!
IM's Paul Hegarty ex-operations director for Daihatsu, and now managing director of Great Wall Motor Distributors (UK) said
‘There is no link at all between our talks with Great Wall and the demise of Daihatsu in the UK.'

What do you think. Is it a stitch-up??

» Daihatsu Resumes Production in Japan |
|
Apr 14, 2011 - 8:34 PM - by copenworld
|
In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11, Daihatsu is to resume production at its plants in Osaka and Kyoto on April 18.
This will mean that all of its Japanese plants will now be back in operation, although not all will be running at full capacity as the supply of some parts is still limited.
