Its not just "pay £5 to read that part of the forum", if you pay and join te club you can get discounts of tonnes of clio stuff, be it performance parts, styling, bits and bobs everywhere! As well as going on Official ClioSport holidays like the Nurburgring trip at the end of March, plus get on the Official club stand at the French Car Show or at Traxx.
Being part of the club is much more than just using the forum. Afterall - whats a fiver when your want or need to buy something for you car?
