It isn that time of year again kids. Gather round the glow of your screens and read the tale of GoMotoring. Way way way back in internet time of the 0x years of the 21st century there was a well curated source for the lasted in Mini/MINI info by the name of GoMotoring. This source was created and run by an enthusiast for the love of the brand. Things were good, the updates frequent, the feeds maintained. Then kids.... The site was sold. Why has been lost to the wind, but no matter....The purchaser...the evil Barry the Bad, he of the dark land known as MC2. Where no sentence has structure, no fact is correct and no spell, checked. Some time back in 2011, only a few scant years ago, a short time in life, yet an internet eternity this was posted on the GoMotoring site. Guess what...it's still there! The exact same text and everything. So...another year, another week of December 12th has passed. Another project by Barry the Bad that promises the sun, moon, a few stars and even the ex-planet Pluto has yet to come to fruition. Damn dude, take that carp down by now. It ain't gonna happen, let it go. That kids is all for storytime tonight. For those of you that are young...the title references...

Oh God Barry has it, we will never see all that great data again. I think it will be easier to find Jimmy Hoffa than bring that site back.
Now just wait a minute. MC2 is doing great things. I thought they had long ago gone out of business, but I have to admit I was wrong. Just yesterday I saw a copy of MC2, it was the latest issue, April 1st edition I believe. A friend brought it along to pass on to other MINI owners. Seems the MC2 rag was no use to him. His pet parrot refuses to use it as a cage liner. The parrot told him it wasn't going to poop until some good magazines were used. :wink:
I wanted to start a site called "GoMotoring", and was bummed that it was already taken. So I started a site called "Motor On." Barry is the only member.
