The Obligatory How did you find Motoring Alliance Thread

If you were only on NAM for 3 years, you didn't even see the start of the downhill slide!

Welcome to M/A, the only place left where having a MINI is still fun!

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Welcome to the addiction. A bunch of us jumped ship (good follow up to PM's post) from the Sewing Site (NAM) several years ago. The knowledge is here. Just ask and wear your thick skin, although we are harmless!

 

Yes we do!!!!

 

Well, I AM fond of donuts, and you all seem so nice.....(chokes on poison donut)

It was time for the Dragon on June 4, 2015. I hope I'm ready...starting now.

 

I found this site while doing research before buying our new mini.
'15 Mini S Convertible.

 

Enjoy your new ride and Welcome to Motoring Alliance the bestest MINI Forum on the interweb !!

 

One of my favorite distractions

It's Dan Raabe. I use my Mini. Kids to school. Me to work. It's a typical scenario. Poking around the forums is good as I've repaired/replaced worn out stuff myself and there have been times when someone has shared good insights that made me a little smarter.

 

Welcome to M/A! Glad you found your new home!

 

Welcome to Motoring Alliance !! You'll find lots of great info here on how to maintain your ride.

 

Stumbled into a NAM thread where ZippyNH wrote about this "other site". Wasn't too hard to find.

Have been a NAM member for a lot of years, since 2006. Was very active when I got my Gen1 S Cabrio. Modded it quite a bit, probably too much, at least as far as resale went. Sure was fun though through the years.

Thought I'd have that Gen1 forever, then when I started pouring money into it after 9 years (though not many miles; only 55K), I opted for comfort and went to a Gen3 JCW hardtop. Sold off lots of extras from the now departed Gen1 Mini via NAM marketplace. Still have a few pieces advertised there for sale, but the majority is gone.

As I said, I stumbled into a thread on NAM where there was bitching over the vendor policy there and then ZippyNH interjected about this joint, so I figured a guy with over 10,000 posts to NAM ought to know some stuff and here I am. Hello all.

 

Welcome. There are a bunch of the old veterans of NAM here. I personally feel MA has the deepest knowledge base and members that will provide the real answers without telling you to go search for them. We tend to give each other a hard time but it's all in fun. Good friends here.

 

Welcome to M/A! Think I remember you from NAM a long time ago.

 

I found this site through a URL written on a bathroom wall in a truck stop. I knew you all were my kind of people...
