    I was wondering if anyone else thinks it may be considered rude of new members joining the MA not to at least pop in and introduce themselves before going straight to threads and posting? I am referring to not the absolute newbies to forums but known members of other forums that join up and think they are so well known to all that they don't need to be polite and say hi here at the "The Starting Line"?

    Thoughts opinions?

    You're expecting "polite" or "rule following" on the internet? :shocked:

    thumbs up on taking your MINI forum passions private, Nathan. I went that route years back on my illustration site's message board after using a freehost in my case, and not liking not having control over what some other entity might be doing with my data. My board has been free, open and privately owned ever since.

    Glad I found this board!

    Nope

    I have absolutely no problem with people jumping into the deep end as thier first posts. I don't often read the treads about "hi I'm new here" or the like. But that's just me, others may feel differently....

    Thanks, MetalMan. I see you are in Columbus...I get serviced at MAG, from time to time. I used to do the breakfast gatherings at Tim Horton's in New Albany, but kinda wore out my welcome...lol...so I just stay put now, go to MOTD, or HPDEs with Buckeye BMWCCA.

    Ya i know i am crazy :crazy: too or my children and Girlfriend :incazzato: think i am. I am 55 and want my dream car before i die.

    So if anyone See's a Torred SRT8 heading for VA FRIDAY running just a little FAST SOMETHING UNDER 176.4 MPH (COMPUTER SHUTS OFF THERE.)cRAZY guy going after Mini.

    Goggle says will take $101 dollars of gas to get there and 48 to get home.

    Sunday will see little blue flash coming from VA headed back to Illinois Sunday just wave at the new big smiling MINI owner.

    Anyone live out around Richman VA I hear they have FLOODING. little worried about that going to pick up my NEW Mini.

    Newbe, rud sorry

    SORRY I did not find the right place to do an introduction still learning this site, definitely defrant than any set up other sites i go to.

    I will throw this out now hope to find the right place later.

    I am 55 yr old retired and disabled person have just put a depsit on a new Clubman JCW LASER BLUE. I hope to read learn from all the nice folks here.

    I also have participated on couple sites they argue far to much about small infractions poor writing skills. I hope this site runs loosely friendly as we all love our little Mini's.

    Welcome Jeff (aka Welshman). Glad to see you've finally made it over here. No worn out welcome at breakfast, we've missed having you there. Make that drive over from Pigway this month.

    Welcome to M/A and good for you. I think you are reading for Richmond, VA, so be sure to double check your map. :D\

    Lots of rain of late, raining now and they are calling for it through Thursday, so take your water wings with you. :Thumbsup:

    Welcome to M/A, Wildcard.

    You sound like some kind of "Wild and Crazy Guy", in a good way.

    Good luck with your JCW, really fun MINI's. Don't get any speeding tickets.

    Oh, and watch out for the JCW torque steer. If you aren't careful, it'll bite you back.

    Welcome Jeff! I thought for sure that you would have done the MTTS route to Indy.

    I just realized that I never posted an intro when I joined up, just went straight to the Mid-Ohio forum. My name is Brian, I live outside of Columbus, and I have a '06 PH/S Cooper S.
