    I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to the folks who started the Motoring Alliance forum. This is a true MINI enthusiasts site and your dedication and enthusiasm for the car and site is greatly appreciated.

    That would be Founder....singular. A few of us helped out but Nathan is THE Founder of M/A. I'll join you though in thanking him for taking the risk and building a great site. This place is growing and evolving and I'm glad to be a part of it.

    Well done Nathan!

    Thanks everyone.

    This really is a team effort; sure, my name is on the dotted line and I pay all the bills but without the help from the staff a lot of the little things we all enjoy from the site would not be here. Equally important is you, without members providing ideas and being active we'd have nothing.

    So...Thank you for being a member.

    It's interesting...it's something most of us have wished for for a long time. I know Nathan and I started chatting about something new last summer (and before even). He had the initiative to do it however and see it through...kudos to him. :-D

    I should have figured.........

    you all would do this.

    By your own words you have commended Nathan as being the weight bearer.

    Kudos to Nathan.

    But also by your own words you have exposed yourselves for who you really are:

    MINI Enthusiasts.

    And some of you were influencers and enablers and helpers and continue to be so.

    Thank You to you as well.

    I think that's what got me discouraged :cornut: Something un-BMW trademarked and NOT corny. Somehow, M|A works great but we didn't come up with it :lol:

    Sometimes the best way to quit a certain behavior, is to go to a different location, seems to be working in this case:cool:

    I love this place and I really love the continuing push forward to provide innovative ideas to the forums. It's pretty slick that Nathan is so open to new ideas and concepts. :Thumbsup:
