    Motoring Alliance is just over 3 years old as I write this. 3 years and 2 months to be exact. This site was built for you, the MINI owner and enthusiast in mind and to that end we want to know how we are doing?

    What do you want to see that is missing?

    What is good about Motoring Alliance?

    What is not so good about Motoring Alliance?

    The M/A staff and I listen to your comments, we want this site to be comfortable for you to use. If you would rather not make your comments public please feel free to email or send me Private Message.

    Thanks for your support.

    It remains the friendly MINI site without the constant BS that you get from the others, especially the sewing site. Nathan, you have lived into your integrity by doing what you said you would do when you started Motoring Alliance....great site, keep it up!

    I love the library! It is the uncelebrated hero of the site, IMHO. Nowhere else can I find such a complete packaged reference set. I try and add to it when I can, but I love to be able to go to one place and find a concise 'how-to' without digging through and consolidating posts on 10 different threads from several different sites.

    I'd be shouting about that feature from the rooftops!

    We already have one of those Crash. :lol:

    This site has a bit of everything, friendly and helpful. What else could you ask for? I rather like it here. :Thumbsup:

    MA is still my go to site, if only I could get the majority of our club members to migrate. I will be working on it.

    Good site, open discussion, not to much moderation, just enough, not to many trolls, just a few. :)

    Well Don, you can do what I did. :idea: Get yourself & your friends banned from the sewing site. It was easier than falling off a log. It was great to be welcomed here with open arms.

    I think the site is great. It is much easier to post here and not get some idiotic answer or reply like the sewing site. Of course there is the occasional rant between a few here but that adds some life to the party which is ok.

    A site for those that like to bicker, and bicker about the bickering.

    Unlike this site, where bickering may happen, but is not the predominant feature, and is dealt with, with as little bickering as possible:Thumbsup:

    I appreciate the M/A site quite a lot, particularly for the encouragement given to anyone who needs it. Also - A gazillion thumbs-up for the library How-To section.

    I, too, give MA a hip hip hooray for both its knowledge and entertainment values. It's rare that I don't check it out at least twice daily.

    I am probably in the minority, but when I see a thread with thousands of replies, I stay clear.

    And thanks, Norman, for posting MINI news from other sources.

    I am new to Mini's (06MCSa Dec, 24, 2011) I don't post a lot cause I am learning and everybody knows more than I do. Search is my friend. I enjoy the atmosphere over here and the information available. I hope this doesn't make me a troll. The site(to me) is laid out well, easy to find most everything, the library is growing and I am learning a lot. Thanks Nathan, you and your crew are doing a great job! As a newbie I really appreciate it! :Thumbsup:
