    I was going to ask if Babs still had the Clubby. Glad she still loves it!

    Of course he was...took awhile for him to make up his mind to buy it, though.

    Yes I was. My son bought the car from me a couple of months ago. I hated to let it go but he is even more in love with that car than I was. Also the kid is very picky! So it is in good hands. I didn't get to drive it enough. It is his daily driver. I am hoping to meet him at the dragon soon. I have to get my car done first.

    I’m friends with Nathan on FB, but he hasn’t posted anything in a long time. Haven’t heard from him in forever! Hope he is doing well.

    LOL @wmwny If you knew how many people we lost you would not ask. This forum has been devastated by negativity. I truly would like to turn it around. It is not FB that is killing MA, it was people felt unwelcome here and just left. I am on a couple other forums and they are thriving, they have at least 2 pages worth of post each day, we are luck to get a couple post. Ask @Sully, we spent a lot of time on the phone and in emails trying to fix problems. We lost a lot of really good people. When Nathan band Dave I was the one that talked Nathan into letting him come back, others told me I should not do it. They were right! He cam back and attack Nathan, it was not right! I regret my hand in it. Nathan was trying to be nice by bringing him back. That was the first mass exodus from MA. Nathan sold his Mini and sold MA and left. Josh finally took over and worked hard on MA. And I am here every day hoping it gets kicked started agin.
    I really like Dave he was one of the most helpful people I know. I won't and cant get into anything more only to say I wish things worked differently but they did not.

    I know some are not happy with me over all this, I would say sorry, but I’m not. It is disheartening to have members PM you to say they won't be back even after you try and make it right.

    For all you that are still here thank you for hanging on. We need everyone here to help make MA what it was. If you know any old members that haven't been here in a while please encourage them to come back.

    Your MA Mom

    I didn’t have a MINI for several years and kinda faded off MA, but yeah Dave and others certainly made my decision pretty easy to stay away. I was reluctant to honestly come back and post anything. I am very surprised how dead it is here. I remember the “good ole days” when MA was hopping and loved the all the conversation and banter. I know it is a MINI oriented group, but definitely all the negativity and Daveness ran off all of the car guys that just wanted to hang with a great group. Not sure if any of that can be repaired.
