    Only issue with that is...
    If the last person leaves who knows anything about this site, who will "rescue" the folks left...
    Subtle hints about where to go, links, etc can all be left, referring folks to here...
    Love it or HATE it, NAM will be near the top of the list on internet searches for years...
    Good folks do appear there....then we can steer them to a "better" site as NAM begins to collapse....
    I do find it interesting that IB takes the $$ of a pirate selling map updates and makes them a "vendor"


    Wonder if we should collect some $$ here, and become a vendor and sell MINI t-shirts as a vendor on NAM...think, selling M/A t-shirts WITH MOTOR ON , on NAM....lol.

    I hate the NAM and all the Mods on it are toolbags.

    I hope that site goes down the toilet and the TP is the rag known as MC2.

    For people that have PMed me asking where I have been, I am still here I just don't post as much now. Nothing exciting going on worth posting about.

    Let's face the facts, MINI is a fad and the enthuest excitement is down the drain and the car is no long unique or "not normal".

    Thanks BMW :Thumbsup:

    We need a good old "what wipers, fuel, oil, air filter or tires do you use" thread :lol:

    JUST KIDDING!

    I have a Coupe and I'm very active on this forum. I just don't post in the Coupe section because my activity is overall MINI based, not focused on my model number. Personally I go for quality not quantity and that's why I made my home over here many years ago when Nathan founded the site. NAM has so much garbage to sift through everyday it's difficult to zero in on what is important to me. My suggestion is to sit back, relax and enjoy the MA ride. You can either consume an energy drink and run around frantically or pour a nice bourbon and enjoy every sip. That's the difference in NAM and MA. ...pass the bourbon, please!

    Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

    M/A is smaller, that's for sure. Hence the fewer posts. I like to think the quality is better, that is what is important to me, and well, I run the place.

    When I say "I run the place" I really do. With the help of Steve we manage to keep things going pretty smoothly. Like any group we have our share of oddballs. Your's truly included.

    M/A is not everyone's snifter of bourbon.

    Then again, we have donuts.

    Dick's right, I've had a formal request from all the veterinarians in the state of Colorado not to prescribe him any more.

    Look, there's more to it than just the wipers. Anyone can put in high performance wipers, but getting them properly tuned for optimized performance, that's the the trick. Dick blew his car up tuning his wipers. IMHO the only way to properly tune the wipers is to ditch the ECU, put in a Vipec, and tune them on a dynapack.

    Other than a suggestion to start showing pictures of nude chicks in MINIs, this is the most interesting thing I've seen on NAM lately:

    "Wasn't long ago a few guys (cheeky hooligan fun seekers) posted some obnoxious stuff just so they could have bragging rights on another forum for getting banned from NAM."

    So, what's this other forum they're talking about? :wink:

    Just let the NAM die. The more you go on the crappy site the more they hang on.


    LET THE NAM GO!

    That's the same BlimeyCabrio who had over 8,000 posts on the Sewing Site before I got sick of that BS. But M/A is dead, you know.

    I will take some of that bourbon. :) I only visit NAM to check the 5280 area and see if anyone is posting and hopefully I can answer or redirect.

    The current officers of MINI5280 (Colorado) have embraced FB for all their ride activity and conversations, pretty interactive, you just have to ignore the foibles of FB.

    NAM is pretty dead, I do hit the vendor announcements, but most of them announce here too. At least the real vendor do! :)

    I think we have a best wiper blade thread on M/A.

    :)
