    Stumbled into a NAM thread where ZippyNH wrote about this "other site". Wasn't too hard to find.

    Have been a NAM member for a lot of years, since 2006. Was very active when I got my Gen1 S Cabrio. Modded it quite a bit, probably too much, at least as far as resale went. Sure was fun though through the years.

    Thought I'd have that Gen1 forever, then when I started pouring money into it after 9 years (though not many miles; only 55K), I opted for comfort and went to a Gen3 JCW hardtop. Sold off lots of extras from the now departed Gen1 Mini via NAM marketplace. Still have a few pieces advertised there for sale, but the majority is gone.

    As I said, I stumbled into a thread on NAM where there was bitching over the vendor policy there and then ZippyNH interjected about this joint, so I figured a guy with over 10,000 posts to NAM ought to know some stuff and here I am. Hello all.

    Welcome. There are a bunch of the old veterans of NAM here. I personally feel MA has the deepest knowledge base and members that will provide the real answers without telling you to go search for them. We tend to give each other a hard time but it's all in fun. Good friends here.

    I found MOTD of Facebook and went to the MOTD web site and found a link there to here.

    I’m Harry, I live in the tiny community of Mowbray Mountain, a place of about 1600 people about 20 miles north of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

    I have a 2017 Countryman All4 better known as “The TARDIS”.

    Your signature says it all. Common sense isn't all that common. In following, if necessity is the mother of invention, desperation is the mother of reading the manual.

    Found the forum by dumb luck. (most of my luck is like that). Bought a 2003 R53 in July 2019 just for the MTTS in 2020. After that.... who know may keep driving it, may upgrade to a newer generation. OR park it until the next rally.
