    These posts make me smile. Back when I first signed up on the other site, I got this message saying "Welcome to NAM". I replied that the first time someone said that to me was 40 years ago and I hoped this would be a more enjoyable experience. I soon learned that I still had to keep my head down. :lol:

    Carlisle is near my old home of northern Baltimore County, loved going to the many shows and swap meets in Carlisle.

    Thats pretty cool, most dealers do not do that. If I may, who was your Motoring Adviser, I'd like to send them a thank you note.

    That would be nice of you sir.There were two but I think it was Andrew Lyon that gave me the scoop on this club? A real talker and full of good information about the mini community.
    Knows just about everything on the new Clubman. The whole sales department was easy going and friendly. I even got my car washed while I went on a test drive.

    In my case, it was while googling how reliable a Mini was and this forum helped me decide that. I expect endless stories to tell and lotsa fun to have in the days to come!

    KUDOS to the site!

    I found you from J Wong here in Colorado. I purchased a 15% pulley and need to get a puller and advice on a new belt, because Moss motor said I did not need one!

    I decided to join after hanging out with the Mid-Ohio Motoring Club. All new MINI owners will need advice at some point or another!

    I am still trying to figure out what the deal is with the badges though...any advice let me know. I'll be hunting around the site...

    You will find the advice here is given in a very friendly manner and sometimes it is even correct. :lol: (Just kidding)

    What information, exactly, are you looking for on badges? If it is "Grill Badges" there are many of them, many types of holders and such. We need more information.
