    Via MINI5280 and our Facebook pages for MINI5280 which Chuck maintains. :D

    It is looking good.

    From Sunshine MINIs (FL) forum. We had a good little group attend and come back with the news.

    Saw your link at MININUTS. I'm not a member there, just a voyeur (It's an interesting site, to say the least....).

    I figure this site will have officially arrived when the forum members at MININUTS start bashing it (Or when one of the MININUTS demands that their account here be terminated).

    It's actually good to see the NUTS here though; hopefully the structure of this site will bring the community back together a bit....

    Found out about it from you Nathan at the Registration room. You were a marketing machine.

    Well, I guess I had some early warning as Nathan asked if he could use my car as the first featured Mini. I had written my article and sent him the photos for the next Alliance magazine issue that ultimately got canned...
    I am very impressed with the site, and Nathan has all the skills and motivation to make it work. I like some of the great new ideas that make it a little different to the other more established sites. I never felt part of m|u, and NAM has started to smell a little like old milk, so something new and fresh represents a great opportunity to keep the R53 (and it's brethren) alive and well.

    Good luck!

    I was alerted of a covert coup d'état by a certain individual and eagerly joined the rebellion. :wink5:

    Do we create a pool as to when we get M/A on page one?

    And another for when we unseat the current leader...my goal is a year for that.

    Nathan, I think we've known each other for a while. BTW where can I find "my stuff" you were going to publish?

    We hit a few little technical details with some images that have to be worked out. It's coming...all the text is added, just need to get the images loaded properly and then we can take them out of hiding.

    Thread on the Nuts, and linky from drama land.

    Glad to be here. From the looks of it, the site is growing very quickly.

    Kudos to Nate and everyone else involved in the new site. :cornut:
