In This Issue... Caring for your MINI Getting to the track Maintenance How-tos Photography Clubs and more Note: The first two issues are available to all members of NAM

Larger Private Messaging Space
Tired of always having to keep your PM space cleaned? Really want to save a lot of the messages others have sent you, like that one with the killer auto-x alignment specs that gained you 2 seconds on the short course? Now you get the space to keep that message and more, five times more (500 messages versus 100)! With all that space, you’ll be complaining that you never can find the message you want in all the other important ones you saved. That’s a good problem to have!

Larger Personal Gallery Space
Want to show off all of those cool shots of your MINI, you and your MINI, your friends and your MINI….? With the Alliance Program, you receive THREE times the storage space that you now have (36MB versus 12MB). Flicker is good, Picasa is oddly named and hard to link to, nothing works better than our own NAM Gallery. Plus, with the new Garage feature, (see below) of the Alliance Program, you can save your gallery space for things other than just your MINI.

Custom Titles
Sixth Gear no more!! Tell your fellow NAM’s how you really feel with your own Custom Title. Change YOUR title to suit your mood. Anything goes..well, within the bounds of what most would consider good taste. Want to call yourself Megalomaniac? Go for it! It’s you!!!

Alliance Member designation in all your posts
Show your peers just how cool and smart you are. All of your posts will have an image under your new custom title showing your membership in the NAM Alliance Program. Everyone who sees your posts is sure to mumble under their breath, “he’s da bomb”.

Custom Avatars
Do you identify more with Bootsy Collins than a MINI Boot? Show your funk with a custom avatar made by you, for you, about you. It really is all about you, isn’t it?

Custom Profile Pictures
Those profile pages are awfully boring. Flat text, links to a gallery, PM, email and maybe a chat link, but that’s it. Brighten up that humdrum page with a picture of your choosing.

NAM Garage Space
Launching soon, you'll have parking space in our new virtual garage to keep track of your MINI's history, mods, pictures, and more. Furthermore you'll be able to show off what's in your garage to other members of the community!

Subscription to the NAM Alliance online Magazine
Starting February 29, 2008 you’ll have access to a new NAM publication. It’s an online magazine that you will be proud to print out and leave in the reading room, where others can see that you know your stuff, or it will merely serve to reinforce the fact that you have gone over the MINI deep end! Each issue is packed with in-depth articles covering all aspects of your Motoring experience. High Resolution photos capture the mood, intermingled with engaging text to entertain and educate. This magazine is about you, the MINI Motorer. It’s also by you, with all of the articles written by NAM members you know and respect.

Two NAM Decals
You've seen them on other MINIs and we're including two of them along with the grille badge.

NAM Alliance Magnetic Grille Badge
The HOT new fashion accessory for your MINI or garage fridge is this slick badge. Featuring the NAM logo and a map of North America, this badge, with its red trim, will add at least 5 WHP to your MINI! We all know that adding red bits increases HP! Starting with the Charter Member badge, we'll be sending out a new badge each year you renew.
