I dunno. I assume we're still active. Only been a couple of posts in the VIP (old board) clearing up some loose ends.
I guess everyone will start migrating over here eventually. I dunno. I pretty much feel like I'm persona non grata these days anyway.

Hey, thanks a lot! I had posted on the Bluegrass Minis board unaware that it was being phased out. I've yet to make it out to a meet yet due to work and things yadda yadda yadda. Hopefully soon!

Hi Everyone!!We are still around... We've been lurking a lot lately. I've been sick for over a month now... Hubby has been traveling a lot.. and Melin has been taking up just about any free time I have.
Bad news is... Mini was traded in on a Camry this weekend... I'm heart broke - but the needs of the many (family) out weight the needs of the few... I at least will still be around -- you are all a wonderful bunch!

This is just my opinion, but it appears the club as we once knew it, no longer exists. Just look at the response from 34Mini for the last meeting. Dismal at best. The club has been going through a long and painful death, and is belly up with at least one leg in the air. Come on guys, we can't even get enough interest in holding a monthly meeting!!
I for one, miss our old forum, and posting on NAM is just not the same. But that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. And I am a big enough ***hole to say what is on my mind.

I'm back because I'm NOT working...and have internet at home finally. (Welcome to the modern age, Hobbit family!) I'll admit I've been a little hesitant about posting in the past (and shy about meetings) because I'm totally clueless about cars. I mean, I love my MINI to bits, but I can't hold any ground in a conversation about mods, tires, or anything related. I just love my car.

I even accidentally learned some things about cars just by being around these folks.

Hi all.....Rosy and I are still around as well. I guess I had sort of lost interest in the club a while back for no one's fault (except my own, of course). Seemed like I went through a long sequence of teaching tues/thurs which kept me away from monthly meetings. In the old days, even if I was teaching on tuesday, we would start by "kicking tires" at 6:30, and wander in to the restaurant 6:45 to 7pm - so if I got there by 7, I just missed the kicking tires part. But in the recent years - I guess you can only stand to kick tires so long - it was dinner at 6:30 pm sharp, and the venues moved further east so I just gave up trying to make 'em.
...and then came the house (well actually the house came earlier
), which took up a lot of weekend time (not to mention money!!) With that came a bit of jealously of the newer generation of MINI owners who were modding this or that - it was hard to keep up! 
But enough of my sad story
Hope all is well with the group, and if I can get the "Beast" back to car show quality, maybe I'll catch up with some of you, somewhere down the line!
