I've been here a long time too.      I still check in from time to time hoping that this board will come back to it's former glory.   

 

I've been through several mini's:

1963 Cooper,   1974 Canadian mini Converted to US bumpers, a 1989 - racing green re-vin, and my current mini a 1987 UK RHD mini with a very tired engine.

 

Everyone here is so knowledgeable I would hate to see the forum go away.

 

I guess it's true what they say - You can never go home.

As the newbie, (2019) thank you for your service...... Doesn't not appear as if there is a white knight sitting in the wings to revive the 'brand'. I am sure the tariff crap has not made survival any easier. Glad to migrate (I avoid facebook) if anyone has a good idea. KimB

I just noticed that all of us signed up in 2002 (and Bill likely before that)

 

Sigh!

Been here a long time as well.  I miss the daily banter and learning cool mechanical things from all you very knowledgeable guys and gals.

 

I posted something neutral about M-M (more of a question than anything) a week or two ago and it was deleted within hours.

 

I'll miss you guys !

 

I hang out at Dan's restoration Mini website a little.

Sad but true. A lot of forums have died due to Facebook. Faster  response to questions and more folks to help. This WAS the place to be but people have moved on. I keep hoping and hanging around to provide any help I can.

This forum is just about dead. Most of the posts are by scammers, more likely AI scam-bots.  The current owners/operators of MiniMania are not paying any attention to this problem. I am done trying to point out potentially harmful scam posts.

Will the last one to leave please turn off the lights.
