Been thinking about selling the daily drive and promoting the project truck. As for the mg project it doesn't cost a lot yet as I don't have time for volunteering for the youngsters. Got this weekend off and was supposed to be going across to dougs for the bumper (another great favour from club members) but struck down with terminal man flu. So enforced rest for me

Wtf!!!!!!!!!! Jim I'm really sorry that happened last time I think someone's been messing with the dictionary on my phone because when I typed Jim it autocorrected to Clive

If I put my sisters name in "Sasha" it kept changing to "Lisa"

It has to be my brother the little git!!

I read your post, and all the way through, assumed it was another car forum, then got to the end bit and realised.....

I really do not understand the problem of some of people, do they really think Google just miraculously self populates with all these answers, it needs people to post the answers in order for others to be able to search on them.

The first time I got a similar response on there, I thought,"well, if I am going to have to do a google search for all my answers, why do I need to be on this forum?" I only pop on there once in a blue moon now, where as I check this forum several times a day.

Thought you may realise.

I don't post much, just keep tabs on a number of threads for useful updates from those forum members who are happy to impart their knowledge to those of us who are still learning.

I've got a custom baseboard coming hopefully before Christmas and a pile of track and plans and stuff to go with it ready at home. I may actually post a thread on here for it. Who knows, there may be others on here who may have that particular bug.

Hope your trucks feeling better bloke.

Imagine if it worked the other way and changed Clive into Jim, Clive James would then become Jim James, sounds like a shotened version of jimjams lol

Someone has messed with my on board dictionary too, every time I type "Banshee", it changes it to "Banker" or something similar.. Luckily I correct it in time.

You know I am only joking lol...
The problem when you can't sleep at night lol... Go on, who else takes their iPad to bed with them?

Choo choo, think i had better not take up another hobby or Ill be in the divorce courts

macabethiel · 27-11-2016, 18:10

I am on another couple of Forums. One of the BMW ones I joined I posted a fair question never got a reply even after a couple of weeks.

Jeep forums are mostly the same with the Santa Fe got banned from the Hyundai one when I posted some feedback about a local dealer who I used to have some work done - realised it was sponsored or moderated by vested interests.

Just hope that as Terrano's and existing members start to become older that the membership does not drop off too much.

I love it here and may get another Nissan when the Jeep dies!

We could change the name of it if membership drops off.

I'm on another very large (a collective of pretty much every vehicle produced) forum with my Monaro.
TBH, it's pretty crap. All the threads just get lost in the abyss as there's only one landing page. Any how to threads & what you may consider important just get left behind.
I'm an Admin on the below forum (I have been for many years) which is laid out just like this one with many different sections that you can go back to years later.
No one uses it. It's like a ghost town. I've tried many different ways to try & get them to move, but the members won't.

I agree with all the above posts, and will add that it is not just friendship, but REAL caring that is shared, in a 'manly hug' sort of way..... look at everyones reactions to Briggie and Uncle Rustic, as they travel through a hard journey, support, care, and I'm sure, that for those close enough to help if asked.....they would only need to be asked once......

It is not just Nissans that are discussed and advice offered......you can ask just about anything, and someone will scratch their head and come up with an answer.......you may get some curved ball banter in between......but thats what friends do.

I am on a forum based over here, biking related, and it has become so far politicised, it has become a bore scanning it. So much intellectual arrogance about a recent referendum result, I think I may not renew this next year.....

So guys, keep it going, keep the banter, the help, support, care and friendship going......
