A shocking revelation

[extreme-4x4]

thats the point i was trying to make all along, as a varied bunch of people from varied backrounds etc.

its all well and good me saying my bit and the boss doing his bit. but what really matters is your bit.

what is it you like?
what bit dont you like?
what bit made you join?
what bit makes you want to give up?
what else would you like ?

for me id like
more interactive stuff pics video's or zippy's games

id love a shop merchandise and parts for sale you could even buy your sevice kits here (new idea)you could even have a full blown shop snorkels tyres anything really and you order paypal then wait for your bits to arrive via the club

i want to learn all i can cos i got a mav and i bloody love it

i dont like nit picking i get that at home anyway dont need more
same as texting the wife, you say something in text and they miss interpret it, then she gets grumpy . i suppose its the same here sometimes using text... as rag says having to ones tongue is best

i liked it before and i love it now:thumbs

Well,first post since I joined. Have still to pick up my first Terrano 2, hopefully after Christmas. It's a 96 2.7TD, I'll mainly be using it for in and out to work, hunting and general get around. Previously had a Pajero 2.5 SWB and was a member on there, good site ,lots of help and advice on problems, really useful stuff. I find here is perhaps a little more like a chat room, although a friendly chat room. Would like to see more on the problem solving side , although the articles and how to's with pictures are very good. Perhaps the relatively small number of posts on repairs etc is because the Terranos and Mavericks are so reliable. I can't wait to get mine and give it a good look over, I didn't really have a good look at it and don't know for certain which engine is in it, guessing it's the 2.7TD but need to have a proper look when I pick it up. Don't recall seeing an Intercooler on it and it doesn't have an air scoop. Anyway I hope this site keeps growing and would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a great New Year.

well, I like the club pretty much as it is, and that doesn't mean there should not be any changes as I am pretty much up for anything.

I like the pub chat area, people don't allways agree but then they dont do that off line either do they?

I think that it is a friendly place with a lot of positive points and even when people dont agree it can be positive, I think the thing is to just not join in a thread you are not happy with and go and start or join in another ;-)

On line as in real life, the P.M. critiscisms behind each others backs, and petty foot stamps and leaving, and cyptic critiscism like 'i'm not naming names but!' do more harm to the club on line and off than actualy geting you point of view out there and talking it through! I wonder how many peole get paranoid over such comments and feel they are being the victim of a P.M. conversation? when in reality the person you are aiming it at either doesn't realise, or doesn't care!

I'm not syain I know best, as i don't but I have been here a while and have seen some dedicated and loyal members and friends leave over P.M. fall outs, and behind closed doors stuff.

It does appear though that the hard core of members who keep posting is slowly growing, and they stay regardless of anyhting that is said or done, those who can stand a little dispute from time to time and keep moving forward! life is full of ups and downs, and the club would not be here at all if everyone threw the towel in at the first posting they didn't like the look of would it?

SO LETS STOP back biting about back biting, and get on with it!

well said like to watch whats going on

I have allways thought that one of the signs of a real friend is that you can 'fall out' without falling out' and that the first harsh words dont mean the end of everything, take the wife for example;-)

We can thrash out an agreement or heatedly agree to differ, alongside all the friendly banter it is all part of the rich tapetry of communication that makes this community.

I think when you get agreement from people, it is nice when you know it doenst come from people who just agree to everyhting to keept the piece and can be confident they will express the opinion they hold.

Everyone joins for different reasons, and it is therefore wise to keep a variety of posting 'styles' to keep everyone interested.

I must admit though i find the lack of anything at the old club address is not good, if it had been kept with a 'redirecting too' message or simmilar for a while it might have been better?

Hi Plank, what do ya mean m8. When I go to the old .co.uk address it redirects me to the new front page. Have I got the wrong end of the stick again.

Well said Plank
I love this site worts and all
Ok we all have bad days but when I have one ....I keep quiet

 

[Bibio]

I joined the club when I bought my Mistral to get info on servicing etc,

But this club has become much more,

My mistral runs great so no need for the info (Touch Wood),

I dont feel the need to post all the time as there are much more knowledgeable people on here, but if I think I can help I will !.

I enjoy having a look in to see whats going on in a regular basis.

Great Club ( More of the same)

John

Like Bibio i joined to get info as i had just bought my mav and ican honestly say it is the best tenner i ever spent.
i might not post very often but i check the site out more than once a day as there is always somthing of intrest going on if not more information then the banter.
With so many likeminded people on here the club can only grow for the best
Keep up the good work

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

willow, if you have abad day you can shout at me i can take it, the worst i can do is shout back :thumbs

Jim, no its probably me i will have another go later

 

[zippy656]

I love this site:thumb2
good friends varied topics
Help with the problems with the trucks
meets in different parts of the counrty
And jokes to put a smile on your face
Great what more could you ask for:thumbs

we can all try to make it even better for ourselves here, and get new members to join, ad all members to jioin in the fun and chat..

the more the merrier..

One thing this new software has reviled is the actual active membership of the Club.

Of the 1,177 registered users of the site only 694 are paid up club members.

Of those 694 Club members 348 have not logged on for over 3 months.

By my reckoning that means we have an active club membership of just 346

346 members in a club that is 4 years old is shocking considering how many Nissan & Ford Mavs there are in the UK alone :doh

so if your not paid up your not a member!!!! remove them, or are we a charity?

fair point... are the ones that are not up to date still getting access.

if they are lock them out. it would be fair give them a cut off point, of say 1/2/09 then its all locked up and you need to re join.

at least you wont be working your ass of for free, and you would have an accurate figure on members. then we can all work on from there

on the bright side. we do get lots of guests and new members too so its looking up

and i think plank said it right... cos i dont get offended and nothing i say on here is meant to offend . but having said that if i do ever. please feel free to pm me and say
id rather know so i can apologize .
im here for fun friendship and to learn about 4x4's... and to do anything that helps the club:thumbs:thumbs:thumbs:thumbs:thumbs

 

[ssteve]

or suspend their membership for a month with no access then if they don't pay up kick em out

Steve there are about 500 registered here that are not Club members, they can see all the posts but can only post in this section, some are new members but the majority are past members.

I don't think it is ethically right to make people pay without first being able to see what they are getting.... I want people to become paid up Club members because they want to.... not because they HAVE to.

I believe by opening up the site more and allowing people to see what we have to offer + the help and advice that is available, will ultimately encourage more people to join and WANT to be part of what we are.

yesterday, under the cover of darkness i slipped out and put a club flier under a t2 windscreen wiper, someone was visiting a neighbour, dont know them so i did it commando style, hopefully another visiter to site and maybe a new member, :thumb2 :
