Mini Forum?

As well as all the above, howabout a Landrover Discovery forum since the TD version uses a BMW engine.

It didn't actually. The Range Rover did. 2.5 turbo diesel six cylinder from the 525 TDS. It's the only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing that will work for more than 6 months without braking on the bloody car.

its a tough call, but since we had a joint meeting with them it would be churlish not to let them join in the forum (even though i personally felt there was a distinct "them & us" flavour to the whole thing - seperate areas of the pub/restaurant, they didn't want to mix with our lot, never the twain shall meet!)

on my local radio station (moray firth) calterdon advertises the mini alongside its usual fare so any prospective owner may be expecting a presence on a bmw related forum as well as the specific mini ones

i agree with amalgamating some little-used sections and maybe giving them one of their own for appearance sake

So KB, how about creating a "Anyone else who happens to drive a 'BMW' vehicle/derivative that hasn't got its own forum in this forum" forum?

That should keep everybody happy?!

yeah why the heck not, it's not like it's official

sorry, devils advocate aka thepits got the better of me (bite my tongue...bite my tongue....)

quite right, i'd do away with the alpina specific forum too even though it was my suggestion in the first place, i think the concensus was to give it a trial and see how it worked out? it didn't, not enough people came across from the popular www.thealpinaregister.com, but, again, the effort was made for appearance sake - much like the suggested mini forum, "it'll never fly!"

you haven't lost that mischevious bent you've adopted lately have you Neil, despite your attempts to convince otherwise.....

I have no idea. It was something that I thought of when I was sitting here a few months ago promoting the club and an angel appeared to me and gave me inspiration.

Rather large blobby type angel ?

Awww go on...you know you want to

no, it will only cause aggro

An Alpina section seems much more relevant to me.
