I also registered board-bmw.co.uk just in case it was needed.

When potty training our little lad I was reading through one of the instruction manuals we bought and poo-poos were constantly referred to as BMs, bowel movements!

Is someone out to destroy this forum?

Certainly to make life difficult.....

OK so, I've found a dartboard:

Has anyone got a nice clear pic of Mr. H's face?

I feel an idea for a new logo coming on......

I think the car club has under estimated the value of the forum.

I remember reading an article in the club mag which said something like we know the majority of club memebers don't use the forum that much (paraphrasing). That maybe so but I'd like to hazard a guess that the active members, the life and sole of the club use the forum (this one) to arrange meetings in their local areas.

I don't use the offical forum anymore purley and simply because the people I know largley hang out here. Saying that I am a paid up member of the club because I do believe in paying (even though I know the money doesn't go to the running of the forum). Which is another argument i.e are funds raised in the regions spent in the regions?   

However with the continuing arguments coming out I have to say that my presonal feeling is that its the offical club that keeps dragging the issue up again and again. Because they realise they are in the poo in the long term and have to destroy this forum to bring members back into the fold and make them pay. If other members are anything like me they will be seriously considering whether or not to pay the renewal fee?

Just on another note (apologies if this has been discussed to death already) what is the full history behind the split?

Anyway keep up the good work chaps I know that my experience of owning a BMW has been made much better because of THIS FORUM rather than the club magazine or the car club board or the events directly organised by them.
