Seemingly it has been decided by the BMW Car Club national Committee that the forum should be removed.
This comes after repeated concerns by the club to the public postings which may place the club in a legal quandry.
Sorry folks.
More to come as I get it!

The question does beg to be asked here...

Would the forum actually survive without the company lurking in the background?


I think it probably would, but then Ise just a mere mortal minion

Slow cameras? Hhhhhmmmmm   might not be such a bad idea. Could have done with a few on the M62 today. Steep hill, 4 lanes, crawler lane with a few lorries, lane two empty, lane 3, Micra and Pug 306 at 50 ish, lane 4 Astra, punto and mg/rover 25, at 58 ish,  so guy in front of me and the queue of cars behind me frustrated, top of hill micra and pug 306 accelerate to 60 ish and move to lane 2, astra and punto move to lane three at 60 ish and mg/rover stays where he is at same speed as lane 3, this went on for about 3 to 4 miles until mg/rover moved over to inside lane seemingly indicating to go off at next junction. Am I stupid or does this not seem like the type of driving that contributes to road rage and accidents.

You guys have it easy around here....

Try being the only British senior moderator on an American owned/run site having to deal with a 5 hour+ time difference, 90% American membership and more than a few headaches since upgrading the skin.....not to mention having to translate English English into American English and vice versa...

I need several stiff drinks every evening just to cope with it all



(Rhys has seen what I have to put up with too)

Apparently the Daily Wail had some feature about Tony B.Liar replacing the black door of No.10 with a red one.

Trouble is, life might just imitate art later on.....

kbannon you are a git! After my recent topic (I'm sure you know the one) I thought I may have caused a bit of uproar in the car club camp. Well Done though, you had me and many other people going I'm sure.

However, I have a feeling it may have had something to do with my topic that you come up with this idea and if i am correct am I allowed to take some credit for the April Fool's joke?!

Regards

Mike
