I am new

Postby duality » Fri May 23, 2008 4:44 am

Is this a busy forum? from the looks of it there aren't many local members (NAM seems equally quiet) but a nice site nonetheless.

I am picking up my Hyper Blue 05' MCS on Saturday afternoon and am extremely excited. Been in the VW and Jeep scenes for a looooong time and always been a car enthusiast. I'm 23 so I might be one of the younger members here. I've had quite the long list of cars for my age... from a Toyota truck with 38.5" swampers and a Wrangler on 33's to an Audi TT slammed on 19x10" iForged 3-piece, an S2000, and all sorts of other stuff... I think I'm most excited about the mini just for sheer fun factor.


enough rambling, look forward to meeting some of you - John!

P.S. here is a pic of the car the person I'm buying it from took.

150 members strong actually, just not everyone spends time on the forums is all.

Look forwarding to meeting you John and seeing the new ride!

Welcome to the forum! Watch the calendar and the forum, come out and meet some folks.

There is much more to the club than just a message forum. Our meetings, fun runs and gatherings have a lot more social contact than an online forum can offer, but this is just one way we can chat about the stuff we are going to do, and keep in touch between the real live stuff!

Hope to see you soon. :D
