There is a lot of lurking going on. People seem to be using the "book of the face" to get quick answers. Maybe its time someone made a Aus Mini Facebook group??

I as well home this forum stays strong, it is an amazing resource for the newly initiated.


There already is an ausmini facebook page which is quite popular: https://www.facebook.com/groups/250368238352982/

And yes, it seems to be used for quick question:answer posts, which is why I prefer the forum, as it is a better resource for information.

I just tried the other mini forum site to see how busy it is and I can't seem to find it. Has the Minidriver forum closed up shop?

Maybe unfortunately no one seemed to say much i think the projects were rusting away quicker than people commenting

So is that the app people are fixated upon, when walking along the street & bumping into others, not looking at where they are going?

I don't think I would have been able to complete my clubby in 2 years if it hadn't been for all the help I got from Ausmini members. I learn so much just from reading other people's posts!

I think this site is the best resource a Mini enthusiast can find.

Keep on Ausmini

I would have to agree, ausmini is the best resource a mini enthusiast can find.
There are a number of great people on this site with so much information.
I wish the GT Forum was still going and was disappointed when it was discontinued.
I for one would not be interested in Facebook and hope that we all continue to support ausmini.

I've been using this site to work on my daughters and my 850,s.
It is an unbelievable resource.
I ask questions where necessary and post if it's something I know the answer to.

Best site ever.

"In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far"
"Oh-a-aho oh"
"Oh-a-aho oh"

I doubt that I would have bought my mini if ausmini didn't exist. I do know it would not still be on the road if it weren't for the help of everyone on this forum.

I'll pass on farcebook thanks, not my cup of tea !

So it's a big thankyou from me to everyone for their help.

I must try and post an update tonight.

cheers
