Many congratulations to Bonnie Scotland on taking over the site from Calum.;)

We're sure the site will only go from strength to strength with you at the helm.:D

But don't think we're not still gonna find ways to wind you up.:rolleyes:

As it turned out it wasn't exactly a bidding war, after all.:eek:

AndyP & Lenore.

Well done Alan, or the new Mr NMS.

Thanks for all the support and let's not forget that without Calum, NMS would never have started or survived.
I can't imagine what it's like to sell off something that i'd grown and nurtured into what has become a highly successful site as NMS.
It couldn't have been an easy decision to make, but, all i can say is many thanks and let's just hope that i can continue to carry NMS on :)

So do you have any plans for the future of NMS?

So do you have any plans for the future of NMS?
None whatsoever :rolleyes: :D
Of course i have some plans, mainly ideas in my head at the moment, but, firstly i'm looking to secure the financial side of NMS, as like in any business, without finance the business suffers.
However, to put folks minds at ease, i don't forsee any problems in this department.

At the end of the day, the site isn't about me, it's about the members, without them the site will suffer, so, i'm all ears on what you folks want to have in your forums.
For example, a good few requests have been made regarding a gallery, so, yes, i'll be looking into that.

Congrats, Craig D text me to say that NMS had been sold and I paniced, I thought what am I going to do without it, then I found out that Bonnie Scotland had bought it and I thought oh no as Im part of the MINI polishing club and he's dead against soapy bubbles I will be bannished.
Well done on on your purchase, keep up all the good work Callum had started. all the best

From an ownership standpoint that's great news that the members are using the sponsors :)

:eek:What!!! Oh no how long is it going to be before we have a " you can only be a member if your car is MANKY" added into the rules of membership?:D

Just kidding, good luck and congrats Alan dont think I know of anyone who would have better suited for the role of NMS owner etc etc. Calum as previously said by many other members this site would never have been what it has been had it not been for you, sad to see that your going/gone but hopefully you'll still keep in touch and all the best for your future ventures and stuff.

Wowser, I was told about this last night, must admit, there's no-one better to take over!!:yes nod: As you'll see from looking under my avatar :smilewinkgrin: (forgot I don't have one anymore, dope!!) I joined a long long long time ago and can only say well done to MMM for creating such an amazing site and well done to BS for taking the agreed medication prior to taking over!! Loving the new smilies btw!!:laugh:

(ps can someone change my Evo Edna bittie, although I wish I still was one, the beast sadly went about 18 months ago! <insert crying smilie here>)

Hopefully catch up with you guys soon (apart from that strange little bald guy I met in Fatties on friday!!:D )
