Northern MINI now open for business!!!!!

Northern MINI now open for business!!!!! Just in case you missed the title :nag:

First I'd like to thank Bazthemod for sorting out the frontpage picture, great work young 'un. And he's not finished there so you'll have to keep popping back :argh: to see more of his work.

We've also got the first NMS/NM run sorted as well, yes we've hijacked :Whistle: the Borders Run and hopefully there'll be an English invasion in the Borders come September.

Feel free to pop south and post, all are welcome. Its not true that Alan will deduct a post from NMS for every post on NM. He said it would be 10. :moonie:

That'll be great, although I'm hoping to bring a few Northerners to NMS in return

[Bumble]

well done ... i'm sure it wont be long before we have joint runs!

[Colin]

All the best with the new site Paul. :thumbs up:

[The Dogfather]

Thanks for the kind words, here's a quick update.

The domain name has finally been setup and a holding page created. The site should go fully online on 7.06.2008.

I've acquired the voluntary services of a young(pup) graphics artist who's helping me give the site a proper identity. (thanks Mate) This allows me to focus on getting some content on the boards. I've also been in touch with a NMSer about the possibility of a joint run, but this would be dependent on numbers.

I'm not expecting the site to be busy from the off but hopefully things will pick up over the first few months. Feel free to pop across the border on the 7th to have a look round.

Well done Paul.....:thumbs up:

Hope to see some southern MINI's in attendance :thumbs up:

[Bazthemod]

[Scottie]

looks very good Paul. A job well done and now 2 sites that I can post on better get started:computer:

[illegalhunter]

Nice site who did the st up for you Dogfather?

[The Dogfather]

I set the forums up.

However the brilliant frontpage image of the MINI is Bazthemod's work. There's more to follow from Baz as well.

[stoney]

[Burple]

Eww... ;) It's bad enough having the runs by yourself!!! :D:laugh::Whistle:

[The Dogfather]

Just hit 50 members, 51 if you include Crombers who I think took a wrong turning a Hamilton :D

[RyanK]

Well done for getting this started. Seems to have went down a treat with the members on Mini2.

Well done to Baz aswell, the front page looks very cool!

[The Dogfather]

Thanks Ryan. Now up to 54, Alan will be pissed most are NMSers :laugh:

[Scottie]

Thanks Ryan. Now up to 54, Alan will be pissed most are NMSers :laugh:

you laugh. I have both sites in my bookmark and so far your site has been more active than NMS of late. H'mm maybe I'll set up a mini forum for Central scotland peeps.:laugh::popcorn:

[Gismo]

Thanks Ryan. Now up to 54, Alan will be pissed most are NMSers :laugh:Not as such :Whistle: but, with most forums, folks come and go, it's keeping them there that's the key, potentially once you're site settles down the NMSers may dwindle away, or not as the case may be :p

[The Dogfather]

That's only cause I'm not posting as often on here now :D

[The Dogfather]

Alan, I think you may see a few Englanders posting on here soon, especially on he run up to Andy's run
