Im not too fussed about savings from being in a club, don't get me wrong I'm not loaded, but as I own own an older car I just do not buy OEM parts or use dealers of any kind for parts serving and repairs. I wish that I could afford to, but sadly, I can't.
I invariably buy aftermarket parts and have work done at a very trustworthy, decently priced and excellent local garage.
I personally just can not put a price on the fun, friendship and family I have made whilst being in NMS. There's no dramas, no back stabbing, no cliques, no bitchiness or any negativity in general which I can't see me finding in any other club, car specific, or not.
This club has a huge age range of owners, and a massive range of models owned, and everyone treats each other with respect and kindness which is amazing in this day and age of keyboard warriors.
A few know my thoughts and feelings about this club and that I have a "1%/99%" philosophy about it. 1% is actually about owning a MINI, 99% is about the people who have now become friends and family.
Long may NMS continue to be a fantastic forum/FB group. Others will always try, but fail, to be as energetic, passionate, friendly and as helpful as the members of NMS are.
Ramble over.
Enjoy and be safe.
