Title: First Post #2
Post by: Air2air on September 17, 2015, 01:59:08 PM
Maybe we should invite Boison to post here too.

Big thanks to Dan for starting this so long ago.  I am already jealous because he:

1. Gets chicks
2. Restores minis
3. Flies real planes instead of me with my measly single-engine endorsement.

If any of you would like to rebut with reasons not to be jealous of Dan this would be the thread.

Lol welcome.  Hopefully you weren't 1 of 13 waiting to be approved for registration.  Somehow several people got put on a waiting list.  At any rate it goes like this:

1. Hot chicks
2.  Cool cars
3. Jet airplanes
4.  Profit.

I just registered here. Read about this place on one of the anti-boison threads on MM. Glad to know there is a place with a higher signal to noise ratio than the MM forum of late.

I think I am fitz1tj over there, but don't post there much.

I bought my '65 'S' long before the Internet and forums and then once I was into forums (primarily advrider.com) I couldn't quite get into the feel of MM, so never really took part.  Sounds like it's quite a place, though!  Glad I missed it.

Welcome aboard you guys!

I think there would be competition among the moderators here for smacking down any Boison posts if he were to come over here and try to start the same kinds of mess as on MM.

As in who could whack them first and fastest.

Edit:

Forgot to say "Welcome".

Welcome!

As one who missed all the drama on MM (and I don't mind one bit that I did) some of us don't know the references, just FYI.

Welcome, guys. Glad to see some new old guys. Lol. Can't wait to see this place become the hub of knowledge for American Minis.

Guys is Army cook (Dennis Santinerella) here? If not I'll tell him to register so he can tell you guys the story when Boison/Robster stalked him at his house.

No clue but you can send him a private message on here and ask.  Sounds like a story we'd like to hear.

Mmmm.... Man stalking that sounds hot.


Welcome here, Dan dragged me into the Mini world from the Rotary world. Now, for the first time in 17 years I do not own a rotary powered car, but have a Mini and love it.

I found out Dans secret as to how he pulls so much tail. It is all in the sunglasses.

Like whack a mole, but with boison.  Once in a blue moon a spammer gets in but I check the site so much, they likely are deleted before anyone ever notices.  In the 6 or 7 years we've been here, there hasn't been a single issue with anyone.  It's nice that we have been steadily growing over the past couple years.  Hopefully the trend continues. 

Yes Jim it's all about the glasses.  I found those on the airplane the other day and thought they'd make a fine addition to the mini.

John G just emailed me and I just registered :) This forum is legit! So please tell me there are moderators standing by ready to mode, delete and ban some shit at any given time lol

If yes then Im ditching MM and this will be my new home! Cant wait to flood this forum with endless pictures of my mini... kidding but yeah.

You're safe here!  4.gif  We have moderators but honestly never have issues here.  And I have a media gallery for mass uploading as many pictures as you like, or simply attach whatever you want.

I've come over from the other side as well.

Also, I'm sure Boison is just stalking ArmyCook looking for that HiF38 Carburetor he missed out on. Wrong house buddy. 

And... lastly I guess I'll finally put up a post of my '74 Mini 1000 Project that I've been working on for the past year. I've been keeping it pretty under wraps because it's not quite up to running standard yet.

Thank you for having me.

Man I can't believe I convinced my better half to let me buy that p.o.s from you! Ha ha just kidding, she had great bones and I was able to look past the obvious issues at hand. She's come a long long way in the last year that I've owned her. I'll start up her own page this weekend.

I second the "glad you could make it" welcome.  And yes, there are active moderators as well as a very active (in more ways than one) admin.  View the "cell phone pictures" thread and the "drunk" thread to see what our admin 'Dan' is often up to.  Very entertaining.

I'm stalking you Todd. I won't be ignored Todd !

Damn, creeped myself out. "Fatal Attraction " did more for mens fidelity than the Catholic church ever could.
Your idea of inviting boison, what , have you gone daft boy  ? 11.gif

Pretty sure Boison doesn't attempt it here cause he'd be banned in 3 seconds flat.
