Holy ****!!!

I knew things were not good, but this is terrible news

Mikey isn't just a sponsor, he is supporter of the car and the site, he is an innovator, he brings us products, advice and great prices that no other can or has ever done on this site, and now the site changes and doesn't listen to one of its most valuable assets?

I knew the heart and sole of the place wasn't here any longer, but its seems that brain death has now kicked into MINI2 as it certainly isn't thinking straight if it is making its number one user feel like his support and opinion is no longer valued

Mikey, if this isn't resolved, and you go elsewhere other than a rather good Irish MINI forum I know, please be sure to let me know, as there is no-one else mate that I would trust to get advice and MINI ICE items from

So where is the defence from the website owners? 46 posts so far and no reaction. Says it all in my book.

I have valued mikeys contribution and drove to Formby to get him to do something on my car because I was convinced he is the best. This is really bad news.

What on earth has happened to the BEST MINI site on the www!
Im not on here much anymore, and read a thread today in OTB about members going AWOL, small wonder why!
Ive never used Mikey's services, but have read lots of his posts offering brilliant advice!
Surely you (and you know who you are) should be looking after you 'bread and Butter' better !
I chose not to renew my privilege membership, and feel i chose wisely...
I will stick to my local forums more and more fromnow on..
Shame on you for not treating people as human beings instead of a pay packet

i've only ever purchesed a couple of icelinks of you mikey, but i've valued your advice and regard you as the 'gold standard '' of mini car electrics. If the clubman was more ipodable i'd use you again, Missing you already( but remembering your website)

I can't believe it.

Mike mate you've helped me on numerous occasions and I'd say by far your one of the most helpful people on this site. I'm proud to class you more as a friend now.

I certainly know which 2 tuners bickering on here (I'm far from a fan of one of them who causes more arguements than most). They've caused what I feel is a ridiculous seperation of the forums, but it seems no one seems to take any notice anymore.

Completly gutted. I'll continue to recommend people to you on here, albet that will no-doubt infringe some rules.

Its a 'kin Joke

I look forward to seeing you still at the lakes run and pub meets Take care of yourself mate, and the family! Better spending time with them rather than wasting your life on here trying to make it a decent place to visit

real shame Mikey

imho the response both it this thread and the poll about site use clearly indicate what the user want and expect from the forum.

I've seen the narrow minded comercial approach over listening to members kill more than one club/forum. Stupid thing is that then kills the commercial side and everyone loses

These Sticky threads will be added to other forums as Supporting Vendors request exposure for their Product Announcements in the public forums.

He IS the man when it comes to the MINI electricals. One of few people I have no worries working on my car (more than I can say about most MINI dealerships!)
