    Excuse my wondering but with all the newbies I suddenly had a thought - has some other motoring message board closed or had a purge in the last few weeks.

    Its not that you're not welcome, I'm just curious!

    Think motorist's habits are very much in mindset at the mo

    Wonder how many accidents this weekend with the showers bringing the oil out of the hot tarmac post-heatwave?Even heard AA cautioning drivers to keep their distance, so I reckon they are bracing themselves...sorry gone OT

    Word getting out....

    I think they were looking to charge people to post there, and it seems to have all ended in tears.

    I had to quickly move the BMW forum and notify members. Very long story!

    I read the original thread before the forum got shut down - best of luck with all that!

    just in case anyone was wondering - its now at www.bmw-board.co.uk
    The club managed to transfer the domain without my knowledge and despite the fact that I paid for it! Its getting very dirty as Im the first person to have given the two fingers to the clubs committee - everyone else just bends over for them!
