As I type there are 15 other users online...

What are you looking at?

How can we drum up some more traffic here?

for me its a social place where I can talk to other people with interest in metro's.

right now I am looking in the tech section to see if someone has asked questions I can help with.

I don't know. It seems like you are doing a lot of the right things, attending shows, arranging meets, voluntary advertisement in e.g. the metro section of mg-rover.org

I use it for the Tech section and sale threads. Facebook is full of people asking the same questions and selling crap.

I think we are all guilty of not updating our journals

I like the forum format, and the info on here is priceless
It would be good to recapture the days of old forums where there was always several threads on the go ranging from idle bo££0+s to full on heated technical discussions usually ending in a fight of some sort.
At least now more people are making reference to "forums" we may start to see a shift back in the future?

I'm here for the knowledge, technical information, advice and comradarie.

Its a pretty lonely thing being a Metro enthusiast here in NZ. I'm not even sure which car clubs to consider joining, because the Metro is a bit of a Bstard child.

Long time since I've posted on here! Getting bored of the wasters and muppets on the FB group, may have a bit of resurgence on here and update my journals, and to get a break from the FB dicks.

I'm close to leaving the Facebook page.. only thing it has going for it is the face that this forum is quiet! If there was more activity on here I definitely would be gone!

I've not been on for ages myself, but there's no depth to Facebook, the forums are much better to follow and learn things. It's a shame because Facebook is killing forums left right and centre.

Bit of a thread dredge, but seeing as I haven't been on here in a while (proper job, small child, moving house etc)... I figured I may as well.

There are a few Metros in NZ, mainly MGs that have survived as the Austins were never that sought after. I am a member of MGCC in Auckland, there are a few Metro owners in the club up here.
