I think that splitting the MK group off from this one is a really bad move, both for this group as a whole, and for MK in particular.

At present, we get a lot of people who come here wanting to build a 7-alike, but don't know what to buy. They usually get the feel of what's good and bad by reading the posts and listening to recommendations (usually, MK or Luego).

Now the MK stuff has gone to a semi-closed group that displays nothing unless you're a member. If I was a newbie I'd follow the link, realise that I had to register, and end up saying "stuff it". (that's what I did ).

Very sad.

So do I - but I would

Don't worry - I'll do something about it!

Chris

...Just so long as we don't have another war, like we did with TOL!

DJ

the last time i looked it was a free country

Does this just refer to the forum on the MK Owners club site, because of so as far as I can see there are no messages on there yet - I haven't registered so far though so may be missing something.

you have to register to get stuff up. not hard though, not sure if non MKs are technically welcome but im sure they wont mind!

nobody implied it wasnt a free country. though it isnt really.

Sorry to say i had my link removed,so i'm not allowed to advertise the mk forum.

never mind its not life threatening and i think i'll cope

lets not throw are dummies out of are
prams kids just because the mk owners
club has a forum it's about helping people
and not bitching about stuff that dosn't
matter i dont think it will take anything
away from this most excellent forum it's
just another forum after all
and it is a free country until you knock a
coppers hat off and poke him in the eye
so there

i think most people who come here will still check here, and people who are interested in MKs will go there as well. People who buy kits will maybe get pointed to the new forum, i suppose its nice to have a specific owners club.

i would suggest each site mention the other, then everyone can come to both forums if they want. Both sites have obvious advantages, namely being specific and being non-specific respectively!

allswellasendswell... 'swot i always say.

IMHO - I don't normally sign up to anything on the web (current forum accepted).

Using unique ID's potentially alienates the very people to whom the website is targetting, kind of defeats the object in the first place.

The more knowledge there is in the ether, the better we all are surely, whether it is on one forum or another. The more complex the process the lower the market. If you don't like it - don't use it. The customer decides!

Hi All

The MK Forum was put up primarily for MK club members but anyone is welcome. It was never our intention to alienate anyone or detract people from using this board.

This board is fantastic and i see us all as one big happy family and i thank ChrisW for doing such a top job and making all our lives a little easier and more fun.

I just wanted to put my side in seeing as it was me who set up the forum. The last thing i want is to get into a childish argument with people. That would ruin a great hobby and to be honest would not be worth continuing. The freindships i have made is half the fun and i would hate to have that ruined.

SO..lets just all get on with it and enjoy what we do.

Thanks

Andy

Nicely put Andy,i'm back in the garage now

Bob

Seeing as you are back in the garage, does this mean you will be finnished before me?????

I have put my new fuel tank in and so far (touch wood) it has not leaked! I have also bolted the seats in and thecar is back on the floor.

I think everyone should take bets on who finishes 1st!!

See you Sunday

Andy

ah seats bolted in,your ahead then

Donut,

Your not using a wooden fuel tank are you

Hi CariB

LOL...no not a wooden one but i think it must have been a vegetable tray at some point cos it had a big leak in it...get it!!!LOL

The new tank is firmly fitted in and as yet not leaked (touch wood again!!)

Andy

Drove my car out the garage and back in (about 20 times!!) today! It wheelspins realy easily!!! I have found a weird electrical faul though but Jason is on the case!! bless him!
Andy

As you said to me earlier mate, I think it was when you rested the new tank on the wiring that might have caused it to fail.
I'll bring me meter nxt time, and see what we can find

ATB
Jason

He's trying to electrify a fuel tank?

Remind me not to stand too near his car with a full tank on board....

I've been jumping up and down on my front end today, cos i finally got the springs on! used it as a trampoline in the interests of testing it thoughly... loads of fun. When i get the engine going im gonna torment the neighbours and blast it round the block!! lol

Andy, no wonder it wheel spins, the hill you're on with this weather!!

tut tut

Now that's a good idea!! I also thought of wiring it up to a battery....which way round does it go again??????????

Red to filler... black to sump/outlet if aluminium tank. If not just put jump leads down filler... this should have the desired effect.

WARNING - THIS WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED IN 4 DAYS TIME!!!
