We should almost split the Ohio forum now..
Its hard trying to keep the Cinci crowd out of here.. They are just glorified Kentuckians.
Just kidding.
If everyone is so concerned about the loss of the forums traffic or lack of enthusiaum in "meets" or whatever.
Then you need to give people a reason to go and join us. Lets have scheduled monthly gatherings. CLE/COL/CIN can all have their own. Then maybe twice or three times a year lets have a good Ohio gathering. The local gatherings dont have to be a big event, just a reason for everybody too see each other, meet new members and get a beer or 4.
Everybody talks a good game, but there isnt much action. I know everybody has commitments and families and whatever, but since when have you needed a reason to see your friends or go for a drive.
If we try and it fails, then we at least know to give up. At this point we have no idea. Scoots is right, its not the same as it was even when I joined 4 or 5 years ago. Maybe we open it up to meeting other clubs in your local area, not just cars with H badges. Z-owners or Z4 owners. Who ever. P-cars.. Lotus.. whoever Some of those clubs are so small, they wouldnt mind being included in a car scene like ours that has so many more resources and enthuisists involved.
Just because we drive one of the best cars ever made, doesn not mean we need to be elitests. We can socialize with "the other guys" too.
