End of the road on the 15th Sept 2021

[macabethiel]

Hi Folks my membership here ends this month - I have not owned a Nissan Terrano r3mR since 2013 so my days here are close to the end.

I did during my r3mR ownership find this site very helpful I joined in 2008 when the site was much more active - even when we bought our Jeeps WJ & WK there were a few fellow Jeep owners here who helped me sort out problems.

I think back to the day when members here raised a fair bit of cash to help a member repair his Auto Terrano- that act gives a flavour of the characters that have present & past made up this site.

I will of course miss the regulars here but as the site has not diversified as I hoped it might to cover other 4 x 4 brands this will probably be my last post. Then of course we have the likes of FB & U-Tube to contend with.

I'm 73 now - I spend my spare time either Fishing or restoring my Honda CB400/4 Super Sport I am a pretty active member on the UK sohc website.

My best wishes to the long standing members here it's been a privelege to know you all.
My e-mail is macabethiele@gmail.com
Cheers Ted

Whilst I understand your reasoning, it is still a shame to see you go.

Look after yourself and good luck with the restoration.

Cheers Colin.

Ted we have not always seen eye to eye but I for one value your input, I offered to pay your sub in the past and offer it again, I think the long standing members on here are worth the effort and just hope that we can diversify, we accept that it is not just a 4x4 forum but a family that has a vast range of topics to comment on, so there has to be a way of keeping it going, I have learnt so much from members on here as well as contributed, we cannot just let it drop by the wayside, Rick

I'm sad to say I'll probably fall off the list next renewal too.
There's just not enough actual 4x4 modification going on for me.
As for diversifying well hell yes, get it on.
I notice alot of bullshit spam posts of late. Can they be banned?
Good luck Ted 👍 makes me think of Father Ted 🤪

I have been on the Forum for a while now, not always as active as I would have liked. I have used Terrano mainly for towing and during my military career, commuting from various airfields back not my home in West Cornwall. Terri (1 to 4) have nearly always been well behaved, getting me home in comfort even when the the route to the A303 was flooded above the door sills at the Podimore The closest I have gotten to "Mud Plugging" has been forays across the Marlborough Downs, the ranges at Larkhill and Lulworth and playing in the old quarry on top of Portland.
The reason for this drivel is to say reading about you serious off roaders and viewing your projects has been fun. Many is the time I have imagined cutting cross country in my jacked up, massive wheeled Terri when stuck in holiday traffic on a Friday afternoon.
I have learned lots, from the variety of people on here and find it sad as the numbers drop. I have no objections if people wish to expand the 4x4 section to talk about non Nissan vehicles . I have found that a lot of my engine problems are shared across the Troll section (ZD30) having more in common with them than the 2.7 or even the petrol version .
My Terri is going to be with me till the end, she has only done 67,000, I am slowly stripping of the interior and exterior trim and rust proofing everything. I will start a "my project thread" with the vehicle getting cleaner and neater rather than to normal brutalising that goes on. I even increased my wheel size form 16 to 17 inch
