So,
Recent events have created a curiosity that I want to try out.
I'm asking you all How did you come to become members of and by extension the NWC?
How'd you get started, what attracted you to , why did you keep coming back?
Please be candid.... Its kind of important.
I'll go:
I used the tech forums for troubleshooting issues with my 89. One day I got an alignment and they said the front axle tube was bent. So I posted 2 help posts 1 on CF and 1 on in the NWC. Out of maybe 6 people that said they'd show up Dave (glue-n-tape) was all to show up. Having never met me before he drove to Vancouver from Beaverton to help me swap my axle over to a non disco axle. and drink beer and eat pizza. He showed me a lot of how to get stuff done on the xj. At the end of the day he hooked me up with some shafts on the cheap and told me about a meet n greet. I showed up at the M&G with Beth and we were welcomed into the group and made to feel very welcome. Everyone was friendly so I started becoming active on the forum and started going on runs. I owe it all to the NWC having members that went out of their way for me and made me feel welcome.
