Ironic part is that Fummins was a very active forum member. When he finally purchases a Mirage of his own, he then decides to become less active or disappear. I'm sure he has his reasons, & I respect that I guess.
I miss his humor, knowledge of the Mirage, & his willingness to explore/share anything concerning the Mirage. I hope he returns some day!

I didn't always have the same opinions on everything as Fummins, but we became friends, and I learned a lot about my Mirage through him.
Doesn't seem fair he is gone, but life is full of curve balls like that. I'm glad he's doing ok!! and he can forgive me for my drama that was mostly from the lens of beer googles as he knows!
Cheers to Fummins, and his different and unique perspective on Mitsubishi Mirage's.

Judging from some of the posts, sounds like there's more to it than "busy having a life". It's a shame, because anytime you lose the input of a professional mechanic whose job it is to maintain a fleet of the car your forum is dedicated to, that's a data (and humor) loss.
Regarding your 285k, I will admit your sporadic posts of routine maintenance and not much else influenced my decision to buy a 5 speed Mirage. Over 250k with no major repairs sealed the deal.

I think alot less pearl clutching and a more libertine stance on whats posted on here could potentially bring Fummins back? I have a whole slew of inappropriate Mirage related memes at the ready Captain. Waiting for permission to commence with anti pc woke bombardment.

Fummins isn't banned. He's simply not posting. This is a worldwide forum that discusses our little car and it should be a place that whether you are a man, woman, teenager, anyone should be able to participate without being bombarded with posts that would be offensive. If that's a burden or too high of a threshold to participate then ok. Most forums are pretty nasty places due to the devolvement of discussions. We should concentrate on discussions about our favorite little car.

All of our discussions end up circling back to cars one way or another. I rather enjoy the fact that we can get into an 8 page deep esoteric discussion on the merits of truck nutz. Ive come to look upon you as my online family because of your opinions on cars and life in general. Perhaps a single thread dedicated to whatever goes would be fun and lure Lord Funmins back into the fold? I miss his wit. Can someone please email him?
