It was a really pleasant chat, and it’s cool to see who’s behind a nickname
 
Unfortunately, it was a short but exciting virtual bonfire. Tomas and I talked about the following:

  • the BF Goodrich Trail Terrain T/T tyre,
  • skid plates (I was able to organise a promo code
    XC70_OVERLANDER10
    for 10% off at www.hexprotect.de, they have free shipping to most European countries)
  • Offroad vehicle, pricing and production time.
  • -the reason for the lack of people attending the OB VB

We created a survey to determine which day would be better to get more people involved or if a pre-planned agenda would help.
What do youse think?

Hej guys,
I unfortunately don't use what's app much and missed the startup of campfires again. Fingers crossed that I remember next week.

Todd.

Hi Todd,

Looking forward to see you at the virtual campfire again!

Greetings from Morocco,
Bjoern

@XC70_OVERLANDER Thore came up with the idea recently to see if it makes sense to set the date for the virtual campfire to another weekday. It seems, that many member probably don't have time on friday evenings. We'll just try it now on thursdays evenings and only once a month and see how it works.

I have changed the dates in the RP accordingly. So the next virtual meetup would be next thursday, 29th Dec (before christmas most people probably don't have time for it anyway).

Let's try it that way! Feedback and ideas are as always welcome!

Talk to you next week,
Bjoern
 
I apologize for bailing on you guys. I was looking forward to this coming meetup but just noticed the date has changed. I should be able to attend.

That's great! We are always happy about participants. This online meetup is not limited to Europe and all members are welcome! Glad that you plan to join us next week.

Talk to you soon,
Bjoern
