I noticed that too Dan.

I bought my Mini 17 years ago and soon thereafter joined this forum.  A thoughtful neighbor brought me newspaper articles about the last Mini leaving the production line.  It was about this time that I bought a replacement boot lid for my car from Mike E. (MiniMike1).

It doesn't seem possible that so much time has passed.
