The Nissan Pathfinder Off Road Association (NPORA) is a website founded in 2000 for enthusiasts of the Nissan Pathfinder SUV. It began in the Pacific Northwest, as a small Nissan Pathfinder enthusiast club and later expanded in the United States and Canada, and later gained popularity in Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
History
NPORA was founded by Jim Bennett of Marysville, Washington. Bennet's original Pathfinder, was lost in a divorce and later located in a salvage yard; NPORA members in every corner of the world all donated cash, time, and materials to retrieve the Pathfinder (MrJim as he is known online). A local group of members all traveled to Arlington, Washington and purchased the Pathfinder. They transported it to a shop where they completely restored it to new condition and then presented it to MrJim at the 1st Annual MrJim Run, which was held in Tahuya, Washington in September 2009, and has been held annually subsequently.
