Used to read BON, then AFF was born, before that I had an EA and shock horror had issues. Met some good people and stayed.

Its the only car forum I really visit as it covers most bases, jump on some alfa ones now because of the GTV but always come back here.

for me I'm a ford man through and through

but the way that I found AFF was
.
.
I was driving along Grey street in melbourne and saw a few very nice looking ford gt's ( never found out who they were ( ( this was back in the early days here ) that had ford forums stickers on them and had to see what it was about and here i am even after my trials and tribulations

Bought AU falcon, wanted to fix her up and pump out some better numbers at the treads... Mr Hardware introduced me to AFF, that was about 3 years ago now.

Came for the cars, stayed for the people. Made some great connections and friendships through AFF.

E-Series have their fair share of issues. Didnt really know too much when I joined, but have learnt a lot, especially the common failures to look out for, how to diagnose issues and also how to fix the issue on an e-series...

Should've finished off the sentence before posting.
