To buy cheaper parts for my car from the for sale section and get ideas to make it better and fix it myself. Also to rant and rave to my throat is sore!

I chose the 6th option on the poll because its the closest to what I think. However, I dont hate everything else. But I also wouldnt drive anything else either.

But Im here because I love Ford motor vehicles. And enjoy talking with like-minded folks about it.

I love the "Big Boobs" section.

Poll needs a "I like Aussie Cars" option.

+1.

Also it started for the Cruisers for me in NSW. I wanted to join a forum who made a couple that appealed to me.
Now its more about reading people issues they experience with their Falcons and how can I learn from it...

Im not one eyed either as I have a Jeep atm and its one of my most fav cars of all time! Matching previous Fords atm.

I'm here for the gang bang.





By far one of the best places to get help when under the bonnet of your car, I own 3 Fords, one is an E series so I'm going to be asking many questions, lol.

There is also a hell of a lot of arguing going on here and I like to join in, LOL.

Worst poll options.

I joined because I was selling a Ford Escort Panelvan that was converted to a trailer.
I stayed because I like Fords, amongst other cars, and am looking at possibly purchasing a Ford soon.

By soon I mean eventually, been wanting to buy one for ages, but other priorities take my money.

Google search looking for answers to a car issue, had to join to get more info.

Glad I did, even though there are some interesting individuals who like to argue, just for the sake of it

I started out on the .com forums as I was looking for help with an issue on my project car (XD), ended up with another XD when I got my licence, then came across to here when Admin told LunaticSVT to shove it in December 2004.
Purchased my BA not long after, still haven't finished the original project XD, but I've been trapped here ever since.

Also, forum needed more girls.
