Not sure if the PF rule makers are aware but I've actually done safety cover for people on the board before for free, and also if you check the website you'll see that the last page details the non commercial side to my business, an MSA Unit that is a volunteer unit who do Rescue cover for a donation toward our costs, this year alone we are also doing cover for 9 events for free as we're donating our fee to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance. We are a new MSA Volunteer Rescue Unit and as some of the guys on PF compete in Rallying we may have got some bookings though them? The event we are covering for the Ferrari Owners club, which is also for the Air Ambulance, came about through us mentioning on another forum about us.

My website was on my sig to let people know what we do, I get enough money through the commercial side of things (I darent mention my limited company name), and as every Ford mag uses me I don't need to advertise on here to get them. The post was genuinly as I'm proud of the website I've made up and wanted feedback, it also has someone from PF on it.

Exactly why I don't come on here anymore, to get a message saying "You have received an infraction at PassionFord" woooah Dudes, kinda serious wording don't ya think? I know moderators have a job to do but there's other less aggresive ways to deal with things, how's about the old talking thing people used to do? OK, So my commercial business makes a nice income from doing some awesome stuff, but it's not exactly like I'm selling cossie parts at knockdown prices is it?

No worries though, not wanting to jump on a bandwagon, but when people say "it aint what it used to be on here" I think the answer's obvious.


Hence why this is the first time I've logged in ages. Since when did all this "discipline" come about on here? That said I think if this post is still here in the morning could be interesting?lol
