As a relative noob in comparison to the people who have already posted on the thread, I'd just like to say that i agree with the sentiments in this thread too.

When i joined the site, the first thread i posted i asked a question regarding paint codes and within a few hours i had links to online resources listing every ford paint code as well as people giving advice on good places to source the paint etc etc.

I can understand how people could mis-interpret certain relationships between members as cliquiness. if you see two similar threads one posted by a mate of yours irl and one by someone you dont really know, which one are you going to reply to?

I personally think of the few forums i go on this probably has less of a clique than most, and the community feel is pretty damn good especially the banter

All IMHO of course
