I personally love my time on here, like minded enthusiasts, good atmosphere and plus not everything is about cars, it's also extremely funny the banter which goes on, plus I have learnt alot from here, sure there is alot of advertising but tbh it dosen't really bother me, loads up fast and there is a mobile version for my phone and so I don't see any advertising.
I am on other forums as well but this one is the best user friendly site out of all of them.
As to the "other than Ford stuff" well I think this is a good thing, as much as I do like Fords I do like other cars as well and it's good to hear about them on here whether it be problems or just general discussions about them so as to wisen your own knowledge.
