Maybe because PF is just in existence to make money (certainly these days) and not just for enthusiasts like cliosport seem to be. Shame really

Its actually EXTREMELY simple.

Cliosport is a car CLUB. Not a WEBSITE.

I disagree, its not a shame at all, as the fact its now run properly with a big budget means your access to all the help and advice you need is more reliable and less likely to ever dissapear.

It will also grow faster as its better advertised, go and type a ford question into google and see how many Passionford links are the replies.

Where on earth is the shame in all that?!

You dont have to pay to access most of the stuff on here mate. £10 gives you the option to look at tits and muff in the mens room and to sell parts. Im not saying a goody bag will encourage people to join, but compared to the clipsport site £10 doesnt get you alot on here. I am a member of here because i wanted to support you when you 1st set it up, and now i am a memeber because i want to sell a few bits

I have just been on my sisters laptop reading this and it really is full of stupid adverts. I coulnd't believe it when there was an was an in the middle of the page advertsing some tacky, nasty gadget claiming 30bhp increase and MPG increase. Ok, adverts bring in money but there stupid adverts.

If I make a post to tell everyone my dog has been raped, ran over and stood on I will no doubt get an advert along the lines of 'Save your dog from being raped and buy him the Bone that he can use legally as a defense'.

This being a prime example. I and many others on here can do this for free. The exact same way they do it. Rip off adverts where we could have trader adverts, who are not rip off.

pf is still good though, the Clio sport site probably has a lot of support off Renault for them to get the merchandise.

It's a nice bit of bullshit, but usually a load of crap you don't really want, and you are paying for it ultimately.

Thats my point. Surely our way is better? The important parts for the enthusiast are all still totally free.
Personally i would, rather that than the info you need is £10 but you get a load of items your didnt want too...

£10 a year to sell your old parts to a big ford audience... Less than £1 a month, how much is it to sell ONE £10 item on Ebay now?
