Default How did you come across PassionFord.com?

I used to be a regular poster on FiestaTurbo.com and one night there was a link to PassionFord.com. The link had been posted as there was a massive argument going on on here about who's car was better, Sunny's 178 MPH Fiesta or a certain MK2 Escort. Well obviously being a Fiesta fan I came on here with the intention of giving Sunny a bit of support and the MK2 owner a bit of stick. One night on PassionFord and I was hooked and I haven't left ever since!

Unfortunately the original thread that brought me to PassionFord was lost in one of the crashes.

I rarely use FiestaTurbo.com now and I truly believe that this is one of the best car forums on the web.

So how did you come across PassionFord.com?

I came across it shortly after the RSOC BB went offline, I had a few people posting on my forum and we learnt about PassionFord via MSN

Richard PON pointed the site out to me and I registered and had a look. Couple of weeks later I suffered a neck injury which kept me off work for 2 months. With nothing to do I started looking more and posting and became hooked.

I'm a member of several forums but PF is by far my fave.
