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

RSOC BB was slow and run and modded by wankers, so soon as this site popped up, we all legged it to here quicktime.

that's how you can recognize the peeps that are on here since the very first day... because that's exactly how Stu brought up the first members on PF for the beginning

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.
