I think the reason people stay is we are a bit of a family. Not everyone see's eye to eye and there are the odd falling outs but we all get on as a rule. I don't think the community spirit is replicated on any other forum.

We also seem to have a wealth of knowledge about other marques and we don't suffer as heavily with the blinkers as some marques (*cough* Subaru *cough* BMW) and their forums.

Thres a LOT of people who mean the world to me on this site, and they dont live just round the corner its nice to come on here and have banter with them, as well as keeping in touch x

BUT its also the busiest forum im a member of, no matter what time it is day or night there is ALWAYS someone online

On top of that out of all the people who come on this site i have yet to meet one (well ok i met a few but they aint even worth mentioning) that I dislike....everyone is up for having a laugh...and you can ask ANYTHING and there is ALWAYS someone to help you out, the sites full of knowledge

LOVE the site, people on here sooo helpful, soooo much knowledge and info from people who are willing to share as well...

I always ask on here if I'm buying anything like stereo, cameras, printers, laptops etc...

TOP site

AND of course If you wanna buy ANY car from a yugo to a Ferrari there is someone not only willing to help on here but with all the facts and experience

Not tooo many Ford blinkers either which is great

Big thanks to Stu and Pet.

Especially Stu... you will NEVER meet a nicer more understanding bloke and its his easy going attitude and understanding that has made PF the site it is.

As said i dont come on here just for cars, But also other things as usualy you can get the answer to most things you ask! lol

This site is cool, made some VERY good freinds over the years after being on this site. Also seems more of a chillied out laid back forum than most car forums which are heavily moderated and seem to just want to concertrated on one subject!

I dont really use many BB's much as i just find them boring but this site is cool and had me hooked for 6 years now with the RS bb etc

Yeah agree with you there Porkie, it seems people with Cossies appreciate other cars, but Cossies dont get the appreciation they deserve, sick of hearing about how old they are .

Dont own a Cos anymore but love them

Because it has a fantastic community of petrol heads first and foremost (whatever we drive ), loads of helpful people who'll bend over backwards to help you out.

Each and everyone of us contributes something to the community wether it be advice, humour, general chit chat about current affairs etc.etc.

Everyone take a pat on the back

Oh, and has a great webteam with sensible moderating, and a great webmaster always fine tuning things and responding to what members want . Yes there's the odd moments, but everyone's human.....

Funny thing - look how many people in your mobile you met through PassionFord - it'll be more than you think in most cases.

Like the use of the term "community" - spot on IMO

Look at me, i don't drive a ford, never been passionate about them, only ever had a mondeo and fiesta as runabouts.

But i feel welcome here even though i drive a vauxhall Its not about the badge, its about the people and the mechanical side of things
