From previous experiences, I initially thought this would be another one of those bragging outlets for the top of the range owners.
How wrong I was. There is precious little of that and everyone is treated (almost) equally.
Yes there are a few flare-ups and a couple of personality clashes, but even then others pitch in to smooth it all over or change the subject.
I like the fact that once people get to know you a bit then the banter is merciless. As long as you are prepared to accept at least twice as much coming back at you this can be a great laugh.
The depth of knowledge, and the willingness to share it are amazing.
Again, in a previous life there was one forum member who knew everything, but his standard response to requests for help was "if you bring it to me I know what it is and it'll cost you £nnn"
In contrast, on here people seem desperate to save each other money. Even when there has to be a sale of some required part, there is always a 'forum price' to help people out.
I have made a lot of friends I've never met on here. Long may it continue. (Cos I don't actually want to meet you face to face you ugly bunch!!! :rofl: )
