Bored one night I typed into google "Ford forum" for some reason, came up with this = Life changed forever.
But seriously though, I have learnt so much already from my short time here and we are all incredibly privileged to have this available to us! |

Came over from FF.com when stuff hit the fan over there.
You may also find this thread interesting, a lot of people have answered the same question in their replies: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11325840

It all started when I saw the new Wheels magazine for August in late July back in 2007. Its front cover featured an edited version of the leaked CGI pictures of the then up and coming FG FPV GT. So I decided to search in Google for more about the new Falcon and spy pic of test mules on the streets, I eventually came across this forum, although it did take a year for me to actually join though.

For me it was the fact that i used all the tutorials all the time, but also because i was actually amazed that i wasnt the only Ford crazy person in the world, and its good to feel part of a group =]

The other half and I were sitting at his place one arvo, he came across a post...about a woman drink driving...I (being on a moral crusade at the time), started my rants. I'm yet to stop.
I just read some of my earlier posts - funny stuff...

I used to post a lot on Motorsport forums, then had a search for a Ford one, I have been a 'Ford' person since the late '60's - early 70's.

When I bought my first EB I joined every Ford forum I could find - *************, FordMods, etc etc and this was just one of them.
Though I've only started posting here because of the classic section since Jan '11 when I bought an XB - I don't use any others anymore!

I was on the US FordForum, and got a bit of help there (from the Aussie members) so I migrated here when this site was created. Visit most days, but don't post much!

I have owned a ford since getting my licence (10yrs) but it wasn't until I got my ED that one night I typed ford forum into google one boring night. I had a query about a noise and the rest is history.

Was searching for BA modifications, and came across the FF modification guide. Couldn't believe how helpful the members are, so I usually frequent the advice central thread to help out where I can.

I'm another refugee from Ford Forums, was a member there since 2001, but I spent some time in the wilderness before coming here.

I too came from the FF.com website originally. I was there for 4 or so years. Then got told of the Australian version when the crap hit the fan over there. Been here ever since 2005.
