Was looking for a lower grill for the old BA and stumbled on here.
Pretty sure there is an old thread about this.

Was looking to buy an EF/EL Fairmont. A mate was trying to talk me into getting an AU, which at the time I didn't like that much. He linked me to aufalcon.com to show me how awesome some of the cars looked on there.
Not long after, I signed the papers for my AU, and joined the forums between signing and taking delivery. And the rest, they say, is history. Now my main contribution to the forum is a love for VN Commodores seldom shared by others! haha

Bought a Territory and then bought an AU ute as well.
Was looking for a forum to join and found this one via Google back then.

Googled for a list of things to check when buying a used car.
Found a thread that someone had made. Good work to whoever made it. |

I own a Ford Cougar and a Ford Explorer - according to some, I must have lost my mind twice!! I'm very happy with them both for different reasons and I've found a lot of very knowledgeable people on this forum. Obviously there are others out there that like to drive something just a little bit different!
Cheers |

I slipped, cracked my head on the keyboard and AFF popped up! Still banging my head on the keyboard some days.
Seriously, Jack was a member on here and after awhile I joined.

Years ago I won an auction for an XB sedan and I signed up here looking for information, etc.
The sale fell through, but a couple years after that I bought my XC sedan and realised my account was still active here.

I originally joined up as "WeHaveIgnition" back in 2006. I closed that account due to low self esteem issues. I opened my current one in 2009.
I originally joined after purchasing my first XR8 & wanting to become a part of the Ford community. |

I was looking for a BA XR6 as my first car and wanted to know more about them. The google search eventually led me here.

At the time I was interested in the BA falcon, and wanted more info on new XR6 Turbo. Did a search and found this site, joined and have been sucked in since...

A friend's father bought an XY GT and I thought, 'Bloody hell, that looks fantastic' and I gained an appreciation for the older Ford models then and there...
I loved the look of the BA when it came out back in 2002 (incidentally, I thought the VY look crap at the time) as well. Most people at school were Holden people, so as I usually tend to be, I was against the grain.... I probably wanted to gain a greater appreciation of Fords on the whole and probably stuck Ford Forums in Google or something and here I am posting more crap. But it's a well-run forum...very well run that offers a lot to members...

Started experimenting with XP and XM, that led to indulging in XW and XY, now I'm on AFF.

Any time I google any ford specifics trying to solve my own car problems, one of the top results is always an AFF post. (eg: EB Falcon valve seals) Only in depth ford fan sites such as this would have all these keywords in one sentence.

I do remember some elements of the old FF.com being good fun though, the Asylum section for one & the rather "spirited" discussions in the Cleveland section, usually Davis vs The Rest Of World
