It used to be handy when something was raised here, and you remembered it had already been done on old FF, so could go back & find it... Apart from that, it lost it's "personality" 2 years ago!

Ever since that whole Laminge run in, that site became boring almost instantly. I was there reading the first posts, before the main thread, about Laminges plans for his car, and thoroughly enjoyed watching this beast become a reality... All i had to do was check it ever month, catch up on the last 10 pages posted during my absense and I was happy as larry...

When that thread got deleted, as John thought that he would try his hand at being the next Sadam, and before I eventually got around to catching back up and reading about the finished product, I got majorly ticked off and so lurked here and at the xr6t forums for a while; until eventually joining.

That was definately the start of the down turn for me, it was at that same time that this site started infact if I remember correctly....

john, the other places owner was a self-righteous git. only his opinion mattered and if you posted anything that contradicted his way of thinking, he would cut you down, call you names (little girl was his favourite i think) and generally carry on like some spoilt ba5tard. if you didnt agree with him, you were ill-informed, stupid or some sort of communist. if you continued to disagree, you got banned. good riddance to the fat f**k.

Life is too short to have enemies.
We started this site and left him to do his thing there.
That it ended up like this is sad but part of the harsh reality.

True Russ, but he did this to himself and ИИИИed a lot of people off in the meantime.
