You've summed it up well Loz......of course its nice to help others, I do it all day long in my job, and I see some very sad cases, you appreciate life more.
But this forum is different...I think in ways its broken several moulds on many levels.
Firstly, and unfortunately it was born out of adversity and frustration.
Secondly, that guys who actually suffered most out of the above, turned out to be the very types, who do put out a hand to help a fellow enthusiast.
Thirdly, we seem to have attracted more like minded guys to this forum and as a result, we seem to have a thriving and re-invigorated single marque online community which also thrives in the real world.
Fourthly, we welcome all....owners, ex-owners, soon to be owners and all those who hold the marque in high esteem.
Its a nice place to be...............end of.
