I've just recently joined another car club and their forum after buying another model of BL's finest and have to say I'm disappointed. One member acknowledged my new member post but then there has been no other activity for weeks. I must be spoilt with our club and how many people keep this forum active. Keep up the good work and topics everyone, I can't see the other club growing much. I won't be renewing that one next year. :(

I quite agree,my son has a Ka,and I've also got a golf convertible,no help from either forums I have tried. Ask for the dimension of a giggle pin on here and you'll have the answer in 24hrs max. Well done us.

I frequent some other forums, but mainly specialist ones that are non mark specific. Mostly for information and parts relating to current projects.

I found some places to be cliquy that were single car clubs. I'm proud that we are not, and I'm proud of that fact.

We've been a forum community since 2003/4 and have had some issues, but on the whole pretty good.
