Welcome, I joined this site not long after buying my Ford I was a member for two to three month's earlier of another Ford site FF & that has also got some good stuff on it (but I find no where near as good as AFF IMO & the post's it get's are often slow in coming & can sit there for a couple months without movement) maybe coz its a US site with an Aussie sub section. Warning this site is addictive lol & enjoy.

I defected with everyone else when this site started.

Bored at work one day so I googled FORD and this site came up (amongst others). Had a bit of a look around and liked the place so I joined up and have been loving it ever since.

Ryan · 25-11-2006, 09:24 PM

Not sure exactly. I think I was just looking at random car sites and typed in Ford and came across AFF.

Since being here I can seriously feel myself break away from Holdens and turning to Fords alot more.

I get that's just the effect, this site has. lol

You hang around Ford fans long enough, you become one yourself.

I came here cause a bloke called Gary to me to!

WizBang · 26-11-2006, 10:40 AM

I always had fords ,but found this site when looking for info on the focus when the wife wanted one .I do go on a perth site too apart from this one which is a small site ,but I know most of the poeple on there which I like .But on this site it's great as you said there is heaps to read and post up about and the way it's looked after (for the size of it ) is the best part too ,as you don't get too many clowns getting thru .

pecker73 · 26-11-2006, 04:53 PM

It was a condition of my parole release... Ordered to keep away from those 'other' web sites...

Stumbled across this one... And what dumb luck, I drive a FORD (legally purchased, of course)

Perana · 26-11-2006, 04:58 PM

vztrt · 26-11-2006, 06:42 PM

Was searching the net for a lower bar mesh for the XR (as I wanted a particular one) had to register to read the forums. Started reading some more stuff and got hooked.

LTD Ute · 26-11-2006, 06:58 PM

Migrated over ......and don't look much elswhere ever since, Nice place!

red_hotxr6 · 26-11-2006, 07:01 PM

Mainly because i like fords, i drive a ford and this is a ford forum, well hopefully any way.

xr8-200 · 27-11-2006, 12:23 AM

I was googling vairous Ford related topics and found this sight. The original reson I joined is so I could actualy see the pictures that people had posted and were talking (well typing) about as they didn't show up when I wasn't loged on to the site.

GXL078 · 27-11-2006, 09:05 AM

Well I was introduced to FORDS by an Italian guy at school when we were in year 8. He told me about this guy named Dick and his True Blue Falcon. My first Bathurst was '82 and I had to endure year after year of bloody Commodores winning. But I do remember watching the 1-2 finish on Channel 7 as an 8 year old.

As for posting pics, resize them to about 800x600 max and upload them to a hosting site like http://www.tinypic.com/ copy and paste the hyperlink that the site creates into your post on this FordForums using the "Insert Hyperlink" toolbar in the "Reply to Post" and presto.

thanks alot mate. my computer is alot faster so i re read what you posted and it worked exactly how you said to do it. thanks

xurbanx · 05-12-2006, 02:09 AM

Welcome to forums.

It easier to post upto account like photobucket and then just post the url link and pics are much bigger etc.

photn · 05-12-2006, 02:23 PM

i bought a fiesta and just stumbled on this site when searching. i only joined a quarter the way through this year and ive all ready met so many people. i used to be shy in posting, but now i post in the falcon section from time to time with no worries. Welcome dude. you should find that every1 here is extremely helpfull.

I couldn't work out how to get the parcel shelf out of my XB when I first bought it. So I found these forums (actually, the old FF.com forums back then). Glad I did, I've learnt heaps through them and met a few good people.

Welcome to the forums, mate.

Welcome to the forums, mate.

We want the "mouth open in the wind" avatar back (still my personal favourite)

TheSneakiness · 05-12-2006, 05:53 PM

Come over from FF.com, although I can't remember my old logon name...

I was looking for info on things to look out for on EA Falcons
