Bored one night I typed into google "Ford forum" for some reason, came up with this = Life changed forever.

But seriously though, I have learnt so much already from my short time here and we are all incredibly privileged to have this available to us!

Same here, I think I'm number 320 on here, so a relatively early user.

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

Default Re: How did you end up on AFF?

It all started when I saw the new Wheels magazine for August in late July back in 2007. Its front cover featured an edited version of the leaked CGI pictures of the then up and coming FG FPV GT. So I decided to search in Google for more about the new Falcon and spy pic of test mules on the streets, I eventually came across this forum, although it did take a year for me to actually join though.

When I bought my first EB I joined every Ford forum I could find - *************, FordMods, etc etc and this was just one of them.

Though I've only started posting here because of the classic section since Jan '11 when I bought an XB - I don't use any others anymore!
