Like it too.

Just a bit of nit picking;

"you" should read "your" on the 3rd line.
Not sure if I like "Miggy", (each to their own I guess).
& the suggestions/problems line doesn't read right to me.

Otherwise excellent  :y

I think it's great but you should move it from Board Topics to Important Topics under Ronnie's Welcome or by it will fall into obscurity very soon.  Nice 1 Tim.  I also think you should leave the typos in cos then newbies know its ok not to worry about spelling, grammar or paragraph 24 line 6!

Well done Timbuk :y very welcoming

Just one minor suggestion if you dont mind, were it say -

General Help is for asking question when your Miggy goes wrong or when you need to know anything mechanical about your car. Technical Info, Faq's and Maintenance sections are all related to this topic and are well worth checking first before you post in this section as your answer may already be in one of theese sections.

It may put people of asking again if  they dont undersatnd the topic written.

How about adding - But if you are still not sure dont be afraid to ask.

I know you mention it at the end, but think it would be worth mentioning it there to. I know, I'm still worried about covering old ground. :y Only a suggestion, great job.

Excellent work Doug :y I didn't realise you were so literate  ::) ;D
