haven't been here long, but it seems all-right to me.
people join for different reasons, and these are linked to the cars themselves. Let me explain, a forum for "new" cars will have devotees who will have bought them new and won't carry out any of their own maintenance. As the cars get older, the average owner will change and you will eventually get a mix of people who either want just to keep them running or who want to modify, etc. Then eventually, you'll be left with the people who are really devoted or who want to preserve the cars.
At the moment, we're right in the middle, so we have a mix of people all from different backgrounds. There's no way that they'd all get on in normal life, so it's perhaps unreasonable to expect them all to get on on here.
For reference, I joined to get access to people breaking cars and to buy bargains - I currently have five Omega Bs, three Omega As and a closely-related Holden to look after. And the supply of decent cars from breakers is beginning to dry up. I might also be able to help out some other people, mainly with the real technical and legal stuff ( I design vehicles for a living ). I fully expect everyone else to have joined for completely different reasons
just some ramblings, really
