But my thoughts about this site have been echoed by all the other members replies in this thread. I am a member of 5 different 4WD forums one of which is patrol4x4, this is where I found out about this forum-remember the locked gate saga? Since joining here I find it such an enjoyable place to be that I rarely visit the other sites now.
    I spend a lot of time on here helping people with their mechanical questions, and I do it because I enjoy it.
    A forum is just a group of people with a similar interest, and we have a great group here. I've met several members already, spoken to others on the phone, and I look forward to meeting more of you at future meet ups.

    Cheers to all.

    You are the pinup boy (not for looks though!! lol) of the people on this site and the reason they are here mate. Easy going, not 5 foot tall and 10 foot up themselves, helpful, respectful, and always wanting to have a two way conversation.

    Another example to put things in perspective - that trip when dhuck first came out with us: long story short, things turned to sh!t as the afternoon wore on with 2 of the 5 cars suffering mechanically - one of them being dhuck's. But there was absolutely zero panic, dhuck had never met us before and lived a bloody long way away. He stayed with us to assist myself with my brothers car (which was dead) and came back to my mates joint where we proceeded to work on the cars until about 10pm that night (over a couple of coldies of course). No stress, no drama, and a true acceptance that this stuff just happens, so let's all work together to get it sorted - just another example of the type of quality, genuine people on here (all I've met seem just the same). Could've cracked the sh!ts and gone on about it (he had a cracked transmission case leaking everywhere), could've said "all the best, but I've gotta get out of here and sort my truck", etc - but instead chose to stay, look over my brothers rig, work on his rig, did I mention have a few coldies? LOL, and go out of his way to assist. Again, we'd only met for the first time that morning, so he certainly wasn't obligated to hang around.

    That is the difference for me - nothing to do with a bunch of words on a computer screen, it's the actions of people that define them, and in most situations reveals them, and from what I've experienced thus far, I want to meet more people like that, and I reckon I'm in the right place to do so.

    I like it, I love it, I more of it!!!!!

    This can all be summed up in a few short statements:

    1: We are friendly
    2: We are a community
    3: We are a family (of sorts) Patrol family
    4: We are a friendly family community (can't help myself on being repetitive on this one)
    5: There is fun to be had and friends to be made (as Bigrig has stated)
    6: We are a friendly family community of fun friends (again can't help myself)

    Cheers to all who frequent this forum. I do not say alot, but I am here several times a day. I am sorry to say "this is a bloody great forum".

    Thanks
