Can I just say. It’s a real pleasure being part of this forum.
So many members willing to share their experiences and divulge expert advice to benefit fellow enthusiasts.
It’s a privalage being part of this community.

And this bottle of single malt is going down very nicely.

I shall echo that. Those in the know are always very forthcoming and happy to put up with stupid questions from idiots with zero knowledge.... Oh... That would be me haha.

How's the head after the Malt ? How much of the bottle remains ? Cheaper than letting the RS drink I guess :P

A mate put me onto “old pulteney”
Really nice and very smooth.
About half of the bottle left lol

Its good that this forum is still relatively active with interesting threads and advice and banter

Most other forums i used the last so many years are all but dead now, with everybody moving over to FB pages and such

Oh, and slanj

I don't find FB works though - the whole structure of it is aligned to "look at me", rather than "let's fix this together" and "here's How To fix it".
FB is where I post pics of the kids for the grandparents to like.

I was just about to say it is getting a bit quiet in here! FB doesn't work for any kind of group discussion at all. It's dreadful.

Depends on who's broken what most recently I guess. If I do something I think might be interesting, I post a thread about it. But lots of the recent stuff I've not had much constructive to add. I still keep eye in here though, as I'm sure many others do.

Sadly the world we live in is all about boasting about how big your cock is to everyone else in the world.

We live in the worlds where it's the norm to spend 120k on a brand new RS6, then anything 50k to get 800BHP+ then post it all over social media for other people to stroke you off and tell you how great you are.

When it breaks, they have the cash to just take it anywhere they like and pay whatever is needed to get it fixed so they can go back to being stroked.

Keep the car for a year or so till something new comes along and when the stroking begins to fade away, they splash another load of cash on something new in order to get back the stroking they so dearly miss.

Sadly people like me that save and save in order to afford their dream car and then need help and input from others to find the best and cheapest way to fix it is dying off. Forums used to be great. This small section of this site appears to still have activity, but the other sections all seem rather dead.

Wonder how long it will last before this place vanishes :-(

Is this a fact? I've never looked at any of the other subforums - are they all dead?

Yeah, not very lively at all. Most go days and days without posts, sometimes weeks and months and some even years !

Perhaps there should be a thread for 'I drove my car today and it was absolutely fine' posts :)
