As a new member, I have to say, I thought I joined a car club...
Seems instead I enrolled on an episode of Jerry Springer with all the mother's meeting style bitching that goes on here! This is worse than some Jeremy Kyle episodes (although I assume none of you have illegitimate children with each other??)
Anyhow, for shits & giggles, I think I'll sit back and learn the club dynamics from the bitching, wonder why you spend hours just digging into each other, and then humouring myself as you all sit down and enjoy a beer with each other at one of the zed meets..
Car forums are peculiar places.. I think half the problem being you run out of things to talk about with each other when you're talking away online for a few hours a day.. I think if I had to talk to my wife for a few hours a day there'd be blue language and divorce proceedings to follow rapidly - same applies here (although you may enjoy talking to my wife for hours, but after 11 years of it, I quite enjoy the fact I only see her an hour or so a day!!)
Anyhow, just a newbie perspective.. All I'd say is if I didn't know a number of you in person, this bitchyness on an open forum would have left me as a non-paying member.
PS: Got to love good old forum writing.. ...................ramblings are true!!
