Another reason not to have a FB account. I keep waiting for one good reason, been well over 10 years now and still haven’t heard one!

 

 

Marketplace is its only good feature in my opinion but you do have to sort through a lot of cockwits and chancers to find the gold.

There is gold to be had though.

I'm really just there for the amusement. 

Every time a "How do i fit a T-5" or "How do i cut my car up to fit flares"  causes me uncontrolled laughter of the FB experts. 

 

Like i said ....... they just regurgitate the info from this site . Which is weird because if you Googled the info , it would lead you right back here ! lol 

 

FB will give you an almost instant answer ( unless you ask something obscure like "How do i set the dwell angle on my points?") even though the answer is probably incorrect. 

 

People seldom want answers these days , they just someone to agree with them .

It is a shame, but is the trend unfortunately.

Good information is getting harder to find.

20yrs ago there were forums and personal websites on everything, now do a search you get nothing but crap.

The real gold on Facebook is in the memes.

Anyone know if there is an opportunity to grab the content from aussiev8 at all, I'd be happy to host it on my collocated server at no cost as read-only to keep it going....

I don't suppose you grabbed the stuff that was hosted on Terry Walkers Place?  All of Wanneroo Raceways history in one place and now its gone.
