what is it about owning a frontera by weave67 on Sun Jan 11, 2009 9:45 am
that makes you willing to drive out to peoples houses,and work on there cars,or pick things up and drop them off,sell stuff cheap or even give it away,or put your trust in somebody you have never met to take you to the middle of the countryside,sleep in a tent,take you laning,and cook bacon baps and make tea ,or hang around pub car parks on sunday afternoons and talk about axle ratios and suspension lifts,or invite you into there homes for a coffee just because your passing,somebody tell me :?:

i think its to do with forums as you build a friendship up :D

its not just the enjoyment of frontera's but getting to know the folks that drive them
i can call drift a scouse git on here without ever meeting him in the flesh
but i would never think of going to liverpool and calling someone ive never met a scouse git

i get the same sort of comradeship on fishing forums
cheers

I would agree with John, ive only met 3 foggers to date, and they have been gems.
It seems to be because we love something in common and are willing to help each other.
Ive made lots of friends on here that i haven't met either, simply by giving advice as a mechanic. Or asking for advice myself. I also had Bobbins make me up 2 drawings of Braveheart and they are brilliant.
I love this place, its great.

Can't find the right bloody words!!!! I owe a lot to the people on this site, none of which I have met and when I'm in a position to I will pay you all back.

I've never known a group of people like it and am a better person for it :D

Re: what is it about owning a frontera by jmc on Sun Jan 11, 2009 8:10 pm
For me it was and is the design ,shape and colour of my lwb and the size of it and the feeling of being able to go places ,the feeling of it being a strong vehicle being able to pull and carry heavy things.I love the chunky switches, shelf dash, the green of the dash lights at night and the way the spots light up so much ahead .I do have to confess that being only 5'4 it feels great driving around in it, and it does give me a feeling of security. Just seeing it sitting there makes me feel good. I have yet to meet other fog members but I hope to at some stage.

FOG to me is an extended family, to my other half FOG is "The other woman" :lol: :lol: cos i spend so much time on the forum but i would be lost without you all. Owning my 1st fronty has been an education and i look forward to meeting those who have helped me since i've been here i've only met AndySD1 but he has been a real good friend is never patronising always willing to help if he can and i know that is what the rest of this great family is all about no matter where we all are, Wilton Knight always believed that "1 Man Can Make A Difference" but in our case 1 Group Can Make A Difference,

Re: what is it about owning a frontera by SPEEDBIRD 202 on Mon Jan 12, 2009 10:10 am
For me I always liked the shape of the Fronty and always wanted one. By chance I bumped in to a Fronty owner who was getting new tyres fitted at the same time as me. He told me about the Fronteras owners web site, when I looked at the forum I knew it was the right place for me to be.

Looking at the Forum and reading all the help and advice people where giveing made me go out and buy a Fronty.

Glad that I did, thanks to you all [A friend], and all the others. :D
