Just wondering. how does your new forum differ to this one, and what do you hope to get out of it?

1. make forum thats better than boards
2. ???
3. profit

RoundyMooney

I do be thinking that step one is the hardest to overcome.

colm_mcm

why bother? I presume most users on Boards use more than one forum, and wouldn't log into a similar, smaller forum to discuss the same topics with fewer people.

Boards started off small. I am trying to use my experience in the motor trade to help people like you.

I object to the manner in which you are pushing this site (spamming threads and PMs)
Site ban requested!

I am sure at 1 post it was Ireland's biggest quake board...

I reckon if someone who is a Boards user needs to know something about motors, they just drift over here, get their answer, without signing up to a new site. You're more likely to get an answer on a big, established site, than on a small one.
Maybe I just don't see what you want to do, but the site seems to offer nothing new. there are quite a few people in the motor trade on Boards, and there are also many specialised forums out there for specific brands.
If you're just advertising on other forums, how do new users find you?

Centre Of Motors, I'm in the auto trade since i was 15 as a apprentice panel beater, i'm not saying that i know it all about cars but i can give people a pretty good idea. I've also signed up to Midnightclub and Driver, and none of them offering anything diffrent.


I'm a Boardsie, for now and forever, also you wouldnt pimp another site on MC or Driver.

How about an "Should I buy an Alfa and driving without my L Plates and unaccompanied on a motorway ?"... thats 1000 posts straight off....

colm_mcm

also using rear foglight (if it works)

.. and exceeding the limit cause it's ok on the motorway

........... Its not the fast lane, its the overtaking lane''

So to be clear...


I am an learner driver (got my 1st license last week) and I plan to drive in the overtaking lane of the Motorway while unaccompanied, with no L plates and with the flog lights on, would an Alfa 156 on NI plates (don't want to pay vrt) be a good car for this ?

quarryman

anyone have an issue with VRT?

I do, I don't pay it. It's illigel and a rip-off and road tax is a rip-off here considering the state of the roads.

''Recomend me a car''

FFS that one will take you up to Christmas!!

I didn't know there were any benefits from owning a Skoda except basic A to B motoring. They have to be one of the most bland uninspiring car manufacturers on the market. I believe they're making a better effort with cakes these days.:)

I would agree with you.I think boards is the best forum website around.No one can beat it.

It might, but a 3 series might be better as indicating is optional.

I hear the Octavia has quite a big boot, and the 100 bhp models are actually 115 bhp, just they don't tell you. and they do 98mpg even when you drive them hard. Apparently.

Should I put 20" chrome rims on my 1L Corsa or would 19s be more suitable for Irish roads (when I'm drunk in the overtaking lane over the speed limit unaccompanied on L plates with my foglights on and stereo pumping and baseball cap at whatever degree)?

k thanx

I know it's a bit OT, but you were dead right about the A8.;)

ds20prefecture

So, guy comes on offering a link to a site where he gives mechanical advice. Gets banned. Link gets removed. Our resident members of the motor trade then pull the piss.

Classy stuff, you should all be proud.

well i would have been here sooner to comment, but i was at the M50 Toll in the queue for exact change, and realised when i got to the change basket, i didnt have any change. Doh

Well in fairness DS he did come on here as if he never read any of the posts here and certainly gave me the impression we were all half wits. With the " I am a qualified motor mechanic" bit and the "I have being posting on lots of different forums and non of them have people in the motor trade, and i will change this" kind of attitude. He would have been better off if he came on boards and offered his help and advice like lots of others do on here and if he decided to set up on his own I don't think anyone would object and might even follow him there. The impression I got is we're all a bunch of Muppet's over here who know f**k all about anything so come over to my forum and I'll tell ye all what ye want to know about cars. Just my opinion by the way.

colm_mcm

what he said.

crosstownk

I'll third junkyard's post. That's the impression I got when I read the first post.

old boy

whats the betting he is either drunk or stoned or maby a bit of both, but then he may know little about anything (motors) or feck all about nothing.
