i think this site is great the reason i am here so much is because i have 24x7 web access aswell thru work so i use it to gain knowledge. if you think thats having no life then you need help.
i am on here between the hours of like 8 am and 4 pm because thats when i'm at work, i have a life out of here
i have no wife
i have lots of strife
i drive a dat
and thats all that matters

Im a poor student with an expencive hobby, one race coupe and one resto 2door, so I need all the free advice I can get, I don't have the time or the $$ to have to do things twice, thats why I frequent this site, you guys have saved me $100s and helped make my hobby stay alive.
cheers

I've been working on my club-life balance. Which is one reason I haven't been as active recently here in the club.

And I've actually been spending more time driving lately.

Me?, I only log in when I've something to say. Otherwise I'm lurking in the anonimous shadows.
Would'nt be surprised if there are others that do the same.

Yep I second that..In the shodows... mainly soaking up all the knowledge I can about these little cars. Its the old 80-20 rule though...20% do 80% of the work..

Don't get me wrong guys i was mainly refering to myself. As i dont work with computers yet im online around 3hrs a day. Mainly for all the reasons you gave (knowledge, Advice, Discounts) I'm pretty sure i have a life as i work the standard 40hrs a week then come home each night to my fiance and twin boys. But it was good to see different peoples inputs to the subject.

Actually, and I don't mean this as a put down, but the site has become so Australio-centric that I'm not able to contribute as much. That or I'm just lazy and looking for an excuse. Yeah, that's probably more likely.
I do check in every day and read the subject line of all new posts though.

i visit the site everytime im on the internet (not often currently as im doing my hsc) but i only log on once every month at the most

out of all the forum i visit, (i visit a few now as ive commited the unthinkable sin and baught an fj20et powered 1600) this is the one that is the most interesting, on other forums no one seems to talk much. i don't always learn alot about the fj or the 1600 but it is a great read and i still own my 1200 so the info will come in useful one day.

The site does seem to be overrun by our mates from down under but they seem to be most active 1200 owners. The site is quite good I have manged to figure out which direction to take my 1200 race car thanks to the site. The pokey as the car is known now doubles as a tarmac rally car and H-production Vintage Road Racer. I will have it respayed in the original orange by Christmas and will then have time to start on my 1200 powered Vinatge dirt tracker!!!!
Anyway back to the topic , I think those of in the States do need to get more active here.

I converted from a 1600 to a 1200 ute and i found this site while looking for info...
We have permanent net access where i work, so i check in quite often..
I'm always getting #### from my work mates who don't understand the attraction of the Dat...
