i have also noticed the amount of people reading and not posting. but small amounts of good information is much better than 10 posts saying it needs be lower etc.
uk-mkivs had a lot more members who sat on there pc and paying other people to do there cars whereas on here everyone is busy updating there own threads after spending 3 hours after work welding there car.
