I've been known to organize rides and tours with BF members I've never even met in person before, and it's always been a rewarding experience. I was going to type in "pleasant", but it goes beyond that. I count some of the people I've met on this forum as great friends - even some of them that live several states away!

My BF account is from a decade ago, but I became a regular user in late summer of 2020, when I got the idea to refurbish my wife's beloved Bianchi. I got a lot of help, and it was a great experience. I'm totally hooked. This is a fun forum, friendly and knowledgeable.
Thank You indeed.

>> a similarly pleasant experience at PassatWorld.com, for all of us B5-era (1998-2005) VW Passat owners.
That's different.
The Passat is two-thirds Audi, and THAT experience welds friends together from mere misery and heartbreak.
Audis are evil, because so much about them is fantastic, and then there are some "engineering" "solutions" that ruin the whole thing for non-fanatic customers.
