We are not competing with FF. we offer a similar thing from a different angle.
Some people preffer a more localy based forum, with more local interaction and a tighter group of members than on somewhere like FF, were you're just a number really.
I'm not going to get into the politics of the whole thing, but basicly, while there are many great reasons FF is a useful tool, there are alot of reasons why people are put off using FF. this is part of the reason i see somewhere like FS as equally important.
ask yourself this, when was the last time FF organised any meets in scotland?, all, and i mean ALL of the events north of the border in the past few years i am aware of were organised by FS members. FF are only interested in having a presence in the big events like the italian car day up north. That's fair enough imo, but without somewhere like FS, most Scottish members would be completley isolated from events because there's pretty much no focuse north of newcastle!. Events in Scotland would die out or at least severly drop in numbers without a more local forum doing the bulk of the organising.
We also have the advantadge of more localised advice, where to get parts, where to go for servicing etc. also potential help from nearby memmbers. while this also happens on FF, it happens to a far smaller extent than on here. Due to its sheer size, FF is somewhat impersonal. some people may preffer that approach, some may not.
