I look and read only, Jerry. I have to say that it does get annoying sometimes, when I jump on my Faecesbook account and I'm inundated with Land Rover 'Buy, Swap and Sell' items.

Anyone also on fb, more than welcome to send me friend requests

Both my daughters (19 and 16) have a desire to drive Jeeps, this may be influenced by making them ride from Airlie beach to Yass in two days in the back seat of a 130, however the real reason is that a functional and capable Wrangler can be had for 10 - 15K which is within their price range. If we had a huge number of unloved Defender 90s then a Land Rover might have been on their list but they don't see disco's as being a young person's car. Most of their mates drive various Japanese Utes and aspire to own Landcruisers.

Similarly to 4wd clubs there are only a small proportion of the population that are interested enough to participate on forums and some of that is attributable to a desire to seek knowledge which is usually associated with maturity.

Add into the mix the constant technology change that has seen forums such as this replaced by inferior Facebook groups and who knows what the next generation will use to communicate? (I'm not thinking Tik Tok is a reliable source of Land Rover information)

I'm on a Jeep forum and it has not fared nearly as well as AULRO over the last few years but much of the traffic has moved to Facebook where historical info tends to blink out pretty quickly, AULRO is a real credit to INC and the mod team.

Regards,
Tote

It can be beneficial in a couple of ways. I have eight friends, one of which resides in the UK, and 'Messenger ' is a handy way to keep in touch with them. My Pommy friend and I used it quite a bit during the last Ashes series.😉
It's also useful for certain 'Group' sites, that suit my wants, such as AULRO, Moreton Island and a fishing site.
Might be worthwhile you having a Bo Peep as I reckon you'll find something of interest.
