Wow! Cheers PH for posting my RX-7, really great to form one part of the collage representing the overall PH fleet. (Even if my 'pistons' are of the weird triangular kind).
I've posted a full thread here, if anyone wants to know more

happy to try answering any FD questions, although I've only had her three weeks yet, so I'm no expert.
BTW I agree with all the comments about the danger of Facebook - in my experience, it's far more likely to provoke divorce than an expensive car habit. However Twitter is a totally different thing, much lighter-weight and less contentious - trivial, but diverting and fairly harmless. I follow Chris Harris & Sniff Petrol's banter, plus a few F1 drivers, for example.

Why was the question not asked here on the forums out of interest? Many of us here don't 'do' social media, thereby severely limiting the number of actual PHers who'd see it.
I'm sure the answers would've been far more varied if it had been asked here.
Doing it this way encouraged us to effectively 'promote' PH on Twitter, thus potentially bringing a larger audience of car enthusiasts in to the PH community (including the forums).I'm sure the answers would've been far more varied if it had been asked here.

Quite similar to posting on forums though, in fact forums were the beginning of social media. ks.You end up witha load of "friends"you don't know and a load of other folk snooping in on your life.I have friends on it and all they do is bh about all the misunderstood messages and comments made by people all the time,hopeless.

Quite a lot of love for my friends old Maestro Turbo. That engine has two pistons from my old Maestro Turbo lump, spent alot of time on that car with him with the tuning, smoothed the front bumper which is why the look of it is so clean from the front. Shame you cant get any parts for them anymore, even windscreens are a PITA to find now. I sold mine this year, after 12 years of ownership. I'm just starting to regret it now.
I'm on Twitter, still not sure how to use it, if anything its more a business tool, I know some people are very anti-social network but car forums do the same sort of thing and have done for years.

Oh and to add you try arranging a get together with 80 other people within 24 hours date venue all sorted via text message.50 of which do not have your number nor do you have theirs.
