Are there any other forums that people frequent for car chit chat and technical know how?

I'm trying to expand my knowledge base and am after other sources.

I guess there are marque specific examples, but is there anything else that covers a broad range?

Thanks.

I'm not really a fan of single marque fora. They all just appear to be giant back-slapping parties for people to say; "Yes! You definitely bought the right car and so did I!"

Then again, I just hate people.

In my experience none worth bothering with. Try Youtube though.

Useful for technical advise though, I'm a member of the owners for my bike and its a great source of information for any problems or maintenance.

I still frequent the escort cosworth forum and the Barchetta section of Fiat forum.
The cos owners are mostly smug about how much their cars are worth but friendly enough.
I have a login on loads of others which I never visit.

I used to frequent the FinalGear forums

Was quite a busy place until they got take down notices for linking to TG, TG USA etc torrents. So they binned all that. Its still active, just not as much and the member base is definitely more US/European, not too many UK'ers last I knew. But its quite a broad church, much like this place they have off topic, photography, hobbies forums, car forums etc.

Someone on here mentioned Blatters. Is that actually a forum?
