Why Are You Here?
Discussion
Seems to be the Mumsnet for blokes 
I think there's an excellent mix of people from the full range of expertise and status levels that can inform/educate/help others. I've personally benefited greatly from the help of contributors when I've asked questions, so it's my 1st port of call when looking for answers.
It's also a good way of keeping up with current affairs and trends in the motoring world.
Obviously within any large group of people there'll be idiots, but overall I think it's great.
What draws you to PistonHeads?

I joined way back in 2008, I can’t remember how I found it, just did probably because I am a car nut.
I hardly posted at all for years, I do a lot more now as I am working from home predominantly.
I have more time.
It’s my one stop shop for most things.
For instance my regular trips to Spain were helped immeasurable on the Holidays and Travel thread - navigating all the red tape etc. I came to learn so much, friends and family were coming to me for advice .
The only downside I see in so many positive aspects to the site - there is simply too much to read!
I only found the Lounge very recently , and it has kept me very entertained indeed.

"Because I got no place else to go".
Many other sub forums have a decent bunch of guys with shared interests. I deliberately avoid NP&E and sometimes GG for the usual reasons.
It's a good place to get solid advice if you ask the right questions. you don't have to go far to find an expert, or at worst, someone very knowledgeable on any given subject.

k else am I supposed to do whilst having a sVery interesting question…
I think for me Pistonheads is so entertaining and informative.
The threads I follow or contribute to are very gentlemanly, friendly and a bit of a laugh.
When I have had a ‘phone a friend type question’ none of my physical world friends and colleagues can answer, there is always some practical friendly advice on here.
Periodically I encounter the odd vexatious thread or individual…easy enough to move on and not get involved..
