By now you may have noticed that we have changed the banner celebrating the fact that we have reached the 3 MILLIONTH post. AFF first went public way back in 2004 between Christmas, and New Years.
Such a milestone would never be achieved, without the contributions from each and every member, so rather then singling out any one individual, it is fitting that the admin/mod team extends a heartfelt thanx to all members for helping to make AFF what it is.
Here's to the ongoing success of Australian Ford Forums.

Nice job making the banner Wulos.

This is indeed an achievement in a relatively short time.
The help and information and all the friends made as a member here makes it all worth while.

Well done to all that make this site work and to all that donate their time and effort. It truly is worth it.

The AFF has been a great source of information to get the most out of my Ghia, minimizing frustrations and costs involved in ownership with its certain peculiarities and characteristics.

Thanks to the AFF team especially Russell W. for his tireless efforts in maintaining such an informative and popular site.
