Why can't I see the rest threads

[adsrs1]

Why can't I see the rest threads just becaus I haven got a escos I am very interested in what people are doing I am a genuine enthusiast who at the moment has a 28 k mile focus rs and would like a escos which has been a child hood dream of mine .

You need to either be an owner or "known" in the community and vouched for by another member because you are considered to bring something to the forum.

its basically to prevent thieving scumbags having dead easy access to the resto forum where if your a thief, you have plenty of opportunity to eye up the expensive modifications and work out if the car is worth tracking down.

Also by limiting the non-owners it prevents the forum going down hill like some other car forums have done due to lax moderation.

I just like to see what is being done to people's cars I can soon put pics up of my focus I am a activ member of the rsoc and I have a passion for the rs mark

I think it is right only escos owners see this section, too many cars have been stolen due to forums and this is a good way of filtering the bad. Not saying your bad btw. But a lot of thieves search these forums and cars go missing. :-(

I agree with the above, good way of doing things on here.

as the lads have said above, the primary reason is to stop the theives and give the member confidence that they can post is relative security.
The other side of the argument is "well its an escos forum", but then we are a victim of our own success there really due to the friendly nature and helpfulness of all the members on here

+1 makes sure that only escos enthusiasts get to see all the cars

I think the big good thing about the whole site is that you can be vouched for.
If like me you originally owned your first ESCOS before the word "forum" had been used on the computer, sold it years ago then sat on the fence, loving them, talking about them, looking at them but not owning one (and perhaps had one before some members on here could even drive) then you can still interact all that is required by being vouched for.
Its a shame other car forums like Piston Heads etc dont have some sort of private owners sections. I mentioned it on PH a few years ago ang got PF stlye abuse.
