Default Facebook Page for Subaru community UK & Irl

https://www.facebook.com/groups/542594519165308/

Please click on above link to have a look at a new non profit page.

People private and trade are welcome to post ads for Subaru car parts and car sales.

We aim to admin this in a professional manor. Ween out and bar any scammers and keep conversations realistic. So no chat of 400bhp from a vf28 or cdb is bullet proof in standard internals form etc.

Intelligent conversation and decent sellers is long term key plan.

Fully provided for free to the community. So hope not breaking any rules on here.

Different admin. Different page.

As you say mong page.


And what you mean by that is unintelligent questions and responses. People looking for 500bhp with £500 to spend. Will be told you will need to find another 15-20k will be answer.

That sort of thing to be eliminated and actually have decent normal responses on there.

Badly modified Subaru page is the best one
Don't think you will get any favourable response on here as its your first post and you are wanting us to join
Why don't you post up a picture of YOUR Subaru and spec so
We can discuss the contents

I am a long term user on here since 2005 with just under 3000posts.

So not new.

I have seen some of the cringe worthy posts that was put up on the other page. It will be corrected on this one with the answer you would expect to see.

Exactly. Have seen them too.

So lets have this page for the more intelligent long term people.

so advice is accurate.

If the mongs as you say cannot accept the truth and facts it will be them who will be removed if any unpolite or abusive responses follow.

You could say that about forums.


As in where only 30-40% of chat is somewat intelligent.

if it is admin-ed in such a way to ween out the chavs etc then can be left with a decent page.

If people are stupid enough to pay to use a free social media site then the mugs deserve to be relieved of their hard earned...

Yep its true they do try and charge traders I have been banned from a few groups for not reading the rules, daft thing is most people are on other groups so they see the ads anyway.

Its a great place for traders I can advertise all over the world and I have got some great exposure on products through it.

Ive signed up BTW
