AF has always been the most useful tool in any home mechanics tool kit.The wealth of information available is superb.
This merger with Driverside.com is a perfect marriage of two great knowledge banks.
How wonderful will it be when a comprehensive library of Australian vehicles gets listed.
Long may it last.
