Default Bill Dearborn has 1,000 thanks!

I don't think many are even close, so here's a big unofficial thanks to Bill for all of his contributions to the forum of late!

Posting informative, calm, well-reasoned posts from experience does the forum a great service.

Take a bow, Bill.

Bill is a huge resource to this forum. I have made many decisions based solely on his advice. He has also taken his own free time to assist myself and I suspect MANY others privately. Calm, cool, collected, a wealth of knowledge and willing to help just about anyone. Very much appreciated.

I always look forward to his posts. I find Bill to be a great resource---even when he doesn't know it-------we read his posts and learn.

He also comes across as a great guy---the type you would enjoy having a cold beer, or three, with.

Having a 1,000 thanks says it all.

with everybody else - many thanks to Bill for his excellent contributions to the forum.

Bill is a Tech Contributor, and we are all very grateful for his insightful and educational postings on many different things - including track driving, features of the car, especially many different mechanical aspects of the car, etc., etc.

Thanks, Bill!!

Bill is considered to be one of the few "real" experts here in the CF.

I followed his wisdom & tips on the C5 side for a long time and continue to do so here.

Tks
Bill

I still remember when he helped to fix an electrical problem in my C5 8 years ago while I am in the middle of the desert in Saudi Arabia.

Also many times I find his posts or replies are very helpful to me.
Thank you Bill

I to have benefitted from Bills advice and comments not only on my C5 issues, but he is just a calm voice of reason when things get a little testy. Many thanks Mr. Bill!
