Just thought, while I felt motivated, to praise this forum and its members. I have a C1 and often use this forum to read the technical questions and answers and more importantly to get advice and source parts (usually at a very fair price). Individuals are always very helpful and seem to bend over backwards to do the best they can to help. There is an abundance of knowledge second to none - and for that - thanks to all who have helped me out to date with either advise or parts ...................... and for future pesterings I will have.
I have had a chat with a number of regulars who often leave me astounded at their level of knowledge and patience - hence this post.
I only hope that as my knowledge grows I may be able to return the favour.

This IS a good place to talk tech and mods, regardless of what anyone anywhere else might say.

...and most have learned here or thru first hand knowledge to help others as we have been helped in the past.

With each successive older vette I have acquired, the knowledge gained here has been priceless!

It is a good place to read about it at any rate, even if I rarely converse.

"Pesterings".................I like it, did you invent it, or it an Ozzy thing? I'm going to file it away in the grey matter for when people bug me, thanks.

Pesterings.................. we're a bit like you guys if you can't find it and no one makes it............. well just make it up............ and usually that comes much easier after a few Bourbons.. Speaking of which........... I have one keeping me company while I post this reply. Bourbon....... another good American invention!!!
