Default Thanks Barry K !!

I have been poking around the C3 forum for about 6 months now and just wanted to thank you for taking the time to do your best in sharing your knowledge and experience on this forum.
There are many other members who are as generous with their bowtie brains and I do thank them as well but I just happened to find myself reading some of your posts and just wanted to say thanks for your time and effort.

This is not a butt smooching post..... just an acknowledgement for (In my opinion) a very valuable member of the forum
Thanks

thanks Bob but there are a LOT more people MUCH. MUCH more knowledgeable and experienced than me.
i'm just a poor schumck that can't afford to pay a mechanic to work on my cars so have had to recently start to learn how to do it myself.
i've recieved so much help and assistence from the forum that when there is the rare question that i've learned the answer than I just try to pass it on and contribute to "pay back" the forum for all the help it's given me.

If you want to thank anyone, thank the entire forum, for every individual on here helps out in some way or form. Everyone contributes their level of knowledge oand experience, some big, some small like mine, and it's all of that put together that makes this place so valuable and how we ALL learn and increase our knowledge.



on the other hand.......if you have found that anything I've tried to share and pass along was of special particular help to you than payments can be made and accepted by credit card or PayPal........ message me for payment details!

gq82, I'm hoping I might be able to take some of the proceeds if the car sells and get another project car. Ive learned I really enjoy working on them (well, most of the time although there are some pretty frustrating days too.... ) and learning as I go.
There is no way I can afford a C1 or C2 project car, even those cars cost a fortune even as complete basket cases so I'm hoping to find a nice chrome bumper C3 to do next.
hmmmm, maybe a chrome bumper, steel cities gray, black interior 'vert!!??
Anyway, you guys probably can't get rid of me THAT easily although I'm sure there are a few members on here that would like to try!

That's right....there are a lot of folks on this forum that have helped me tons. You can always find someone that has done a project that you are about to start. Most times they can prevent you from messing up or at least give you some good pointers.

I agree with Bob. After lurking around for a year or more on the C1/C2 forum and now own a C3, (Spending more time here now) I have found Barry's, as well as others information on both forumes to be very helpful and valuable. Barry, et al, Thanks!

BTW, in leiu of money, I'll fax ya a beer, OK?

Take care

Tony
