American generosity
this is a thread where i get to say thankyou 
im in australia and have an 81 . recently my aircon compressor gave up on me so i went to my local chev parts store to get a new one. the new one was slightly different and i needed an adaptor kit which wasnt supplied. i couldnt get one here to be honest. i told of my dilemma in the tech forum and unbelievably a member chimed in and offered to drive to the parts store, dig up the part , pay for it, then send it to me . i of course offered to pay for the part and have it sent to me pay on delivery but this member would have none of that.the package is already in the mail . it is just an extremley nice effort to do this and i am very very lucky to have someone do this for me. i just wanted to say thankyou to rick for this and to the forum here as i use it alot and have never seen anything but genuine help and advice for everyone.
it makes me proud to have an american car .

I've been on the receiving side of some of that CF generousity as well. There are a lot of good people here that are always willing to help a vette brother out. The C3 "vette club" is better than I ever imagined!!! 
with all of the possitive words in support of our interest

One of my very first posts here asked where to buy the center vent section for a 76 gauge panel. For some reason, this doesn't seem to be available from the usual catalogs. A forum member (kdf1986) mentioned that he saw one in a junkyard that day. He went back to the yard, picked it up and mailed it to me. He said to send the check when I had a chance. That really showed me what kind of people hang out here and I've tried to live up to his example ever since.
