yes Bill is definitely missed! with all those different avatars he had me laughing all the time, I guess I am one of the lucky ones that had the pleasure to meet Bill in person in Reno NV, during Hot August Nights. It was funny because we where looking at each others cars, so I walked over to him and said are you Mr.Bill? he said your 209TIME I know those wheels anywhere from your pictures...we both had a good laugh at that, we talked and joked around for about 30 minutes then shook hands and said see you around. RIP Mr.Bill

No sarcasm intended. I was referring to the the very long sticky thread about Bill, which after spending an hour reading i felt like i knew him. By all accounts he was a great guy.
