I have been wondering where he has been as well. Hey Bill sign in and say hello. Your friends are looking for you.

Not to mention Zaino sucks and it's impossible to keep Brembo's from looking new.

Sure hope he's OK, I know he has had some health issues that he had been dealing with. What a terrific mentor and technical wizard to the lesser informed of us (meaning me!). I always enjoy Bill's writings and his insight, given his background as a GM engineer involved with the C5 is an incredible resource. Well, hoping all is well with Bill and family and that we hear from him soon! Everyone take care!

Same here. I have been concerned about Bill. Don't know him personally but I have a ton of respect. Hope he is well.
