Default The Official "give your 928 brotha some luv" Thread

I though to put together a thread which gives everyone the opportunity to thank or praise their fellow 928 guy or gal. I've seen efforts or help with many thanks attached, but some go unmentioned. I can't tell you how many times I've lurked or searched to find really good info but missed giving a thanks.
So here go... hard to tell where to begin.

Thank you,
John Speake for burning a Euro chip for my new LH 2.2 (3). No extra charge...
Roger Tyson for loaning me a flywheel lock tool for 8 MONTHS.
Rob Budd for trade of new leather dash pod for junky seats...
All the people who bought parts from me over the years...
Stanley Ban for all the 928 phone conversations....
Brendan for helping me keep things in perspective. I don't know of anyone who's in deeper...
Andrew Olson for all his "official" threads, mainly the "random 928 pic thread"....
Everyone whose contributed to the "I'd hit it thread"...

I could go on. Your turn.

I'll step up to the plate on that one! My '91 $$$$4 sat for 3 1/2 years and through the extensive efforts especially of DaveK and Andrew Olson in the metro Detroit area as well as some of the other 928OC guys, my car is alive again! It ain't pretty (not yet) but that will happen soon enough. DaveK busted his *** working on the MM, OPG, TT, WP, TB, x-pipe, Porken-sioner, plugs, injectors, rotors and pads shocks, springs, tie rods, AT refresh, all fluids, all belts, fuel, vacuum, water and brake hoses and a host of other things; and therefore in my eyes makes him one BMF. Also special thanks to ROG at 928's R Us for his expeditious supply of $$$$$$ worth of parts. Paul Barrera '91 $$$$4

Dave Chamberland keeps a lot of us up and running in the Boston area. Chris (90GT) asked me last night "What do we do if Dave can't work on our cars?" I said "We will have to buy something japanese."
Many others like Earl, Dave and Jeannie, Wally, have given so much info to me over the last 5 years. Everybody here helps someone else.

Thanks to Bill Swift for all those times helping me get my 928 back on the road and for inspiring me to make mine a daily driver.

Thanks to Randy for getting me **** drunk a couple years ago only to puke my guts out at 3 AM.

Brian beat me to Bill Ball. So many times he has come forth to help other 928ers.
I also want to thank Dave Anderson (Sharkskin) who is also a neighbor of mine for many good suggestions and assistance.
Nicole for her parties and historical perspective. She also has some sort of strange access to unobtainium P car models no one else possesses.
Jim at 928 INTL for great suggestions and advice.
Devek (despite what some think of them) has provided some invaluable aid and service beyond normal expectation.
Brendan who has re-educated me about insurance.
Randy who tolerates my tantrums and outbursts.
Too many more to list here, and I'll think of some later, I'm sure.
