Default Help me giving credit when credit is (over) due

OK,

We all know Tony has been a great contribution to the 928 community, but I keep seeing kudos to folks and getting their due graditude.

If anyone hasn't been to his website and used his countless hours of illustrated documentation on day to day and more DIY stuff, please enjoy http://members.rennlist.com/v1uhoh/ ...there's a lot of useful stuff on the website, just scroll to the bottom and check out the many the write-ups.

Not taking away from the rest of the crew, as we all enjoy and bow to their contributions as well, but I'm giving my vote for a "Lifetime Membership" to Tony

Myself more than others wouldn't have the knowledge that I have without him...keep it going Tony

Anyone else with me?

Tony's website was, and still is, one of the first I go to, when I have a task at hand. The information on Tony's site as been put together through his own experience, so you know you can trust it.

Thanks Tony

+928, but ...

Tony's not the only member of this community that deserves strokes and often doesn't get them. Because there are so many, it's actually hard to keep track of all those who have and do produce great resources so the rest of us can keep our cars on the road.

hmmmmmm. Wait just a minute! Some of us, those with ability, provide what they can and the rest of us take what we need!? OMG, we're commies!!!

EDIT: I looked at this post and realized it could sound like I'm quibbling about the worth of Tony's contribution. I'm definitely not doing that, only saying that I hate to recognize any one person to the exclusion of a bunch of others like

To name but a few, with apologies to those I've left out. One could republish a new and improved shop manual from the info available by following everybody's resource/linx pages.

+ 100. Tony is a fine, fine, honorable, modest young man. I've been fortunate living in Vegas, to have recently met Tony in person. Without asking he went over my car, and gave me a detailed assesment. He also gave me a short ride in his incredible car, made me want to throw rocks at mine. And recently offered to loan me the tools needed to do some adjustments on my car. He really deserves a lifetime membership, I'll help pay for it. Thanks Tony, Joe

With all the screwing they did together can you blame him !!!

That's just like Tony, get a man's screws all spun up and then leave him wanting more.

Yes! Tony's website gave me a lot of information when I initiated the search for my 928.

Thanks Tony!

Since I am terminally lazy, I often send folks with tech questions to Tony's site (or Greg's) instead of typing out long answers.

Thanks, Tony and Greg!
