How about SharkSkin/Dave Anderson?

I learned a huge amount from his great photographs and how-tos:

I've seen Bill fairly lately. He was helping one of the guys wrap up a timing belt job a few weeks ago.

Remember CeeDee - he had the most beautiful woman I ever saw in his avatar. Also, TimDelarm - he used to get in some epic flame wars. Things have been tooooo quiet here!

I just saw Bill a few weeks ago, he is doing well though battling a persistent cold for a couple of months. I would still be wrestling with that damned timing belt if he hadn't driven a couple of hours each way to help me out.

We lost another one this week. George Appunn ( Sharkbody here on Rennlist ) passed away on Tuesday morning. George succumbed to cancer that was just diagnosed on Feb 28th. I will make a new thread for this specifically but there will be a memorial service on May 1st at 4pm at:

Maximo Presbyterian Church
3200 58th Avenue South

Darien and I talked to Bill one night just before Spring Fling when we were tracking down the ignition and IMS issues I was having with the GTS. His guidance helped us figure out what was causing the issues, which we solved by removing the plastic coil cover.
He was a great help as always

Tim was a flying producer for Fox Sports when he was in SoCal, but his passion layed further north. His car sat in storage for a bit as he wandered Alaska on some projects, found its way to Doc Kim in the DFW area for a while, then on to an enthusiast (Bob ... IIRC) in Georgia IIRC. He sold it, and I lost track of where it went. Tim came by and visited my S4 before deciding to buy his car from Brian Buxton in Indiana, so we have some history.

Tim is still in Alaska last I heard, producing films and doumentaries focused on that neighborhood. He's a dedicated 928 lover, but moved to where it wasn't feasable to keep the car.

Another Tim trivia tidbit was his previous marriage to singer Sheena Easton in 1997.
