I absolutely couldn't function without Rob. I loose pictures, information, etc. I can't remember where I last sat my *** down. He's got everything all filed away, in a form that he can remember where everything is.

Also has "great vision", which is the ability to see the "whole "picture. I'm good, but he is great. I was in the middle of thrashing with the "pump" project. I had just spend half a day welding on the pan and put it back on the engine. Rob walks in, walks right up to the engine, and says..."Isn't that fitting going to be in the way of the A/C belt?"

Yes, as a matter of fact, it was! Thank you, so much, for pointing that out. I think I want to remove the pan, again.

He's a "worldclass guy".

Actually my garage SUCKS, it just has a nice shiny floor. Low ceiling, post-tension slab (can't safely drill for a lift without x-raying it...), weird semi-offset layout. But the weather outside it is wrench-friendly, and it'll hold enough 928 parts to make me happy...

Mark Anderson

I can't say enough good things about Rob. He always has a helping hand available on a variety of issues.

I read every Rob post at least twice due to content.

You 928 guys and gals on the west coast have extreme skills.
Mechanical. Chemical. Project management. Communication. Business.
Damn.

Even his packed home garage is super nice.
It's like a nascar shop hit by a shrink ray!

It's people like Rob that give this community a good name. Nettles on the other hand...

To achieve balance you need both sides of the spectrum, great guys like Rob and then guys like me, kind of like straight guys and you.

Rob is certainly one of a dozen or so folks on this list that REALLY help make it a great community, and their knowledge of and information about our favorite cars is a true blessing to us as well. I'd list the names, but if you are reading this, you already know them - and my old brain would probably forget one or two and I don't want to overlook any of our great contributors.

SO - in addition to a big THANKS to Rob, I'll also say the same to you all who make this such a great automotive enthusiast community.

Yep, you can add me to the list of ones he's helped.
I'm finishing up a suspension overhaul on my car, Rob
let me use his old Koni's as cores to send in, in place
of mine that hadn't been removed yet so it would save
about a month and a half lead time while they where
getting rebuilt & re-valved, that really eliminated a lot of
down time on the project.
While I was over at his place picking up the stuff he said
Hey why don't you use my new Spring compressor tool, check
this thing out > Yea you can bet that made the job safer and
faster !
And last November he let me borrow his computer & diagnostic
tool so I could solve a ISV problem I was having.
Thanks Again Rob !

Yep, Rob is a helluva guy, a real asset to the community. At the risk of short-changing the many great folks I know throughout the 928 community, he's one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Here he is at his first visit to SITP:

And Dave Anderson usually has some of the best photographs!

Greg is also slightly quicker than the normal human being....

Rob is a first class guy. He has loaned me stuff halfway across the country. I even found he helped work on my car with the PO. It is going to have to make a stop by his house one of these days. It is only 1900 miles.

Thanks for that, Brendan, for me it's a never-ending learning process with a long way to go but the encouragement is appreciated.

I'd like to see if I can re-try that last shot this year, hopefully with a tighter formation. Depends on which way the fundrive goes.
