Here's a chance to say cheers to those you feel contribute and help the most on here. (and it's a bit of lighthearted fun) I know everyone does, but no reason we can't give special mention to a few standouts. I know I've sure learnt a helluva lot from reading their posts, and I'm sure others have. Here's my nominees in no particular order:

Mechanical repair/diagnosis/general vehicle knowledge category:

Franc123
Intrade
Ema1
Bjmh
Sr2
Mrfxit

Vehicle sales and imports:

Kazbanz
Westwyn

Painting and panelbeating:

Gunhand
Lookoutas
Grangies

Also thouroughly enjoy reading and learning from all other very knowledgeable posters here, when time permits. It's a fun way to spend a bit of time. Cheers all! :-)

Feel free to add to the list!

2sheddies, Sep 24, 4:58pm
Awwww. a special mention to fordcrzy. for all things blue oval related!

johotech, Sep 24, 5:03pm
No Jazz? Is he complicit in the VW scandal?

stevo2, Sep 24, 5:05pm

Who remembers

Melissa_2000
incar
The BMW specialist in Tga who's username escapes me.
So many others

2sheddies, Sep 24, 5:12pm
Cheers stevo and you're right there. too many to mention everyone. I vaguely remember incar, but can't recall the others you mentioned. Sad that so many of the good guys have either left voluntarily or been forced to leave.

Yes, I remember, they may be still here. I miss some

HAHA! Nice one

cammey, Sep 24, 5:54pm
Intrade does a good job, but he should be excluded from the oscars until he swapatrons the bloody Russian spell checker for an English one that doesn't do my head in.

Give him a Roscar until then. Nostrovia Intrade !

countrypete, Sep 24, 6:59pm
Jazz should be in there if only for his knowledge and helpfulness in Fiats / VWs.

trogedon, Sep 24, 7:19pm
I'd get one for SPELLING help, for example "thouroughly" should be thoroughly!

saxman99, Sep 24, 7:29pm
German. ?

saxman99, Sep 24, 7:31pm
bob1120. Legend. (He hated being called that - reckoned it was insulting being named after a mediocre Honda!)

saxman99, Sep 24, 7:36pm
My nomination is for Socram and mgmad who were super helpful with advice when I owned an MG. Thanks chaps. Perhaps I'll have another one day.

2sheddies, Sep 24, 7:45pm
Ah well, we all make the odd typo eh! Even you on occasions!

noswalg, Sep 24, 8:07pm
I'm not ashamed to say I miss some off the "Don't call me john" escapades. Always made for entertaining reading.

trogedon, Sep 24, 8:25pm
I only do it to empathise with the literary challenged.

berg, Sep 24, 8:38pm

unclejake, Sep 24, 9:10pm
It's hard to argue with any of the above nominations TBH

Beer4me also used to be top value IMO, and Unideck (probably mentioned somewhere above) was/is a great source of trailer wisdom.

There was always plenty of 'entertainment' from PeteB2, 40odd/ReTyre, WGTNGUY/Artyone, Countrygirl and XACOON (I think?). but what was the name of the chap with the motorcycle store near Taupo? Perhaps KAT1000?

Fordkiwi27, 4Trucker, Nathanmac, KDCentralNI, Quickstitch, that guy who used 000s instead of oooo in his name (EDIT: W00sh?), and Restospares were also great posters

EDIT: Snoopps, you just added Unideck to make it look like I didn't read your post properly didnja. Man. That's a low blow ;-)

snoopy221, Sep 24, 9:17pm
but what was the name of the chap with the motorcycle store near Taupo? Perhaps KAT1000?

KAT1100

unka J

unclejake, Sep 24, 9:19pm
He's probably only a KAT650 now, or perhaps a GLDWNG1600LOL

2sheddies, Sep 24, 9:22pm
Definitely agree with skin1235, unideck and jazz for Euro knowledge. So hard to remember everyone lol.

Franc123 and Ema1 are both also extremely knowledgeable re early GM product.
