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:
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!

Nice post. Reminds me of the many very helpful posters we have had in years past. Who remembers for_an_angel Melissa_2000 incar The BMW specialist in Tga who's username escapes me. So many others

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.

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 !

Jazz should be in there if only for his knowledge and helpfulness in Fiats / VWs.

I'd get one for SPELLING help, for example "thouroughly" should be thoroughly!

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.

I'm not ashamed to say I miss some off the "Don't call me john" escapades. Always made for entertaining reading.

I only do it to empathise with the literary challenged.

Philwestern for his knowledge of everything Mitsi, jazz for his passionate if somewhat one eyed comments on things VAG,

Yes for_an angel/gadgit3-revered toyota specialist bob1120 bmw franc123 ford bigfatmat auto electrical skin1235-back to basics. zephyrheaven. heckeroonie jazz mmm the king of long posts kaz-damn genuine all round good fulla intrade keeping the tousend swapatrons in line sr2 brakes unideck trailers nztools/mobilemec experience ema1 aged wisdom don'tcall me john-the reason a lot donna post ne more

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 ;-)

He's probably only a KAT650 now, or perhaps a GLDWNG1600LOL

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.
