    At minimum they just need to be recognized and thanked. I also like to see now and then if any more users should be on the Consultants list.

    Thanks,

    Good idea Rob, seldom is credit given to these many generous contributors.

    For one, I've noticed on many occasions that one of our local Canadian members, tbakowsky, has been very active in this and other sections providing very helpful insights and advise regarding many Fcar issues.

    Tom is a very experienced mechanic who specializes in Ferraris and other high end sports cars up here in Toronto...we are lucky to have him as part of our Canadian contingent, as well as in F-Chat. Good work Tom!

    I'd vote for 91TR (Steve). He goes to a lot of trouble to help out people with electrical problems.

    I like to just answer from memory but he really goes all out.

    He also has a very good understanding of various iterations of K Jetronic, the FI system probably more cars represented here are equipped with than anything else.

    The top 4 in my opinion are Verell, Rifledriver, Ferrarifixer and Russ Turner. But to make a short list like this is unfair to the MANY others who are very helpful as well.

    Yes - we must not forget the author on how to synchronize webers.
    The Bird rocks, even if his avatar is a fish.

    No one has mentioned Malcom from across the pond. He can't help it if he's a Brit.

    Yes! Malcolm is great too!

    And thanks guys, I'm honored, even if I don't deserve it. Rifledriver, etc. and the real gurus here have forgotten more about Ferraris than I will ever know!

    P.S. You don't like the fish?

    You guys have already covered my list of usual suspects, but I'd like to also mention those who undertake crazy ;) projects and share/document them well -- e.g.:

    Mark Eberhardt's (mk e) supercharged 308QV
    Paul Newman's (Newman) '79 308 restoration
    Russ Turner's (snj5) carbed Mondial

    All good stuff (if the photos don't get lost ;)).
