I agree with most of the people mentioned above, but i would like to add Bret and Billy Z, both of which havent posted here in a while so only the older members from the old board and the old old board might know them.
You picked a weiner doctor and an insurance salesman as two who you RESPECT? LOL LOL !! If everyone had good members, though, UroTrash would be out of work. All kidding aside, I am glad to help those who ask... I've had occasion to call of the expertise of 2 people on this forum who I otherwise never would have access to. So I am glad to return the favor.
There's some great responses in here; some surprising ones, too... i'm flattered by all of you who put me on your list... Thank you. i guess i shouldn't have limited it to three, but if i didn't, this would've taken a lot longer to read... However, i'll keep with my own rule and only name three; even though i could go on and on... First up is Bruce & Andrea; - no, they don't count as two people! They're one unit; hell, sometimes i get an email from Bruce and i think it's from Andrea...! Anyway, forgetting for a moment that they're my friends, Bruce & Andrea deal with life and it's ups and downs in very unique ways and always come out on top, with family and friends always their top priority... i've watched Bruce hurdle several obstacles in the short time i've known him and his perseverance and will to always come out on top never cease to amaze me (our own Stephen Owens has similar qualities)... & in dealing with me; as a friend, i can sometimes be a handful and i'm not always the best friend a friend can be... When other people take lemons and make lemonade, Bruce takes those lemons, ferments them and makes Absolut Citron... And Andrea...? Well, you know what they say: behind every good man is a great woman. i'm very privileged to know both of them and i have a lot of respect for them. Second on my list is Augustine... As my friendship with him continues (drags on?), i get to know more and more about him and his character impresses me on a regular basis... Ok, that and he's really funny... He's another one i'm proud to know and proud to call my friend... The last one is so hard; there are so many very respectable people here - in my eyes, at least - each one, for different reasons... Jon Kofod, Steve O.& Alan Leach immediately come to mind, along with a bunch of others... i think i'm gonna have to go with Nika, though; she puts up with a LOT of crap being a female in what's considered to be a predominantly male world; however, she keeps going and she pushes past each obstacle, always coming face to face with success. How can you not respect that...? As i said - and others have said - there are others i'd like to mention... But those are my three... Don't be offended if i didn't mention you, i have a lot of respect for a lot of people here, but these are the people i really look up to.
No way I could just list three folks, my list would be at least 25+ long (and yes Mike SRT you'd be near the top with Art, Dave, and many others). The top of the list is of course the king himself..............Rob L. Without him I would have missed out on a lot of good friends, good company, and good conversation (even in P&R ). Thanks to those who listed me, but I am just one of a few thousand that make this the best damn car forum on the internet. My only regret is that some great members are no longer active. Ed Gault, Magoo, Matt Karson, where have you gone ... ??????? And yes I do actually miss AllanLambo.........the general discussion site is quite drab without his "lambophobia" present. I guess some of you take Allan too seriously, like many take Art and Dave too seriously in P&R forum. I don't think that it's any one or two individuals that make Ferrarichat so great........it's the collective sum of it's members who I am proud to be a part of. Regards, Jon P. Kofod www.flatoutracing.net
I think John/Futureowner deserves an honorable mention. If anyone on the forum has potential to do great things, it's him.
I'm not going to say anything on a thread like this, or the "who do you want to meet" thread, for fear of leaving someone out or putting an open hierarchy on relationships here. Then I might not get invited to someone's birthday party. The ultimate social punishment, since the 1st grade!
BROUGHT THIS OLDIE UP FROM A YEAR AGO.. ANYBODY"S VIEW OR CHOICE CHANGE IN A YEAR?? IN THE TECH DEPT...NOBODY IS BETTER THAN 91TR..STEVE MAGNUSSEN WHICH LEAVES TO MUCH FOR ALL MY OTHER RESPECTED PEOPLE HERE.. ROB FOR THE SITE. BUT FOR NOT SOME OF HIS ANSWERS.. ILL LEAVE THE REST TO YOU.. BRUCE
I remember Magoo also as well as BrettM and Ed Gault. Magoo was always very helpful, glad to hear he is doing well.
Anybody who restores a 330 P4 then goes & buys the 1st ever Ferrari,all the while owning a Duesy & some other great cars whould be nominated as lifetime hero of Fchat
everyone gets my utmost and unconditional respect. dr who gets my vote as utmost respect & most favorite...unassuming and classy man. when he speaks....i tentatively listen. when he posts...i intensely read. regards,
Gentlemen. How could there be but one choice for this honor? Who among us has broken down the biggest barrier to Ferrari enjoyment for millions...make that billions of individuals? Who has broken the massively entrenched specie-ism rampant on this forum? Who was the first non-human to achieve Silver Membership status? Who amongst us has been popularly elevated to "F-chat Detective"? Who is THE ONLY silver member to EVER post in Rossa? Gentlemen, it is my honor to nominate Kitty Fishsticks
