[Vwdiesel] The people on this list

[Shawn Wright]

At the risk of publicly embarrassing Andrew, I would like to relate what he did for 
me yesterday. After hearing of my turbo troubles on the weekend, he promptly 
offered to sell me one of his spares at a very fair price, and even offered to tap the 
drain hole for a standard fitting, and provided the fitting part #s I'd need. I knew his 
offer was a good one, but timing is critical, so I sought one locally but came up 
dry. So I contacted him yesterday, and he promptly responded that he'd get it out 
same day if he could. I'd forgotten about tapping the drain, which would take some 
time for him, but he then offered to remove the turbo *from his own van* and send 
it to me, already tapped, with fittings, and ready to go! He just had to wait for his 
wife to return, and let it cool down. He took it to Fedex, but had trouble getting 
them to send it ground, so I ended up phoning him to discuss it. He then made 
another trip and sent it by UPS yesterday. All this took place in a matter of hours, 
with only a few emails back and forth! After your comment about the amazing 
people on this list yesterday, I felt I just had to acknowledge what you did for me. 
Thank you - you are definitely one of the finest individuals I have encountered. Of 
course, all of you deserve a huge thanks for helping in many other ways!
