I've met five: Quahog, Thayer, JB3, Wittenberger, and Brian Carlton. All great guys.
If I every make it to the annual RI ChowdahQ I'll meet a lot more I'm sure. You?

I've met, raj not sure of his screen name... he lives near me, thayer, Jay Bob, Greazzer, Twalgamuth, Whunter, BustedBenz, baptr, of course Mach4, and a few other members that have either bought stuff from my yard, or sold me a car ytmtnman... bought a car, etc...
likely around 20 I REALLY should have written down the members' names I've met... (all members that came to my yard to buy or sell stuff or just to help I'd love to have a list of you all!)

I bet at least 50. I`ll have dig deep in the dark cravasses of my Brain.
Here is a few off the top of my head at the moment. I`ll keep adding to this list as they bubble to the surface. Maybe we can each add to our post one list instead of having it spread over several post as we remember names. see who can come up with the longest list.

You met me at the last get together. I had the grey 300SD.
Gearhead and I do a lot of wrenching together here in Dallas. He has been a great help on some of my projects. I met daw_two when I bought my dash from him. Everyone seems to be nice and helpful.

To date I've met super star Delibes on one of his many travels and Govert (from here and BW)
I may have met vstech in 1976 when I went to the same school as him but I don't remember him in particular.

it's unlikely we were in that school at the same time... I was there in 78/79... I left when the Ayatollah Khomeini gained power...

It would be hard for me to count, as there are so many. My brother and I have organized many GTG's and cruises, and meet new forum members every time. I am sure the list would be longer than Charlie's (charmalu), but don't know the exact count. I know it is not a competition, so I will not even try to list them. However, I have to say that this forum is a wonderful place to hang out and meet great people (sometimes even in person). With more future drives planned, I am sure I will meet more forum members....Rich
Edit: It is also nice to meet the cars too!
