The players of course but there are shining stars like herr_oberst who really make this place special. He was instrumental in helping with the purchase of my Ducati out in Portland and was a huge help the other day with an eBay purchase.
I'd been working on a customer BMW grille that turned out to be very rare. After cleaning up the customer attempt at restoration, I found one of the kidney grille ribs was ruined. I let him know and that I would find another for the rib. After a few days of searching, turns out the only grille I could find, at all, was the one below on eBay. The rib I needed was damaged but looked repairable. The fact that it was for sale points to the rarity.
eBay seller, in Portland, was very nice but he couldn't overnight it. I asked Mr. Oberst if he would receive it (UPS/FedEx Ground is overnight) and put a new next day label on and get it off to me the day he got it. He waited around the whole day for it, got it, saw that it wasn't packaged very well, repacked it and then put my label on, went to UPS store and I was able to finish the grille.
Thank you again Mike, you are a savior and part of what makes this place so great!
