Hi Rita,
Sorry to see that your hubby got abused in that lengthy thread, but glad to see you've kept your sense of humor.

Not a problem. I realize now that it was probably just one individual.
I guess I should tell you a little bit about ì
Mr. BillyBobcatî:
He is without a doubt, a diehard Pontiac guy. Growing up with a dad that raced Pontiacs, he has been around them his entire life. His first car was a 1970 GTO, which he still has today. As many of you already know from the "never ending" Pontiac post on here, he also owns the 1969 Royal Bobcat Test car. He has always been very active in the Pontiac hobby. He was the President of a Pontiac club when he was only
18 years old! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] He was one of the founders of the local GTO club, and went on to serve 12 years as an officer (first as Vice-President, then later as President). He also spent 11 years as the Event Coordinator for the "GTO Classic Weekend". This show has grown to become one of the LARGEST [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] ALL GTO shows in the country.
Even though he works 7 days a week (downfall of owning your own business), he always finds time to help others. A couple weeks ago he used his enclosed car trailer to take his friendís GTO from the ìsandblasterî to the body shop. Bill said, ìhe did not want it to get wetî (it was sprinkling outside). I could not tell you how many times he has gone along with people to inspect cars before they bought them, including my niece. He must have spent every weekend for 2 MONTHS looking for her first car (a í70 Chevelle). Since he is so well known and respected around here, he gets phone calls almost every day from guys who have Pontiac related questions. I often call him a ìwalking dictionaryî when it comes to cars, LOL!
He is a very nice and mild-mannered man. I think he may have got that from his dad. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] We lost him a couple years ago to Cancer. He was the kindest, most UN-SELFISH man I have ever met, and I doubt I will ever meet another one like him as long as I live! Here is the article that appeared in the May/June 2001 issue of
Pontiac Enthusiast after he passed away:
THANKS for welcoming me and for all the nice compliments on my car,
