Hey Phil,
I share the sentiment. I knew MattyMoo did not live awfully far from me, and we frequented some of the same parts yards etc... It was good to meet in person a few weeks back while changing out my ABS control unit in his driveway here in Michigan.
I briefly met Matts wife, two cool dogs and at least one of his kids.

It is nice to actually meet folks that you might consider as being as strange as yourself. Myself is what I was actually getting at. The same interests, you know what I mean.

I am sure I would enjoy meeting Robert as well.

Edit: I had meant to also include you as someone to meet. I was typing too fast.
Being in Indiana, our states share a border. I don't know how far down state you live, but there may be an event that we may cross paths.

I have had two people ask for help in my hamlet in upstate NY but apparently never checked back.

Last year, I stopped at a guy with a day sailor and found he had a 2000 XC and helped him sort out front suspension and other stuff. Lives 4 blocks from me.

There are tons and tons of P2 and P80s here in NY-ALB-BOS triangle. I have four within 100 yards of my house
