Default Thanks...

Just wanted to send out a big thank-you to Derb and Neeek, who braved the wrath of wives and family, and came out with jumper leads and torches and helped me with a very dead Green Machine last night.

I've met heaps of fantastic people on FF and AFF, I've been given heaps of good advice and I've learned a lot.

So I felt like putting up a feel-good post!

I have also met some great people on here.
Without some of you guys (and gal), HQ Backyard Blitz would never have been the event it was, Our house wouldn't have been painted in time to move in, and we wouldn't have found the Best man for our wedding.
Not to mention the many V8SC BBQ's....

You guys all rock!
Big Group hug.. (where is that smilie when you need it?)

I've met some great people from the thing called "the internet" who have helped us out for many different reasons. Thanks to everyone!

While we're being all warm and fuzzy, I'll add that I've met some awesome people from the forums as well.
Not the least of whom is my lovely boyfriend, Fairmont99 :
