OK, maybe not all Internet forums, but some places actually have a good culture with great camaraderie.

Like a Lotus forum in the UK, for instance:

A sports car enthusiast who suffered a mini stroke while restoring a Lotus Esprit was amazed when online friends finished the work for him in secret.

Simon Pritchard, 36, from Abergavenny, had been in the process of rebuilding the 25-year-old car when he fell ill.

When members of the Lotus Esprit online forum website heard, they donated money and time to fix it.

What a bunch of champions.

Not to take away from Tina's plight. But one our QLD chaps has a blown engine courtessy of limp-wristed Mazda Technicians. So I've started a thread to help him out. http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9743
And I'm sure we can do something about Stinky regardless of your health Tina! :D
