Would you as a member be willing to lend a hand to another member, whether the member needs a hand on the road, a car or part looked at, parts shipped, or would just like to visit, and at the top, allowing a good member to actually stay at your house?
If you could answer yes to any of the above, would you be willing to list your name on a permanent thread right here?
When I was planning on a cross country drive, I can't tell you how much more confident it made me feel knowing there would be a line of good members country wide, that would be willing to help out and some even accommodate me. I'm sure the goodwill would be a benefit to all members, and perhaps even friends of members. Can you imagine having member support at the drop of the hat whenever you might need it?
If interested in signing up, PM me with the your details. Any of the questions are 100% optional. Just agree to the ones you would be comfortable supporting and still allow you to be anonymous on line. If you change your mind at any time, we can edit the fields in any way you'd like. Even add to the things you might be able to help with and I'll add them in "Notes" as you see below. If you PM your email and phone number and don't want it public, we'll keep it totally private, only to give out to a member in the event they unable to get contact with a PM.
One takeaway... the simple premise here is, although in no way a hard rule, if you expect to, or do use the resource, it's expected that you get your name on the list to provide at least some basic help in return.
Note; If you do plan a trip where you might be passing by members listed here, it's best you get in contact with them ahead of time, and if possible record their phone numbers and emails.
That is the only foolproof way of contacting them in the event of trouble.

Old thread but I'm looking for someone here who might be able to help with me making a purchase in Langley/Abbotsford/Chilliwack area. It would involve picking up and moving an engine/trans (no diff!), putting it on a pallet and getting it to a depot that I would arrange.
