"Insider secrets book"

[11TH GEN]

I searched his old posts, not once did he ever offer any technical advice (unless it was something he was selling), but he always asked detailed specific questions...who knew he was copying and pasting each post!

I actually don't think that is what he was doing. First off over half of the posts would have to be edited, prior to publication, due to grammatical errors. In my opinion, even the suggestion that he did that is dangerous territory. I don't think I would personally go out of my way to alienate, insult and bash the only company that specializes exclusively in parts and accessories for the 2002-2005 Thunderbird and the only one that's actively working with Ford to re-manufacture, under license, many of the discontinued and 'obsoleted' OEM replacement parts. Just my thought.

LOL, before he turned on me, he told me how everyone on TBN is a cheapskate SOB. You're suggesting that I have "alienated, insulted, and bashed" LA Phil? I think he's done that to himself. Based on your comments it would appear that you have first hand knowledge that he has is fact taken content from this forum and is now charging for it. I was joking about it.

Ric= ask him if he has a source for a dash kit in DSB?

Doesn't have what you are looking for Greg...

I did buy the book. Although I have been a member of Thunderbird Nest from the time I purchased my 2003 WW, and learned a lot about the car and its upkeep. Phil had several things I didn't know about and had the subject matter well organized. I downloaded the book, printed it, three-hole punched it, and have it in a three hole binder. Easier than looking up things in the PDF. In my opinion, it is a worthwhile book for people who are relatively new retro-bird owners.

I'm sure Phil is grateful for all of our contributions ..

In my opinion, it is a worthwhile book for people who are relatively new retro-bird owners.

I completely agree with this statement.

For those of you that have been members of TBN since you owned your car and follow TBN all the time, possibly daily & know your way around the site, know on how to research something in question then yes it is very unlikely you will find a great deal of value in the book.
BUT do keep in-mind
there are a lot of 2nd & 3th owners of Retros and not all of them have had all the experience that so many of the long time TBN members & owners have acquired. It is rather un-forgiving to sell short valuable information to these new owners. Some may have received their Retro without a owner's manual so a book such as this could easily be a huge help to them.
