Nothing to add to the collective wisdom of the group. Just wanted to use #3000 to say how lucky we were to purchase a little Torch Red Thunderbird way back in Nov 2001 and how much more lucky we have been to make the friends we know on TBN because of it.
There are so many of you that are every bit as close as family. Some of us have travelled thousands of miles together and plan to travel thousands more. Many have planned and put on events in great places that we may never have been if it hadn't been for your taking a risk that others would want to come to the place you are proud to call home.
Some of us don't see each other more often than every couple of years or so, while others see each other regularly, but in both cases the bonds of friendship remain so strong that it is just like yesterday when we are able to be together. We celebrate when our TBN friends are happy or proud, pray when they are down or ill, and cry with them when they feel a loss. We are there for each other in good times and bad. As it has been said so many times before and possibly first by me to Mark501 all the way back at Destin - "It starts off being about the cars, but in the end it is about the people". Truer words have never been spoken.
We truly miss some of our friends that we have lost along the way due to various circumstances, but certainly celebrate new ones that join each day. Thanks to TBN we treasure friendships that have no borders - as Frits says "Sometimes T-birds travel far" - with friends to the north in Canada and across the Atlantic in Europe. Because of these friendships we have been or will be lucky enough to visit countries we may never have considered in the past.
So thanks to everyone that is TBN, especially the owners and Birdwings II for all they do. Hopefully, we'll all be around 8 more years and 3000 more posts from now!
