Consider this guy as just one of the "you can't please everyone"
types who probably complains about any function or event he
attends while he personally has a track record of never helping
out and expecting to have everything hand fed to him. In
short, he's a ? volunteer for nothing and bitch about everything"
guy. Having chaired many events myself, I've found these types
in every organization to some small degree.
In the auto hobby arena, I've always welcomed anyone who
simply wants to chat about cars or whatever. Indeed,
Triumph owners in particular seem to relish every
opportunity to talk about their cars with anyone.
Cheers,
Bill Sohl
