Really sorry to hear that news. I used to get on really well with him when we were racing at the same meetings.

I remember him turning up at Brands and getting an entry in a Mini on the day. The Mini got trashed in the race, but the problem was, it belonged to a customer at the garage and he had borrowed it for the day!

He was a real "one-off"

Sad, sad news. A real entertainer who'd drive almost anything sideways.

A great character, and never forgot his roots; on several occasions he came back to our small car club (from where he set out in motorsport), an inspiration to us all. He will be missed.
