Name of deceased member?

stuartmmcfc · 29-08-20, 07:25 AM

This is awful, it’s a sign of age I suppose, but right near the start of this forum there was a really nice guy called Gordon.
He’d restored his black wr quattro and was very proud of it. He unfortunately developed cancer, bought a convertible Ferrari 348 (?) got caught for serious speeding on the motorway but got let off in court because he needed it for chemo treatment (legend!)
He took it to one of the Sunday meets at Cosford and gave girls a ride in it!
He then passed.
I, and several other original members, went to his funeral which was both very moving and also made us smile.
Now I can’t remember his full name. It’s taken me ages to remember his first name. I’m only asking for my own benefit, so I can remember him properly.
Can anyone help

Absolutes rubbish!!
One one hand I’m really lucky with a great wife and kids, live in a nice place, got a 69 mercury cougar convertible and City might be buying Messi
On the other hand my ms means I’m in a wheelchair, can’t drive and I’m getting fat!
Still good looking though

Randomly found these photos on my old photobucket account. I took it of Gordon chucking his Ur around a corner somewhere in Cheshire about 15-odd years ago. Apologies for photobuckets belligerent ballsing up of photos, it’s why it’s an ‘old’ account.

I remember the Ayrton Senna bit at his funeral service, very amusing, Gordon used to love marshalling at Spa etc.

Also when his ur broke down at a Breakfast Club meet and the AA did a great demonstration on how not to recover a quattro.
