Lovely message Mike.

Incase people have missed this I have listed Ians Storm in the cars for sale section. Please refer to the listing for any details or questions.

The Scala will be listed once Syncro/Kev has had a chance to clean up properly having been parked up since November.

Incredibly it's been a year this weekend since we lost Ian.

Remains much missed.

I understand that the Military have now arranged for a headstone to be erected at the cemetery in Harlow - it's something I'll endeavor to check out and pay respects at some stage if other people want to meet up one weekend.

I still find advice from him, and use it, on the forum. Each time it is a source of great regret.
