As a child I remember visiting their home on journeys north and south in my parents’ Chummy.
The last time I spoke to him was in August - I was in France and he’d sent an impassioned email about an A7 issue that was bothering him, the only way to resolve it was to call him. We had a fabulous chat and the matter was fixed in true Peter style - frank words, cards laid out, common ground found ending in heartfelt humour. I will miss those chats.
Admin received the following message and would like to share it with you all:
“I have just read all of the posts on your forum and am overwhelmed by the lovely posts of love, support, friendship and help that your members have shared about my Dad. What a lovely lot you are and on behalf of my sister Sue & I please pass on our thanks to everyone. You all know how much he loved his Austins 7’s and anyone that knew him know how much pleasure they gave him in life. Life for Dad was all about friends and family (oh - and ‘swag’.. how could I forget ‘swag..!’ so thank you for enricing his life. You can also count on a couple of new members as last Christmas he kindly gave his nippy to one grandaughter and his sports to another and I'm definately sure we will need this forums help as I cant say us daughters and grandaughters know the ins and outs of a manifold or a carburettor even though we've heard the troubles they can bring many many times over the years! He was a great Dad and a great bloke and he would want nothing else but for the world to carry on as normal. The trip last year made me laugh so many times when he phoned - the lederhosen, the yodelling and ‘Joe’. Well done you lot and thank you all so very very much. from Sue & Jenny.”
Thanks R ,
I of course didn't know Peter but the Forum showed a true 'friends' attitude and a lovely reply arrived.
Excellent !
