Terry Smith RIP

It is my sad duty to tell you that Terry passed away in the early hours of St George's Day, Sunday 24th April at home with his family around him. His sheer stubornness drove him to attend the Wessex Group meeting a week ago although he was too weak to leave his A40. Naturally all his friends crowded...

Re: Looking for a mechanic in the West Midlands

Dear Maya, I shall be delighted to publish your brave story for several reasons: like many other members you'd struggled to find a satisfactory mechanic and, being a female, could be exposed to unfair practice; owning a tired classic brings additional problems into the equation (how're the electrics...

Drive carefully, Maya, and remember A40s don't stop as quickly as moderns. Warmest congratulations.

Re: Chilworth April 16th 2023

Thanks for the pics, Mike, and I hope you got home safely. Despite being desperately ill, Terry was so focused on attending the meeting that he talked (nagged?) the hospital into doubling his blood transfusion the day before, so he actually received twice the planned amount.
