Not seen as far as I can tell since the middle of April 19. Hopefully nothing untoward has happened and he is still fighting on...

Thanks for all the fish .

often think of him, I am guessing he is no longer around sadly.

Liked his banter, apart from when I was selling a mint set of alloys with virtually new tyre's for £500, he sent my a message asking would I take £200 . . . . .

Know Ian metro tried getting hold of him but no joy

As said before, hope he's off doing what he wants when he can.

YorkyBob believed in this forum and did his best to help and promote it.

I would like to share this PM between Bob and myself.
You remember that Bob arranged a meet at Tan Hill and a raffle.
Although I did not attend, I was lucky enough to win a prize, a largish book.
Bob, in his normal good nature, posted it using his own money and refused to accept anything towards the postage. (hence my further donation to his chosen charity.

He will be missed by the FL2 Forum.

Re: Tan Hill

Thanks Bob

The book arrived today, what a magnificent prize. I will send a further donation to Yorkshire Air Ambulance asap.

I am sorry that you had so few turn up after all your effort, unfortunately distance and time does put a damper on lots of many club's meets, not only ours.





Thanks for the sticker, I will wear it with pride, although it puzzled me for a bit where to stick the white letters on a white car.

Ian I hope you didn't mind me saying you had been trying to contact YB , apologies mate.  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

A funny, straight talking guy, his input is missed.
Is there no one on here who knew him personally or lives close to him could pass on our regards and well wishes? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Quick query, although we haven't heard anything from YB does anyone know or think if there will be a Tan Hill meet this year or anywhere else ?

I was just thinking about him the other day and checked when his last post was.

Iain

Sad to know if YB has indeed passed. Always helpful and although I could not make it, that event he organised raised good money for YAA.
