Hi, Just been checking the user list and see that my Dad Pricklybob has done quite a few post and attended some meets. Not sure if any of you knew him well but just thought id inform you that my dad (Pricklybob) passed away Friday night after a short battle with cancer. This is the unfortunate event that lead to me now owning a coupe. Not the best way to get one but he loved this car and wanted me to have it, I even had to promise him that it would be well loved and looked after lol, he loved it till the very end and was all he would talk about while in hospital. Regards. Simon

I'm sorry to read about your dad Simon.
I only met him a couple of times at midlands meets, but he struck me as a thoroughly decent man.
I wish you and all your family well at this most difficult time.

Simon, condolences. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in letting us know.

Something jogged my memory, and I remembered that I met Bob way back in 2005 when I had my first Coupe. It was a Welsh meet and we met up with people like Chrissy and Toprat. We drove up the A470 through the Brecon Beacons, then on to Defynog, then Crai and down to Dan yr Ogof towards Neath. The abiding memory [I'm pretty sure I'm correct] was that Bob let me drive his Turbo when we stopped for lunch near Dan yr Ogof caves. I had a Porto Blue NA at the time (middle of the photo), and he just handed me the keys and said "take her for a spin." What a thoroughly good bloke. I managed to dig out a photo of the meet. Again, sincere condolences. As you can see, he has left lasting memories even with those of us who only met him once, or just met him on line via the forum.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your dad Simon. I hope you enjoy the Coupe as much as he obviously did.

Yes Gripped that's my dad in the picture, I can only imagine how much he loved that day out, Look's like great fun i'll be paying my membership soon and joining the club properly. (Just a little busy at the moment, Lots to take care of). That would be my coupe right at the front of the picture although he's changed the wheels now (I can tell from the little dent in the door). Thank you all so much for your kind message's mean's a lot to me and would also mean a lot to old Pricklybob. Again thank you all so much. Regards. Simon.
