He'd be far too modest to post this himself...
Well done Ian!

What a smashing article and great to see Ian is looking forward to many more early starts every November!

It's good to see Ian getting recognition for all his work. Lovely chap.
RE: Ian Nelson - bystander - 11-02-2025
Phew! Whenever I see a well known name heading a post I always assume they've died! Don't do it!
Ian certainly deserves recognition for his sterling efforts over the years!

A brilliant article. Well done Ian!
The last time I witnessed the start I managed to get a parking spot in the underground car park. There were a few Veteran cars in there too and the sight, sound and particularly the intoxicating smell of those ancient cars as they made their way out was something I will never forget.!
Long may it continue.

Excellent story- and keeping Parkinsons at bay.
I agree- a name needs something else lest it be seen as a report of a demise

As it seems to have caused concern about a possible untimely demise, I have amended the thread title.
