He'd be far too modest to post this himself...

Well done Ian!

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 Sad

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