 Registered Member #46 Joined: Wed Feb 01 2006, 12:00AMLocation: Clanfield Nr Portsmouth Posts: 150 | Oh my, Just found out about this from my friend Jimbo, who lives up that way and had the pleasure of meeting Max with me in the summer last time I saw him. Words cannot express how much we will miss Max. Despite moving away from the MINI scene I count all of you as friends, and especially Dora and Max, who were some of the first MINI mad people we met. Kath and I send you our love at this terrible time. I will give the car a bloody good revving in the morning in celebration of his life. xxxxx Tony Kath and Alana. | ||

Harpo, I received your text thanks, and yes, there were lots going on that day, hence I did not reply. Just realised I might not have posted the latest newspaper update, so here it is: http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/search/3842945.Tributes_to_Wiltshire_soldier_found_dead_in_canal/ It really annoys me when they referred MINI as Mini  DK Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

I still can't believe that he was at the first Unit I was posted to out of training, such a small world. Its amazing how paths can cross and not even realise to years later. He will be missed by a lot of people. As for the articles they seem to be written by a child. They could at least bother to get the details right as in The Royal Corps of Signals and Military Secretariat  Martin Support For Our Wounded www.helpforheroes.org.uk | ||

I am on the up part of the change curve now, and have gone through the "why me" and "angry" parts, so I am ok, thanks. I have accepted that I cannot change what is beyond my control, and shall concentrate on matters that I can control or exert influence Apparently some form of communication will be going out via the Royal Signals Society or whatever, once we have confirmed the details of his memorial service or whatever. They should know how to communicate properly of all army people, one would hope!!! LOL  DK [ Edited Thu Nov 13 2008, 10:37PM ] Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

I met Max many years ago on the very first run that we organised and was around in the very early days of the SCNM club. Max my thoughts are with you, your family and close friends. DK, I'm so sorry to hear the news, I hope your holding up. We only met the once but you left an impression (and a sticky thingy majig, not sure if you remeber me!) J.
