Hello, Simon's Funeral will be held at 12pm on 17th March afterwards there will be a 'car meet' from 1 pm at Hinkley Golf Club map. Obviously we would like Retro Rides to be there to show our appreciation for what Simon bought to us collectively and to celebrate his love of cars. If you are intending to go (either with a car or as a passenger) please add your name to this thread, so we can advise Simon's family of numbers. Whilst Simon's family have offered food I think it would be good if a contribution could be given from us. -David |

I can make that. I never met the man in person but I'll come to show some respect for a fellow J car fan and give some support for the family.

i am going to see if i can arrange cover and try and make it in one of my cars!
my 610 bluebird and 120y estate are on road at the moment so may be one of them
my latest 610 bluebird was picked up recently and is getting serviced this weekend etc so may bring a friend driving that
and my a10 sss will be out of the bodyshop next week so may have that ready too!
now only need to decide which one(s) to bring!
Mr Phooey was highly complimentary of my Datsuns and always gave hints and tips on RR as well as via PMs so I think I will try my best to make it down
put me down for now thanks

I'll do my best to get there. I never met Si, but through Retro Rides, lots of PM's back & forth and more so recently through Chris I feel I know him. What he brought to the community was so amazing that it's the least I can do to make the effort to get to the funeral to pay my respects to someone who will be greatly missed. I'll be in a plain Jane Cavalier so will park around the corner. I'm 99% sure I'll be there though....Chris, I'll give you a call tomorrow. |

Yes, I plan to go in my Laurel. Hopefully the right sort of car. Any chance of riding shotgun - the Monza isn't on the road and I don't want to go in a modern No probs if it's a problem but I'd like to pay my respects in an RR sort of way |

Id love to pay my respects but just cant travel the distance if there is anything I can do from afar please don't hessitate to ask. Like MM I may never have met him but he still felt like an old friend. If anyone is going from my way and has a spare seat?

Be good to have some company, and I was thinking of asking you anyway. PM me nearer the time to make arrangements. |

Amanda is now taking the day off work to look after Jed instead of me bringing him and having to leave him in the car during the ceremony. This means I'll have an empty car there & back if anyone from Bristol wants to attend as well? Whilst Simon's family have offered food I think it would be good if a contribution could be given from us. Happy to help where possible. Would they prefer a contribution of money, or would it be better to bring some food to chip in? Either way, I'll be contributing. |
