Please excuse me if I am offending protocol with this post....... But may I ask our Mods and Masters to consider honouring the likes of Tomcat and Wammers with a 'Lest we forget' sticky?
These guys are the grass roots building blocks of sites like LZ and it is their technical knowledge, humour and selflessness that creates an unique relationship with the membership at large.

What I have in mind is some extra insight into the characters we've lost. I'd love to know the background to Wammers sig pic, G-TONE that little home built aeroplane (A Pazmany PL4 I believe)
and others have alluded that there is much to be said about 'Tomcat' Alan! So, sometimes a full obituary sometimes a simple paragraph, it doesn't matter. The point is that new members and old can understand that we respect and honour our on-line friends.

HELLWO 52 CLASSIC ,SORRY I DONT KNOW YOUR NAME , YOUR SUGGESTIONS ARE AN EXCELLENT IDEA !!! " SORRY FOR THE CAPS " BUT AM BLIND IN ONE EYE AND VERY REDUCED SIGHT IN THE OTHER , POST STROKES . ANYWAY I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR THAT , IM NOT SHOUTINGLY ITS JUST THAT IF I HAVE IT ON LOWERCASE IT TAKES ME 10 TIMES LONGER TO TYPE , SO HELLO AGAIN , YES YOUR SUGGESTION WOULD IM SURE BE A WONDERFUL THING FOR OUR DEAR DEPARTED FRIENDS , THE GUY TO SPEAK TO OR PM IS ACCYWINGY I BELIEVE , APPARENTLY HE OWNS THE SITE AND IM NOT SURE WHO THE MODERATORS ARE ,??? AS UP TO NOW IVE NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE,?????? YET ........ I HAVE QUITE ALOT OF INFO ABOUT WANMMERS ( TONY) AND TOMCAT (ALAN) . SO WOULD QUITE HAPPILY OFFER ANY INPUT AND THEIR MANY MANY OTHER FRIENDS WILLHELP GLADLY. TOO , SO GIVE IT A TRY, KIND REGARDS MOZZ .
 
One and all. Thanks for your support on this one. I don't mind drafting a narrative for at least the first of these having done a bit of amateur copywriting in a past life. I'm suggest doing the Wammers one first and so anyone - 'specially MOZZ'
who can fill in the blanks. - Age, proper name, hometown, background emphasising work and car related stuff. Notable achievements and a couple of anecdotes. not sure about cause of death but it does round things off.
I'm especially interested to learn about the little aeroplane on his sig pic. Did someone say he was an ARB inspector? Moving abroad and learning about Land Rovers - I'm sure there's loads of stuff.
One think to note is that I am rubbish at IT - I mean REALLY rubbish. If there's a way of contacting me privately, through the site - good news but my email is ------------- you're welcome to use that.

I'm not looking for work here, if someone is better qualified to do the job then I won't be offended in the slightest but I would be honoured to make this contribution to the site.

I think that once we agree what we want to say, that we should ensure that families are OK with what is proposed then present the job to out site masters 'fait accompli.'

Cheers all,
Martin F.

By clicking on the envelope next to your name top right enables you to send and receive private messages PM's as you will hear them referred to.
Go for it my friend. Personally I would remove your email from open sight as may get picked up by spammers and use the PM's to send it
