God what sad sad news.
My over-riding memory of Brian came when i did a Walshy day at Crail with my ex's business partner, McApe and Brian. I didn't know the ape at that point, and I'd never met the Welshman before so I'd already raised more than a few eyebrows within the first 10 mins of arriving at Crail....but the biggest surprise was yet to come.
As we stood about waiting for the final participant to arrive, we were all aware of a distant exhaust note getting progressively louder until a blue noble burst into view and rocketed towards the entrance to the airfield. As the dust settled, and he parked the car I had no idea to expect of the driver, but i think my jaw hit the floor when Brian bounded out, grinning from ear to ear, dressed in immaculately pressed chino's, shirt, tie, round neck jumper and a pair of bright blue Sparco racing boots.
He then spent the day throwing his (increasingly broken) Noble around the course with child like enthusiasm, generously and tirelessly offering passenger rides and advice to two people he'd only met that morning as if we'd known him for years.
As others have said Brian was a true gent, he never failed to give me a warm welcome whenever we met, and never failed to remember my name.......no mean feat when you consider how many people he knows through SE and how infrequently we met.
What a sad loss to the world - my thoughts go out to all his friends and family.
R.I.P
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?
I actually can't believe this. What a horrible, horrible thing.
Gutted, to say the least. RIP, such a lovely man.
