    Jason,
    Thanks for the thoughts and condolences for Les. His support and belief in all car clubs is well recognised regardless of model or brand.

    R.I.P. Les. He sent me a rare spares spoiler free of charge when he heard I got gipped by the guy at Gremlin. He didn't want any fanfare over it, he said he just didn't like seeing people get ripped off. What a top bloke. And what a legacy he's left.

    RIP Les. Nice bloke saw an opportunity and gave it a red hot crack. In the process created wealth and employment for others and I doubt there'd by many aussie classics on the road today that don't have a rares spare on them. Not a bad epitaph, we should all be so "Lucky".

    The funeral for Les was attended by nearly 400 people and gave him a find send off the way he planned. The family and company thanks everyone for their thoughts and condolences. His long term plans will see many new parts remade and introduced on a continual basis.
