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".
RIP
I could not of done it without your vision
