Whitebridges Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) This is very very sad news. I've had the privilege of meeting ditchy f2f quite a few times. Happy days drinking tea and smoking fags in his workshop. He's helped me out repairing lawnmowers, strimmers, chainsaws etc. and i don't know of a more skilled mechanic. Lovely old buoy who spins a good yarn. I hope and pray he'll be back. Edited December 4, 2017 by Whitebridges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 1. Never had the chance to meet him, but his Land-Rover rebuild thread was probably the most interesting thread I've read on any forum.... What a shame. Good luck to him, whatever he moves onto next. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Exactly. regardless of how popular or unpopular members are I still, after all these years, find the "I'm off" posts a bit weird. As the OP's original post has now been derailed, this can be closed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
