'I'm not a lurker but a passionate observer.'
Iain would have found that amusing, but he'd know the meaning. Beaulieu, Santa pod and more.
Funnily enough ten years after we'd last talked on e30zone I learnt one day that he had a problem with a package. it just so happened out of several hundred thousand possible issues I could have been working on, I spotted the Scottish spelling of Iain amongst a database entry. I looked at the problem at the highest level and then personally contacted my old friend.
Sure enough, my old friend and warm as ever. Yes I still have an E30 and, you know Iain, the current position with his hartge h27.
There's not a punch line coming to this, and that was Iain's way. We know why he lived in the way he did and his backstory and we really enjoyed just a bloke who liked cars. We share a common interest in history too and so I bump into people todaywho know him through that.
Rather than a teenager with taste, he was the old man with a plan. The plan was always bringing people together.
I still have my E30. I still remember my late night walks talking about the e30zone, my home for many years.
E30's in bits, obviously but I look to the future and it's reincarnation.
Thank you to Iain and to all the admins
