RIP Tony, you were a great driver and will be missed.

 

My father tried to buy a RS200 from him back in the day as he's a Ford dealer or was, RIP

 

I was sat down in an office at his works negotiating a price on some surplus Lancia stock when he came in, all of a bustle and just looked over and smiled before exchanging a few words with salesman chap and disappearing.
He was a really modest, understated driver, and you only have to read the testaments of his team mates and competitiors to confirm this. not bad for a Dentist Tony. Rest in Peace.

 

Klaus Shulze has passed on 22nd april 2022, after a long illness apparently. Saw TD at the Royal Albert Hall in the 70's, no-one like them in the UK at the time.
RIP Klaus

 

Had to Google that one
Wow what a busy musician he was over the years.

 

Just found out Tony East died end of February aged 81. Always visited his classic bike museum when over for the TT. Always ready for a chat about his classic bikes . Wonder what will happen to the museum and all the bikes.

Tony was my mate’s neighbour in Kirk Michael and I got to meet him and have a private viewing of his motorcycle collection.
He used to host rallies in his large garden with people camping there. I recall there was one ‘twat’ who loved to play bagpipes early in the morning. Not good when you had been at a lock in at the Mitre until the early hours.

 

Bad news, Loved watching The Sweeney and talking about it the next day at school

 

Wrote the theme tune, sang the theme tune…..

 

RIP Ray..had a face that didn’t need to say anything.

 

RIP Ray. Goodfellas would never have been as memorable without you.
