Like many others, I never had the pleasure of meeting Ian, and only knew him through his posts and videos, but what videos! Especially the Vulcan.....RIP Ian.

Echoing the rest of the comments here, I didn't know Ian other than on PH, a very recognisable username and a frequent poster to boot... RIP Ian, condolences to all he knew and loved.

Very sad news. I didn't know Ian as I'm new to the site, but I can see just how much he was loved and respected by all who did know him.

Condolences to all who knew him.

Terrible, terrible news. I never had the pleasure of meeting Ian, but bounced a few mails backwards and forward with him over the years. It's obvious that he was proud to be associated with PH and the TVR marque and it appears that everyone who met him remembers him as a thoroughly decent chap.

I for one will miss his posts - both his entries in the forums and his videos that we have all enjoyed.

I hope that he has now found peace.

RIP Ian, you shall be missed by many.

My condolences to his family and friends.

His videos will be his epitaph,

I loved watching Ian's videos, especially this one summing up 'A Year In The Life Of A PistonHeader' Video A lovely tribute to what PH is all about, and what Ian was all about. RIP

It was only when I saw this post that I realised that I had seen some of Ian's work. How very very sad.

RIP Ian.

Condolences to his family, may he rest in peace.

He will be sorely missed. I wish his family my deepest sympathy.

Very sad news.Like most here, I never met or really knew him,but I do remember he took time out to email me off PH to answer some questions to one of my posts here. People who take time out like that are really appreciated and stand out within the community on PH as someone you think would be a pretty cool and nice person. Judging from the response to this post, I think I'm not alone in thinking that. My condolence to all his family and close friends
