Apologies for bringing back a painful time for all.

I thought Ian's videos were just brilliant. He had a knack for choosing just the right sound track!

I like this one best though. It sums up the spirit of Pistonheads perfectly:

Same as above,a real shame
I'm sure Ian would be chuffed to think we are all still thinking of him and enjoying his awesome vids,that one was a cracker and watching it again has just made me all the more eager to get out driving again. driving
Roll on the spring!!!

A sad time indeed - the video he put together for the first Marham track day that featured Gary's Ultima was unsolicited, brilliantly put together, and willingly made available to all. From what little that I knew, it was typical of him.

I thought about Ian last week.

There was a programme on tv about losing a dad to suicide and that made me think of him.
I wondered how his family were coping now.

I can't believe it has been (just over) a year already

I used to enjoy his plane/vulcan videos.
