Anyone heard from Big Al?

[Nubbin]

Hi folks, its a long time since I was last here! I'm posting to ask (as per thread title), has anyone been in contact with Big Al recently? I have tried getting hold of him on WhatsApp, (his preferred method of communication) but not had a reply, and I see he hasn't posted since 9th. May. He's an old friend from the 'amateur' days of PH, and I'm getting a bit worried about him.

Any information gratefully received. I'm glad to see PH is still alive and kicking - God how I miss my TVRs!

Thanks for that - its what I expected. He sent me all his medical stuff last year so I could interpret it him, so I'm not surprised. Bless him, he was a real gent.

Hi flasher, how are you?! Its good to be here again! WHat happened to that yellow peril you used to drive?

How very sad, from reading the main thread about his passing he seemed like a top bloke. I wonder if this is the same Big Al who used to frequent the old SouthernaDownhill MTB forum back in the day. I remember he was heavily involved with moderation on there too.

I'm good thanks, the yellow peril has long since departed! I do miss my TVR's though and I'm still hankering after a nice Griffith to keep forever at some point!

Your Tamora was a sensational colour, giallo fly yellow wasn't it? It's hard to get TVR out of your system but getting stranded on the autobahn because the electrical connector fell off the fuel pump was a frustrating experience. Anyway, glad you're well, and very sad that Al is no longer with us.
