Belatedly with apologies for having a memory like a sieve may I wish Spike a very happy birthday for yesterday 3rd May when he celebrated a 'milestone'. I'll not say which milestone he's a private man that's up to him if he wants to share!
Contrary to some pop legend on A2OC I can confirm that Spike is a living breathing gentleman happily enjoying his retirement in the Yorkshire countryside. I've heard rumour that he's been reputed as an automated and highly efficient search engine for A2OC - totally untrue - he's simply got an encyclopaedic knowledge of our beloved car and the A2OC forum and we have all benefited from this from time to time as visitors ( or inhabitants ) of these pages.
So many happy returns to one of our stalwart club members, without whom the A2OC wouldn't be the friendly inclusive and knowledge sharing forum that sets us apart from many an online car club.
Don't expect to meet and shake his hand at a social though - when working for a large diesel engine manufacturer developing and producing power plants for trucks and buses he was known as 'the Olympic flame' as he never went out.!!
I hope Mrs Spike did manage to coax him out for his big day and I'll finish as I started wishing Spike all the best and express sincere gratitude for everything you have quietly done for A2OC over the years.
Happy birthday Graham.
