A wonderful tribute to a historic car and a great guy. Nice job, Austin.

Re: We Lost A Dear Friend
So sad to hear this news. Mark was always a fun guy, and so enthusiastic about my MGA even though it's not 1/10 as nice as his. I remember well the first run he and I met on, and he was making little cracks about MGA's being prettier than MGB's and that I had chosen well. =)
I've said before to Stewart that if I were to take my car in a "restomod" direction, Mark's car would be the exact look I was going for. Very sad news about his passing, I'm sure someone I remember fondly from a just a handful of meetings will be sorely missed by his closer friends and family.
Assuming my car co-operates, I'll be there Sunday. I'm not sure yet if I can stick around for the lunch, so I guess don't include me in the count.

Hard to believe but Mark has been gone a year.
Mark's dad Erik asks everyone to raise a glass to Mark today.

Amazing that it's been a year already. Maybe we should repeat the Rosbif Run. It was on Sunday, February 7 last year. We could do Feb 5 instead so it's still on a Sunday.

I'm game, maybe debut the Lotus if the damn servos work.
I really wish we had got to meet Mark's mum and dad under better circumstances. Lovely people and so many interesting stories.
