It's very sad to read this news. I must have know him for the thick end of thirty years but it seems like yesterday when I first met him at a DSR meet in the West Midlands. I'd like to think of him upstairs giving Peter a ride in a Sprint, with tyres squealing, on his way to meet Menai...

Just read this. Very sorry to read about Ted. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times.

One particular memory was the time when he showed me his Carmine Sprint engine bay, complete with his re-routing of the water system in copper pipe! 8). A smashing chap and an all round good egg!

Another excuse to have a large whiskey..I'm having quite a few of them recently.

Cheers Ted and all. :sozzled:
