colin_ross Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Incredibly sad new. Simon was a great guy who will be sadly missed. What ever he did it was always to the extreme whether it was tuning the shit out of that car, moaning like hell when things didn't go right or drinking that one beer too many and making a tit out of himself. He created havoc wherever he went and once caused an argument between me and Mrs Playsatan when he emailed me naked pictures of his then girlfriend by mistake, I had to get him to send me more to prove I wasn't up to no good. I was going to post a picture of his car but thought this summed him up better. Link to comment

thefastone Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just found out, and Totally gutted to hear. He was an amazing character who really put a lot of fun into the events we attended, and I couldn't have imagined those times without him. Mad as a box of frogs! Got a lot of memories.

RA Dunk Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just heard about this as well, met him a few times at trackdays and various events and took a liking to him instantly, he had one of those personalities that I could gel with straight away. when most of us were chasing 400BHP back in the day he was away after 500 which was not so easily done then as it is now.. sad sad day.

zeolite Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 A Higgy meet would be to his taste. Absolutely. As regards the bridge, lets not attract any attention to "spirited" driving on public roads eh? I won't be there in body but consider myself there in spirit. Link to comment

Guest Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think that was the part my co-pilot got us all lost over a bridge. Great days !! Link to comment
zeolite Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I used to live a mile from there! Many happy hours at the pub hidden behind those trees on the right. Link to comment

thefastone Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Davie, was it you that took the pictures??? I've been trying to remember for ages who it was, as I keep finding the video in various places on my computers, and can't stop my self re-watching it every now and then... http://vimeo.com/11135102 Link to comment
corsa Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yes dale it was , will dig it out and post up again. Sure it's on my FB somewhere but there are a few pictures on that so would be quicker for me to look back the hard drive. Link to comment
wilky Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 A couple of pictures from my first run with the club. There's the millennium Falcon! And my bald patch!! Look at the geometry as well, 1 1/2 negative camber at the back, 1 3/4 at the front 2 mil toe in all round. Sharp,as a razor. I think Simon was surprised by the pace or he was shimfing about something. LHFOJ has his "do" as well. Link to comment

Lostboy? Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Met Higgy a few times, he was a gentleman and you were buzzing about modding your own car after after listening to him as he was so passionate about it. R.I.P Simon Lostboy? Link to comment
