Being new to the .org community, iv never met the guy. However so many people speak so highly of him, he must have been a really good bloke. Thoughts are with his family and friends and fellow .org'ers who knew him.

I'm going to call his mom and dad today, although not sure what to say, and I'll ask about a charity. My instincts would say cats protection, but I'll find out if I can x

Simon was one of if not the nicest, most welcoming owner I've ever met. Once a month at the midlands meets and the Breakfast Club chatting away for hours about cars. Always remember getting lost driving around the car park. Standing around his old Porsche turbo trying to keep warm.

 

I met him within a week of having the car and from that day he was never anything but a gent. When someone vandalised my car he invited me round to try and machine polish the marks out. He bought a special paint kit to try and fill the deep scratches all the while supplying me with coffee. 

 

You will be missed Simon. RIP.

Just had txt alerting me to this sad news :'(

 

He was without a doubt one of the nicest VX (or ex vx owner when I first met him) that there ever will be!

 

Simon always went out of his way to help out anyone (regardless of being a VXer or not).  He helped me out on more than one occasion and I have many of fond memories of him.  

 

The first time I met him was on a Breakfast Club meet, shortly after I bought my VX and he had his 'Turbo S' we stood at Cosford and he said "You need a diffuser, hell every VX should have diffuser".

 

I'm feeling physically sick by this news :(

 

Simon you are already being missed :grouphug:

I am shocked to hear this sad news. He was a genuine bloke who would always help out where he could. Love of cars and watches kept us in touch even when he sold his vx and moved on. He was a keen participant of the peaks run and I smile when I remember how he ended up taking a line of vx in a car park in Matlock, and bringing the one way system to a standstill. I still cant believe that he is no longer with us. RIP Mr Simba you will be missed.

Simon bought my black Vxt (now Dave's) and I was so impressed with his passive, kind and trusting nature. He was such a gent and I feel privileged to have met him albeit briefly.

 

Truly truly shocked.

 

The sadness his family and friends must be experiencing right now - I can't imagine  :grouphug:

 

RIP Simon

Such sad news. As with many it seems, Simon was one of the first to make me feel welcome in the VX community. Such a friendly, enthusiastic and helpful bloke. Sounds like lots of people have fond memories of him. Rest Peacefully Simon.
