Richard Stewart - Honorary Member?

[Guest Ian Marr]

With RHE now in the hands of new owners it would seem an opportune moment to suggest RHOCaR members discuss the bestowing of Lifetime Honorary Membership on Richard Stewart for his unmatched and unrepeatable contribution to our beloved marque.

 

Now you may think I am totally barking or have hit the nail on the head, but post your views ...

[Jon Bradbury]

I suspect the poor bloke will be glad to see the back of it!

 

You only have to see what he looks like in the DOHC build video to see how hard he has worked.

Despite the new ownership, Richard was still there on Friday when we picked up some bits from the factory - he hasn't quite given up yet!! He was still wearing the customary overalls as modelled in the build videos!

I expect one of the sale conditions is that he hangs around for a finite period of time to help them through any teething problems...

 

My thought is why not.... wouldn't be a club without his company.. (but then I've never met him, does he drink beer & would he be a laugh?? )

[Guest chris brown]

does he drink beer & would he be a laugh??

No!!!!!!!

[Guest Battery Bill]

Thats a good idea BUT !

 

I cannot see Richard really making any use of it he is not the socialising type

 

I agree he should be honoured someway perhaps we should all write to the queen

and get her to give him a BEM for services to the kit car industry

 

Mind you it might be better to aim higher because they give BEMs to anyone these days

[Guest chris brown]

Ha Ha Ha spose you think thats funny

[Guest Battery Bill]

Oh Sorry Sir Chris I just didn't think about you

 

 

Yes actually "I Do"

[Guest craig030774]

yeah make him a honoury member

 

and give him a brand new kit

 

and see how many posts he puts on here saying how the bloody hell does that fit :gdit:

excuse me for being thick but "PMSL" ???? say what????

[Guest Petemate]

Hi Andy

My lad means Pi55ing My Self Laughing.

How are you? I'm due to pop up to Brum to see my old workmates within the next week or so, weather permitting. I'll give you a call nearer the time...

[Guest Andy Rathbone]

i will put the kettle on and prey for nice weather

[Guest Petemate]

Cheers for the prayers Andy, by the look of the weather we'll need 'em.

To revert back to topic, I think despite Richard not appearing to be the "sociable" type, we ought to do something to commemorate his efforts. I've always found him OK to talk to, and bear in mind I didn't buy the kit new, but that didn't seem to make any difference, he was always pleasant to me.

FWIW
