I bid thee farewell

I've officially gone.

The Carrera Register has now been handed over to Charles Marsland.

It's been good fun and I've loved almost all of it!

A big thank you to all you forum junkies, in particular Richard Bernau who single handedly holds this thing together - there's not much that gets past him. Thanks Richard.

Another big thank you to Geoff Ives - this club would not be what it is without you.

Thanks to Paul & Mary Kelley for all your support, not only to the register but also to the Isle of Man Region.

To all the Manx Tour visitors - I'm sure we'll see you all again, but next time maybe you'll be a bit quicker over the mountain!! Catch me if you can ........!

All the admin staff - a 'special' thanks to Sophia Scarsbrook (since left the fold) and all who support the workers - thanks guys.

Off the top of my head, Peter Bull, Barry Smith, Richard Hudson-Evans, Steven Mummery, Mike Rees, Mike Chadwick, Paul Dangerfield, Greg Cook, Roger Lucas, Dave Shadwell, Steve Darnell, Chris Davenport, Derek Sharpe, Gordon McKay, Simon & Rob (the Admiral) Faulkner, Fred Hampton (keeps my 356 on the map) Peter Schutz and all who contributed to my book. I know I've not mentioned anywhere near enough names, apologies if I've left you off, but thanks to you all for your support and friendship.

Too all the far flung friends I have made, Tom Trudell, Brice Kadel and Paul Cadrobbi (PCA), Mario Lusardi (Italy) and my friends in Stuttgart at the Porsche AG factory, Klaus Parr, Tilman Brodbeck and Klaus Bischof.

My register assistants over the years, Lloyd Langley, Simon Davidson, John Chesworth, Anthony Shuker, Alan Armstrong and Graham Ford - thanks guys, your input was much appreciated.

Finally, just a reminder, that this register represents one of the greatest road going Porsches ever made and possibly ever will be made. Please continue your support and give Charles as much of the pleasure as I've had. It's not easy and sometimes a thankless task, but always at the end is a car that will never be forgotten - the 911 Carrera is dead - long live the 911.

You can catch me (on occasions) in Total 911 magazine - and never forget the first time you lost the rear end of a 911 ......

It's been a blast.
 
Good luck Tony - you did a marvellous job(s) for the club. Are you moving house or staying on the IOM?

Cheers,
 
Ditto the above, love the book, you will be greatly missed, long live the 3.2
 
Tony - Congratulations on a great job. Good luck with your future plans on IOM. Look forward to seeing you in Belgium in due course!
I'm now off to Dubai for the first ever 24 Hours of Dubai...(a gaggle of Porsches competing)

Hi Tony

Thanks for the kind words and all your hard work over the years. Sorry to see you go, but know just how you feel.

See you on the hallowed isle in the not too distant future.

Have Fun

Paul Kelley
 
Sorry to see you go Tony, but I am sure it is a well earned rest! You have done a fantastic job with the Register and so many of us have much to thank you for. Not least me for your very kind words in April '04 and for persuading me to keep my 3.2. Cheers Tony

Just a word to say thank you Tony, for all of your work done on behalf of all the members of the 3.2 Carrera Register, Charles Marsland will have a lot to do to keep the 3.2 Register running in the same way you have done over the last five years.
The Register is still one of the top three largest Registers in the club and this is in part because of the work done by you and your band of helpers in the Register. You can now sit back and relax after a job well done.
Thanks once again.
 
Good luck Tony.

Sorry I missed you when I was over in the Summer. Hope to catch you next time.

Keep us informed about your exploits.
 
Hi Tony, all the best for now, did'nt we have some great times , like can we have dinner yes sir, how many for 42, poor shod didn't know what to do but we all had dinner, can only happen on the IOM , looking forward to returning , Its was the best of the best and very much down to you and jeff,, all the best Barry
 
Is Charles on the forum? and can we expect a return to some decent, juicy 3.2 columns in the club mag? No disrepect (after all, I am not volunteering) but we haven't seen a lot in the column for months if not years and certainly nothing technical. Once upon a time, some of the technical forum posts (some even written by me) got lifted out of the forum and reproduced in the 3.2 column.
 
Thanks Tony for all your help and support. Good luck with your future plans!!
..and thanks for a great book!
