Popular Post Gary Taylor Posted June 8, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2016 I am posting this as I feel it needs to be known about. On monday I met up with Geoffrey and Buttercup and drove down to Killin, On tuesday we had an early start and toured around the north east of scotland, as we headed back we drove through torrential rain, I have never driven in rain that bad, we turned off the A( and minutes later my car died and would not restart, nothing. We changed some fuses but everything was soaking, after rolling down a hill to a safe (but not dry) place I phoned the breakdown who could not start her and said that she would need recovering home. Now this is my first thank you to Footman James who handled everything and she is now home safely awaiting sorting. The second thank you and really why I am posting this Is to Geoffrey who despite being on the homeward leg of his trip insisted that we have today together and he would bring me home. So we have had a wonderful day today despite the previous trials and tribulations, Geoffrey has done a 240 mile round trip northwards to get me home. I am truly humbled to have a friend who would do this for me and it really is what makes this club so special. So from the bottom of my heart , a very big thank you to GEOFFREY and BUTTERCUP Gary 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Having had the pleasure of meeting Geoffrey at Stoneleigh this year, as humbled as I am to read Gary's post, I'm also not surprised to hear of Geoffrey doing this. Glad you had a better day today! Well done Geoffrey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TableLeg Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nice one Geoffrey, Now if you could pick me up tomorrow and take me to work that'd be great. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin (Mr T) Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Top man! I've not had the pleasure yet, but having read the scribe's posts on here, it comes as no surprise to me that Geoffrey would help a stricken fellow member in this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-hrv Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Well said Gary. I've had the pleasure of driving around with Geoffrey for 2 days of his trip up here and he really is a top man (just like yourself). It doesn't surprise me at all that he took you home after your breakdown. He isn't the sort of guy that would leave a friend stranded. Having said that, he did leave several of his possessions at various places around Scotland this last 10 days, so it is a wonder that he didn't lose you somewhere along the way! (sorry Geoffrey, we said we wouldn't mention that!). Hope you can get your car sorted soon Gary and I look forward to our next run out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
