wise old Al Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Many thanks to Everyone, marshals etc to make yesterday happen. Great day to RETIRE and stop being a pain in the backsides of my fellow class 1 competitors. I'm off to be a pain elsewhere. Watch out Morgan people!! Must admit will miss the banter and friends we have made. Anyone want a very succesful and reliable Caterham for 10 grand (one "careful" owner). All the best to the Lotus 7 Club Alan Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Willoughby Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Alan Lisa came and dropped the bombshell that yesterday was your last event just as I was packing up. Hoped to find you to wish you well, but somehow missed you - I suspect you'd retired to that four-wheeled drinks cabinet of yours . What a way to finish your racing career with us, though ! I just wanted to say what a great pleasure it's been competing with you and enjoying your company over the past years. You've always been really encouraging to all of your fellow competitors. In particular you have made new sprinters really welcome, and this has been greatly appreciated by all of my family. We shall miss you in the paddock and on the track, but I'm fascinated to know what your Morgan plans are (I have a lovely mental image of you campaigning a new three-wheeler - it would suit the goggles perfectly! 😳). If ever you're contemplating a trip to Cadwell, get in touch. Keep in contact, come to cheer us on at future events and particularly let us know news of your imminent grandchildren. With very best wishes Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Pepper Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Alan, I can't really add anything to Andrew's comments, suffice to say such a friendly welcoming person will be sorely missed around the paddock. Good luck for your future plans and what a way to finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Ward Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Alan, I honestly thought you were joking yesterday (you have threatened retirement once, or twice before). Anyway, well done, a great way to finish . Good luck with your next adventure, and I hope you’ll be putting in a guest appearance at some point Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lynch Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Alan, been a pleasure losing to you. Keep us informed of your Cuprinol dipped purchase and competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlymoFraser Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Alan Good to see you yesterday. I had secretly hoped you might hang on long enough to give me a chance to get the Fraser Johnson Fiver back. Maybe see you next weekend at the Morgan event. As we discussed yesterday, I think you will struggle to find a better Club/cameraderie elsewhere. All the best for the future and don't be a stranger.

johnpbransfield Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Alan, I noticed that you took a great deal of interest in putting up the awning on the ESV on Friday evening.......are you retiring to apply for the post of ESV manager!!! It has been good to know you over the last couple of years, I have enjoyed the banter! All the best to you and yours for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
