John Watson of Real Steel has passed away!!

[mgbv8]

I popped in to get a bottle filled and some gaskets today. And was shocked to find that Jolly John had passed away suddenly a couple of weeks ago. The funeral was last Tuesday. I'm stunned! Apparently a sudden heart attack was the cause. The atmosphere in Real Steel is low.

I first met John 6 years ago. And he has been a great help to me always. He always ribbed me about putting a proper engine in the MGB

A sad loss. I'm sure those of you who knew him quite well may already know. But I've been away for 2 weeks.

RIP John. I'll miss our long chats and banter..
