Good to hear from you Steve, and welcome to the FE-FC discussion forum. Good to see you're waving the flag for us (so to speak) over there.
Cheers,
Graham Pryce

Steve, sad to hear of the passing of your parents, I remember them well from many letters and calls. I still have a video of the assembly of the car. Did you ever finish the FC that you were building ?
Regards Ken

Hi Steve. Good to hear from you. I can recall publishing a members profile in the newsletter featuring your cars many years ago. I too am sorry to hear of the passing of your parents. Glad to see the cars are in safe hands. Looking forward to see updated pics. If you ever need help with parts etc, please let me know, I would be very willing to help. Regards Alex

Thanks for the kind words with regard my parents, the fc is about to go to the great scrapheap in the sky,due to lack of interior,the guy who resprayed it died and the interior was never returned,on further ivestigation it was found to have been binnedwhen the workshop was cleared out.other than that the car was ready for being reassembled,but due to costs of keeping it garaged and the rarity of a complete fc interior turning up on these shores my brother has decided to dispose of it.Hi to Ken I recently found some photos of various cars and rallies you sent to dad so the name does ring a bell,its could to see ive found the right site,I have photos which i can add to email but afar as computors go i wouldnt know how to submit them any other way,so if there is an address i can send them to let me know,thanks for the replies and i'll keep posting if thats ok,and the offer of help for sourcing parts is greatly appreciated as she's due her Dreaded Mot soon, bye for now

Steve,
Your folks were for a while a member of our club. Good to hear from you. Sounds like a shame about the FC.
If you want to post pictures here (amongst other benefits) you just need to register on the site - which is free.
Look for the "Register" link near the top right of this page.
cheers RET

Hi Steve
We were at your parents place in June 1995 & met you or your brother at the time. I have pics of 2 cars together at the front of the house.
Denis & Anne Gardiner were also friends of your Mum & Dad as well & he supplied quite a few parts for his car.
We were very sorry to hear of the passing of both your parents, they made us very welcome at the time & we had a great night together.
All the best for the future & hope to see you in Australia sometime, if you can make it.
Margaret & Geoff Saul
