Remembering Mike.
This week two people have mentioned in PM's, that they still keep their copy of Mike's calendar on display. Mike had a way of reaching people even many who had never met him, personally he is frequently in my thoughts (and prayers), even though I did not know him as well as many on Tenths.
I wonder do many still keep the calendar on the wall? I hope so. God Bless you Mike. |

I still have my copy of the calendar hanging up in my office at work Baub.
And should also still have the spare copy I bought at home, still safely wrapped if anyone wants one... |

I had met Mike a few times as he was from my part of the country .
But my biggest memory of him was from the Flanders [ Belgium ] rally of 1987, where we had an event long competition for the Class win .And it is still a good memory that he beat me for 1st while I was only second . We had a good chat , [ and a few drinks ] at the presentation afterwards . And I believe that his class win led to the UK Peugeot 205 championship including Flanders in their events for the next few years . |

Yes calendar still hangs above the bench in my garage. Far flung race circuits are certainly not the same without him!

Well done Bob, Very nice thought,I was telling the kids about Mike earlier this week. Stew " Delta son "was given one of those cold coffee drinks which he did not like. Mike loved them. Happy days.

I feel really bad now as I took my calendar just a few days ago. Sorry! A good, and very helpful man, taken far too soon.
