For once i'm lost for words..... I'm genuinely shocked.

To me helping members in distress around the uk was part of the commitment to being a LOC member, admittedly policing company's around the uk for members has been hard but that was all part of the promise.

Fact is if it wasn't for LOC wim wouldn't be what it is today..... to explain

Several years ago i was training to be an instructor so i decided to go online and swat up.... I noticed the info online was either specific like F1 or very basic?... so i mentioned this to my examiner saying the bit in the middle ie: public information was missing and he said if i'm so bothered then i should display the information.... so i did.

I was through wim-web admin here asked me why members front tyres on the IS where wearing, so after measuring a few cars i realized the Lexus settings were wrong and i re-wrote them to stop the wear.

Next thing i had was owners traveling from all over the uk seeking my set-up, but i was unhappy people needed to travel 100's of miles to me so i released the settings to the club and the public domain.

This helped but the centres of the owners choice struggled to deviate from the OEM settings so i wrote them the calibration procedure, but they still struggled so i would have to call them and explain how to set the car or offer the owner a lifeline on the day to call me if things weren't going to plan.

At the time i was in full employment but the volume of cars from LOC and then other clubs made me realise wim could.... just could be it's own company... and now it is.

For someone who said they were speechless i have pantsed on a bit smile.gif

On a suspicious note i hope i don't turn up to an empty hotel and everyone else is basking in laughter watching the CCTV from another hotel 500 miles away shifty.gif

Not that i could possibly think that bazza whistling.gif

Jokes aside, thank you bazza and indeed LOC for this "award".

I am quite surprised that out of the many many members here on LOC that Tony has helped, only 16 have stepped forward unsure.gif
I am sure i remember quite a few more turning up on the different WIM days we have attended in the past

remember we are now raising money on behalf of Tony's chosen charity,
any one who knows Tony, knows he loves to give but is reluctant to receive anything back
lets show him we as a club we can also give a bit


thanks to all those who have donated so far (except Tango laugh.gif )
Monster-Mat

Les and myself were great mates, many a day chatting over the garden fence holding a cup of tea tongue.gif

As for the wife's webby, www.i'm a person-not-a-postcode.com she told me i'm described as "looks like Richard Gear and hung like a Baboon"..... On checking it said "looks like a Rhino's rear and hung like a buffoon"... I really need to ask her about that blush.gif
