Fairwell Tribute to Andrew Spencer (cossie916)

[Ben Purnell]

After thinking long and hard last night and this morning of what we can do to pay our respects to a fellow member and friend to so many on this site and others, and from what Caroline (his wife) said on the phone last night, I would like to make the following suggestion as she would like to get his car to the way he wanted it.

As some of you know Andrew was going to buy the carbon hockey sticks, spoiler and splitter off Dave, Caroline mentioned that she still wants them to finish his car off to the way he wanted it. I told her not to worry about them as I will sort it out for her, as she has more than enough on her plate. Having spoken to Dave last night he has very kindly offered to go and fit them for her.

What I think would be a nice gesture (and I hope you all agree) is that we use paypal to setup a way for people to donate money. I need to speak with Caroline regarding all of this but I think it would be nice if we could use the donations to do the following with

1. Pay for his carbon bits
2. Get the picture of the photoshoot framed for the family
3. Arrange flowers and a card from all of us
4. Anything that is left over we wait for Caroline's instructions on what she would like to do with it

I hope you all agree that the above is a good idea, and a way that we can pay our respect to a fine gentleman whose life was cruelly cut short by a tragic event.

In order to donate, please could you send all donations to my paypal address as a gift only, to escortcos@hotmail.co.uk

Will do as soon as I get home mate (can't get into pay-pal at work for some reason! same with ebay..)
Think there will be more than enough money to do exactly what you describe above!

Somehow we need to get his car up to the rolling road shoot out if at all possible and by hook or by crook drag that last 1 BHP out of her I think that would put a smile on his face for sure

Donation is not a problem at all but i don't trust my technophobe self with this pay-pal thing so if i can send cash Ben, maybe you could sort the necessary

[Ben Purnell]

Julian no problem (pm coming soon), if people want to send cash or cheque let me know and I will pm you the details.

[RS 500 Registrar]

Paul

RIP

Excellent idea Ben, money sent mate, let me know everything is ok

I think it would be a nice idea from Julian aswell to get his car on the rollers and get that 400bhp out of it at least!

[ronnie amis]

Julian no problem (pm coming soon), if people want to send cash or cheque let me know and I will pm you the details.

Money sent

I also think Julians idea is a good one, and like i mentioned on the other thread would be nice if we could get a small article about Andrew and his Escos in Fast Ford

[jeardley]

This hasn't really sunk in yet was only chatting to him about his guitars the other day... Andy was one of the first guys to welcome me on here when i joined and was always friendly and up for a laugh.

He will be sadly missed.
RIP Andy.

Jim.

Thank you ever so much for those who have donated. As for his car on the rollers I am not sure of that as Caroline said she doesn't know what to do with it but that is understandable and the last thing on her mind at the mo.

Neil, will text you mate
