It was with great sadness I learned of Chris's premature death this morning. I knew Chris from early on in the life of the Corrado Club and was host for the NW Region when I first met him at the AGM in Nottingham in January 1997. I will never forget his enthusiasm and endless knowledge about cars, let alone his support to me as a Regional Host. When we first decided to arrange the 10th Anniversary do at Gaydon in 1998 Chris was the brains behind it and what he did not know about organising an event was just not worth knowing. I kept in touch with Chris over the years, as I am sure many others did, and even though I no longer own a Corrado, or VW for that matter, I still always referred my (much fewer) car problems to Chris and he'd say "still driving that Jap car? You want to get yourself a new Scirroco" - typical Chris! Chris will be greatly missed and I still can't believe he has gone, a great loss to us all me thinks. Sleep well Chris.
