I'm going to miss that grumpy old man!
Back in the early days he'd always ring me after an event to make sure I made it back to Canberra safe & sound. It was always cute to see Monty taking up the entire rear seat of the R33. When he was at BMW he was able to order me some cool F1 merch from my man JPM (Juan Pablo Montoya). I'll miss him calling me "Shelly" and his distinctive laugh/giggle. Always got a laugh in more recent years seeing how many meat trays they seemed to win at their new local via their FB posts. I hope those mates down the pub are rallying around Mel and also having a beer or two for Neil.
I'm really glad I made the effort to go to Huntley Hillclimb a few years back and catch up with him (and Duncan and Kel) otherwise it would have been way too long since I'd seen him and that would have made me even sadder than I'm feeling now 😢
RIP Neil xx
