it's going to be hard to wal away stu, but, as time goes past, you'll realise that you've got moretime to concnetrate on the things you have been missing out on rather than spending every free moment in your life wondering what's gone wrong

it's been really good to have you here and i hope you won't be so busy that you'll forget all about us

i don't know you well enough to make any sort of jokes so i'll just give you some

The time definitely had to come, good on you for stepping down from the biggest Ford forum on the internet to focus on the truly important stuff. Congratulations on the marriage and house, we'll be in touch!

And just for old time's sake...I believe we may be able to find you somewhere amongst this lot? No idea what all that's about



Enjoy your early retirement!

Very best wishes to you and your family Stu, many thanks for all your efforts.
Frankly I can't believe you have put up with so much crap for so long, and kept a level and fair head through it all.
Hard act to follow..

Cheers!

shame to see you go Stu after all the work,time and effort that this site has taken to sort out.

Glad you have realised that there are other important things than coming on here and sorting things out etc...

hope everything works out on your other commitments and especially your new family commitments.

All the best and see you soon Stu.

All I can say Stu, THANKS THANKS THANKS


A good is at its place here!

Thanks for bringing Passion Ford to us, in my case it has made my hobby much much more interesting and have learned a lot. A good thing you still have time to do the technical section in Fast Ford so we still can learn from you.

Thanks again Pal!

Cheers, Wim

Nice one Stu. Much respect for setting it all up back in the day and totally understand why you are going the route that you are...it's a good decision. Life has many priorities it's up to you to put them in order.

Best of luck.

Don't stay away mate, I have met and made good friends with people on this site, I consider you one of them, will be up to Blackpool to see you all soon,

Congrats on the service you have done for this site its ceratainly a mammoth task, I find it hard enough getting 11 geezers together, a pitch and a referee for a game of football


Take it easy, be lucky
