Stu, good luck mate, I'm sure the move is worth it and everybody at some stage gets faced with a similar predicament, but for all your hard work over the years and willing to look after us PFers, a big thanks from me!

Hope the business keeps evolving and rewards you as you so rightly deserve!

All the best with the future buddy, and if your ever out with the camera be sure to let me know the days results

Take care mate

Quite right Stu! I'm surprised you lasted this long to be honest. I would have actually just pulled the plug on this site a long time ago.

What you said about the abuse and hassle the Mod's get, it's so true. I used to hate logging on here when I was one. And I hardly got any hassle compared to you, phone calls at work, texts ect.. Since I packed it in I enjoy the site alot more and I hope you do aswell Stu

Good luck with everything,

Stuart.

We've not always seen eye on a few things Stu, but many thanks for all the work you've done in managing PF for the past 4˝ years.

Good luck for the future

When I dropped my car off for its mapping session earlier this year you spoke of Passionford like it was your baby, and you seemed very proud of what it had evolved into, and rightly so.

Clearly you have valid reasons, so as others have said, thanks for so much

Really would have been lost without this site at times in terms of techinical info and advice.

All the best Stu.

Default Very Sad......

Very Sad, but fully understandable, why you have made this decision, and I fully understand your workload (with Kenny) when people like me bring you a Cossy on trailer, that had not run for over TEN years. You guys sorted everything out with total professionnalism, for over a month, battleing away with the mountian of crappy reasons it would not start never mind run properly..The smile on my face, when I picked it up and headed for the M6 south, lasted all the way back to Newport... Good luck for the future to you and Kenny..Thankyou both very much...Rgds Noel. (Wilmot)...Liege-Belgium...

Great move

Personally I'm also happy to see you go as if this place no longer becomes a burden and changes into something you enjoy when time allows, you may start sharing some more of your knowledge

Look after yourself

To be honest mate, I'm not surprised... Stu is a stand up guy and is very well respected. And I don't think it really has anything to do with what he's done for Pf, it think it's more to do with the fact he's just an honest, throroughly decent kind of bloke

Agree with that 100%

Thanks ever so much for all you've done with PF Stu

I've got loads out of this site, and met many people through here that have become friends over the years.

Hope you get into Evo remapping as I'll be back up to you for another map or two as soon as you do!

All the best sir
