I wish you, your family and the business all the very best of luck for the future mate. I have no doubt you will be greatly missed by all of PF, if you get a couple of minutes spare now and again dont be a stranger, pop in and see us all.

Take care friend.

the ford scene would be a very different place without your invaluable input both on here and in the work you,kenny offer at msd.

im sure you will not disappear from here completely,and will continue to help us with our problems.

have a rest and enjoy your computer-no more cringing when the pm's drop in!!!

see you soon pal

Its with great regret i read this topic but can totally understand why you've made your decision. Does this have anything to do with the very poor response for the new board version?

Without Passionford im sure alot of us on here (myself included) would not have aquired the knowledge and drive to buy Fords to keep persuing our hobbies to such an extend that everyone seems to do on here.

Ive met alot of good people from using passionford, learnt alot and had a laugh in the process. I can't imagine it would have been that easy for you though - everytime ive dealt with you ive got 100% honesty and good service.

All the best for the future, hope to bring my future cars down to MSD one day. Won't be the same on here.....

I don`t post much these days but came on here from the old RSBB days and I remember talking to Stu on the phone.. Only the once, but you can tell when you talk to him that he`s a genuine guy A rare thing these days if you ask me!

All the best for the future Stu + family, and hope to see you still posting on here in the future.

Thanks for all your hard work `pal`

All the best
