thanks....

Unfortunately all of his posted photos are caught up in this Photobucket racket as well. This is quite a repository of wisdom we are losing. 

[yeewiz]

another reason to post photos on this site and not on an external host site.  nothing more exasperating than to have a great article but picture links are dead.  sorry, pet peeve of mine

C.D.iesel's 'old' computer didn't play well with the updated FAQ a couple of updates ago. So he signed off and hasn't returned. I advised him to throw it in his neighbors pool and buy a newer computer. He also had an old BMW motorcycle and frequented their forum too. Think it was a R27 or R35 definitely an older air head.

 

Last I saw him in person was at Lime Rock back in 2012 he had a white Ford Transit Connect and selling parts in the lower paddock. We discussed retirement and where to live. Last I knew he was working at BMW of Darien in Darien CT. I'll be near there at the end of March, I will inquire.

I had the same Q martin but was afraid to ask.  He was a prolific poster and then stopped cold.  I find his posts to be very readable for an amateur such as myself.  I hope he returns.

I too had the pleasure to meet him at Lime Rock selling his wares. I was a super noob and unaware of being in the presence of greatness ? at the time

 

We exchanged an email and this link is still good with many of the incredible docs he posted

He, too, had computer / virus problems with the forum for a time, but he has been back.  He has a lot of irons (car projects) in the fire!  I see him at The Vintage every year.

C.D. picked up a Fiat 500 Abarth before leaving the forum - maybe you can find him on one of those forums.

For those of you who joined the FAQ post CD, he was the one who originated the "throw it in your neighbor's pool" for useless/broken/unrepairable parts.  You'll see that statement periodically on the FAQ--that's where it came from.

 

cheers

And wasn't it C.d who always used to say..... "Do you take shower in your underpants?"

[TobyB]

...and Jonny who most certainly didn't!
