Retiring

[marinabrian]

Come the end of the month or after all of my commissioned work is completed I will be retiring the magic wand.

The time has come where the demands of T4 work are impacting severely on my family life.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank customers past and present, and wish everyone a safe ane happy New Year.

All the best

Brian

That's truly sad news for those of us who have benefitted from your expertise.
I can understand your reasons though - family comes first.

Sad News Indeed,

Best of luck for the future Brian, and please keep in touch.

I too, have never met you Brian. But like others, I have seen from this forum how much help you have been in keeping members cars on the road. So sorry you are leaving the fold but the very best of luck to you in anything you do, and, on behalf of others, thanks for everything.
Alan.

Brian, you put me right and definitely saved a 75 from the end of the road; one that's well on its way to being a gleaming example. For that alone, I'm grateful, but your T4 mastery will be a loss to many, many people. Thank you and I hope you're sticking around? James

Brian, as others have said, family comes first and time cannot be reversed. I have had the pleasure of meeting you and my car was graced with your wand. I can only hope you stick around in some capacity and remain a friend of the forum, even if in a much diminished form. Cars can be replaced, family cannot.

This is a surprise Brian! But understandable.
My sincere thanks not only for your help and advice, but also your friendship. Without your advice, my aim of becoming self- reliant – and in doing so, be able to help other local owners to keep our cars from the grasp of the crushers– would have fallen by the way-side.
I have sometimes wondered how you found time to share with your family. Hope you and your family can fill your picnic basket and enjoy many memorable outings together. That was one of the criteria when selecting my thank-you gift - so your wife and children too could in some small way feel a benefit. As they say, behind every good man is a good woman – and may I add “understanding”.
Time passes by so quickly: and you don’t want to have to look back in time and rue missed opportunities that you could have shared with your family.
Thanks again Brian for everything, and hope we can still find time to remain in contact.
With my best wishes to you and your family for 2015 and beyond.
Bruce.

Brian, really sorry to read this..... but on behalf of the Welsh members who have received your exceptional advice and T4 facilities I thank you.

Your dedication in tracking down faults, AND solving them have been very much appreciated.

Still, life moves on and I hope, and trust, that you will remain an active member on here even without your magic wand(s)
