Default Big shout out to marinabrian

Sadly I've been suffering with a severe neck problems for quite a while and it really affects my ability to do my work on my cars, so when the front coil spring snapped on my wife's 75 diesel I tried to do the job myself and just couldn't manage it. So I made a phone call to Brian to ask if he knew anyone close to me who would be able to help.
Despite Living nearly fifty miles away Brian insisted on coming to my house the next day. When he got to mine he made short work of removing the award lower pinch bolt that had thwarted my attempts to remove it. In fact he had the whole job done in just over a hour. All I could do was to watch him work from a safe distance as I am shielding. I really can't thank Marinabrian enough he really knows these cars inside out.

All the accolades above in respect of Brian are thoroughly, thoroughly deserved.

I keep in touch with him on an almost daily basis, the man is an absolute diamond.

He is always my first point of call regarding anything about 75's. Be it big or small, he has the answer, and the know how.

A huge loss to the forum. Such a shame.
