Sad to see.... hope it goes to a good home.
 
I saw that his brother posted it on team.net but John was more of a FOT guy so it should be there as well. I would love to have John's car and parts hord - what a great guy he was!

Of course it will but I hope they get to know the history of the car and the man that loved it.

Had been corresponding with John about some parts and did not know he had passed. Finally got in touch with Frank and met with him to pick up a few small items at the Foggy Bottom station. It was a grouping of parts for sure......I wish I could warehouse the parts.....it was a nice collection for sure.
 
I visited John at Foggy Bottom on my way to the TR races at Virginia International Raceway. I convoyed with him and his TR to the races at VIR.

I first met "JR" - as he was affectionally called - in 1996 at TRA in Williamsburg VA when he was the navigator for Bill Gray from Kingston, Ontario in the rally where we had to count cannons on the right side.

I also fondly remember one spring when "JR" put his powder blue TR3A out in front of his house and started the engine so it would warm up after its long winter in one of his "Two Sheds". He looked out the window 15 minutes later and see the attachment for what he saw.

He first thought that the engine had blown. But NO ! Squirrels had stored their acorns in his exhaust pipe and the whole area around Foggy Bottom smelled of sweet cooked acorns and one smelly TR3A
 
I remember John's love of aircraft.
