R.I.P. Quentin Willson

I've never heard of William Woolard but a program about gloveboxes sounds great. I'd watch it.

I read that he had daughters called Mini and Mercedes: talk about commitment to your cause.
Think he may have missed a trick (or a letter) with his son, Max. Surely Austin was an open goal there.

I preferred Top Gear when it was a car magazine show, not a load of clowns larking around, and QW was nearer to the former than the latter. I could picture him as a heavy smoker, but I've no idea whether he was.

RIP threads are surely not the place to criticise the recently deceased.

If you can't be respectful then please do not post in, or start, these threads.

Thank you.

The obituary thread on bike radar was often comical in an affectionate way, but I've behaved since migrating.

Well said, we can leave that kind of thing to Miriam Margoyles. 😂

Yeah, she does have a bit of an unpleasant streak.

While I don't approve of Willson's fraudulent behaviour in his younger days, people do change and improve themselves, as he seems to have done.

He had become a part of the nations cultural landscape in recent decades, and his passing is sad. No real age either, poor bloke.
