splinter Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 You really couldn't meet a nicer guy with a genuine smile and John will be sadly missed. As a kid I always had a little car with a number 7 sticker on it playing on the carpet. He has raced everything in Hot Rods from a mini through to the escort's, starlets and 205. I watched him throught the 80's and his win the English in 94 at Birmingham and his last race at the 95 World Final. He had been battling his illness for some time now and he will be sadly missed
